In short, the political establishment will continue to pursue its agenda - without a break in meter - regardless of who it places on the throne.

I'm looking forward to the markets collapsing even worse than it currently has under Bush. I'm looking forward to the gas shortages and the sky-rocketing prices of oil and energy in general. I'm looking forward to the expansion of the welfare state. I'm looking forward to a bigger war with Afghanistan. A war with Pakistan. A war with Russia. I'm looking forward to a global carbon tax, and higher taxes for those who create jobs. I'm looking forward to less tax revenues and higher deficits. I'm looking forward to higher unemployment. I'm looking forward to Obama's peace corp. activists and such. I'm looking forward to the surveillance state. I'm looking forward to true progressives being completely disappointed in their man. I'm looking forward to universal healthcare, and higher health costs. I'm looking forward to the shortfall when it comes to entitlements... I'm looking forward to such great times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-1154036443567227322008-11-05T13:19:00.000-05:002008-11-05T13:19:00.000-05:00Prof, I have to tell you that it was an absolute j...Prof, I have to tell you that it was an absolute joy to be a part of this historical election! I'm proud of us Americans for doing what was right for our country and the world.<BR/><BR/>Indeed the entire election process (including the news coverage polls) seemed to run just like a well-oiled machine, didn't it? Whew! that was a relief.<BR/><BR/>We were intrigued when Wolf Blitzer introduced Jessica Yellin via hologram and interviewed her and then didn't want to leave CNN for fear of missing more holograms. :)<BR/><BR/>I have high hopes that President Obama will live up to his promises and watching/listening to his speech was nothing else BUT a magical experience. <BR/><BR/>As for McCain's concession speech, by giving it when and how he did, it showed that he walked away with class and dignity.badthing1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09985465976840168636noreply@blogger.com
