The Obama Presidency

Some predictions and comments:
Things will not be as great as his fans predict.
Neither will catastrophe befall the US as his detractors claim.
He will disappoint the Berkley style liberals with his moderate positions. This will also disappoint the Far Right as he will not be as hateable.
Guns will not be outlawed.
Pot will not be legalized.
We will still need oil and therefor have to deal with the problems of the Middle East.
It will get expensive again.
Many in the Middle East will still hate us for our involvement.
Electric cars will become more available and affordable. This will have very little to do with anything President Obama does.
Racism will not disappear and poor people will still have it tough.

I hope he is a great success and that the nation, and people, prosper under his guidance. I am not banking on it.
I will reserve my judgments until he has had time to actually do things. I wish all people would do the same.
