Election Predictions: Obama Wins in a landslide!!!

Yes, I said it. If Mr. George "two terms" Bush can "win" the Electoral College in 2000, lose the popular vote, and still somehow is able to gain the trust of enough of these United States of America to wield presidential political power then any win is now a landslide.


I would like to thank Sarah Palin for making my run-on sentences that lack punctuation seem more like a sentence fragment and also perhaps even more so coherent and such like the people in Africa who are hungry.


Democrats will sweep all seats in Congress; this includes seats that are not up for election. With this newfound power the Democrats will make the sweeping liberal/progressive changes that Americans are clamoring for: Universal Healthcare, end both wars (Afghanistan I'm looking at you), Working and Middle-class protection, free public education up to PHD, required public service and place tariffs to protect American Industries. It was perfect till I was jarred awake by my alarm.


Are "Green" jobs the answer for the American economy? Yes, but. I think it's a bully idea on it's face but is there room for America at this point? Many countries started down this road a before us, while we were deterred by conservative deniers. Of course I believe in good ol' American ingenuity; even though we are behind right now, we are a country of ideas and entrepreneurs. I worry that even if we do have success it will be short-lived. Companies worried about the bottom line and with no regard to the American worker or economy will shift these jobs overseas as well.


Even if my prediction fails to come true, we all have tons of work to do to help the next president. The only promise of the campaign is in us. We are the government, political power is given by us and we cannot give it up after November 4th. Get involved, bring a friend along. Politicians don't make changes, you and I do.
