Take it from someone that is *litterally* worried about family members dying of heart attacks due to the election, things won't be as bad as some worry. As much as this is (what I believe) the worst possible outcome for conservative values and smaller government, the new government will be walking a tight rope. I've been telling everyone this: We have 2 options for the new Obama government: 1) They actually fix things and America gets better. They do this by bridging the gap(s), and actually do *heal the nation*. Left-leaning government ends up going moderate, everyone wins. 2) Obama does what we all fear, and screws up the country. In 2 years, we'll have a new senate, and voters can easily make Obama's Democratic government pay, and have a moderate/right senate. This would give BHO a lame duck congress/senate. 4 years he's out of office. So either way, it won't be as bad. We survived under Clinton (albeit with a Republican congress/senate), but as much as we can fearmonger, America has survived for 200+ years, and will continue to do such. Even if I hate European socialistic politics, they at least work somewhat, and it's still a livable country. It's like Mike Huckabee said in the Regent University debate "It won't be the end of the world. It's just going to recover a lot more slowly than if McCain was president". Huckabee/Palin 2012 :) |
True, I guess he will be under a lot of scrutiny for the next few years; I just hope a rebounding economy (whenever it does) isn't automatically afixed to the Democrats merely because they're in office. Nevertheless, you'r probably right.

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made. I won't open my unworthy mouth.
