Whether they're caused by himself or external factors.
Hard to see the future it is, go first anyway I will.

High unemployment in America obviously, it'll reach the 7% of unemployment rate.
Obama will flip flop on some of his campaign promises.. duh

Tension will rise in far east first rather than the middle east.

Multiple major breakthroughs in medicine, cure for cancer, replacement for antibiotics, cure for HIV.
An ecological disaster caused by man.
The very first internet/world communication network crisis. Imagine if the y2k bug really happens, only it won't be that bad.

No Amero.
He's not the antichrist.
He'll finish his term (won't be impeached).
2012 is the continuance of the year 2011.

A public event.

A blown security detail.

Wits will disagree about how many bangs they hear.

And which direction they came from.

Uh oh.

Pretty widow. Screaming children.

They'll say it was a single racist nut with a rifle.

I heard somewhere that NYC has a possibility to be dirty bombed sometime early next year and i think that is a very real threat that Obama will need to deal with. I also think that San Fransisco will suffer from a major earthquake, mainly because it is due for a major one, for 10 years now i think is the number i heard.

(correct me if any of these aren't close to reality)

I also think that Obama will go through at least 3 assassination attempts, i can only picture some crazy white supremacist's plotting his demise

Government will grow larger.

Taxes will increase across the board (not just people making over 250k).

Economic crisis will worsen.

Unemployment will rise due to higher taxes on businesses.

At least 1 assassnation attempt, possible sucessful, possibly a false flag, but I'd not blow it off that it really would be a recist/religious nut based on what I have seen.

Assasination attempt.(Succesfull or Not)

Higher taxes in everything.

Higher prices on everything.

Tensions with Eastern Europe.

Economy goes to #.

He is presented with a critical situation and he takes the wrong decision.

Some rights will be taken away from the people.

Obama will declare a state of emergency within the first three weeks of his presidency.

On the last year of his first term....

The End World Prophecy is fulfilled: Sarah Palin becomes President.

And then Quatzequatel eats her, resulting in a thousand years of peace.

lmao yes this does seem to be what can happen. right after a the GFL come and take goodchild and her believers with them causing the IQ average to instantly go up making earth the smartest planet in the solar system.

I think the biggest impact comes from who he names to his cabinet and who he names secretary of state. I predict it will not be john kerry.

Peoples take home pay will decrease for everyone. It may not be actual income tax, but new payroll taxes or increases in those we have now will increase.

Small businesses will either fail by the thousands or they will lay off their workers and find ways to continue without hiring others.

Health Care will be partially socialized and the quality will diminish greatly.

MD's will be in short supply because they will no longer be able to earn enough to justify the outlay of a quarter to a half million dollars to get their degree and set up a practice.

Finding an MD when you need one will become an impossible nightmare and people will be reduced to waiting months or years for elective surgery or they will go to other countries like the Canadians do if they can.

Since nearly all Democratic Congresspersons and Senators are themselves Attorneys, the cost of everything, especially medical care will go up even more due to frivolous lawsuits as the scummy attorneys line their wallets.

Unemployment will top 8%.

Mortgage rates will top 10% and perhaps as high as 20% as they did during Carter.

Education standards will be reduced and teachers will be held less accountable for their failure to teach.

Entitlements will increase dramatically as will the National Debt.

The US / Mexico border will be grossly understaffed and illegals will pour in by the millions putting a huge burden on our Hospitals, Schools and local economies.

The laws will be changed to allow illegals to have all the rights of US Citizens.

Gang activity will increase dramatically and inner-city crime will explode.

Or not???????? Check back with you in four to eight years.

1. the Obama youth movement will get into full swing

2. Obama's very own national service will be implemented with unemployed and homeless taken first.

3. The US version of a SS will be in full swing

4. a war will begin due to someone else being the agressor (or so it will seem)

5. he will be the answer that people have been looking for and readily give up what remains of their freedoms.

6. the beginning of the dis armarment of the US people

7. beginning of socialised medicine.

8. possibly a pandemic.

all just guesses, but I suppose my guess is as good as the next.

I'm stumped right now, I want to say something about the economy, but I've just realized that there's something strange about the current US economy. I feel the current situation is simply puzzling. I have to gather my thoughts on that first.

A lot of assassination predictions definitely, Obama does sound more and more like Abe Lincoln with his choice of cabinet members, but I believe he'll be all right.

The earthquake prediction is interesting though since the 'biggest' earthquake drill in US history was conducted in California very recently.

Why? Anything in particular?

Hmm... I think

tensions will rise between the West and our allies and China. (Due to the current economy and their rising power, middle class, power in the world, etc.)

tensions will rise between the West and our allies and Russia. (Russia's Duma just voted to extend Medvedev's term to 6 years, so Putin isn't going anywhere for a while)

implementation of either the Amero or some kind of global currency

10-15% unemployment rate by end of first term and fewer jobs

many people moving in with friends and family to stretch money and resources further. I've have already seen this, as a friend of mine just got foreclosed on (after having been laid off) and moved in with another friend of mine (who also just got laid off). Fortunately they both have second backup jobs, and are not only splitting expenses, but cutting back on a few- like extra cable channels and such. This has always been done by people in tough times, but I think there will be a lot more of it.

less materialism, people returning to the kinds of entertainment we use when in simpler times- games, reading, drinking (yay for adult having adult beverages), more conversation. (Which I have to say, is not a bad thing, in my opinion.)

less going out to dinner, less frivolent spending, hopefully a return to more local buying of goods and foods

the cost of food will go up

more homeless, more crime

And I do think this would have happened with Mccain too, except with foreign policy. Although he did show some belligerence duing the Georgia/Russia conflict earlier in the summer, the neocons and Kissinger seem far more concerned with the Middle East, whereas Brzezinski seems more concerned with Russia and China.

My prediction:

We all gonna die!!

ONE OF MY FEARS FOR 2009

The next Super Bowl in Tampa could be a target for a dirty bomb detonated on a ship in Tampa Bay. Even worse a biological attack. Does anyone know how far it is from the stadium to the FEMA coffins in GA, and direction of the wind that time of year?
