		<description>I feel all winds from the earth shall rock america and obama will turn america upside down with black dirt and destroy america as we know it . If he tries to do away with military like he says he will die . I really feel the black arent ready for responsibilites because they yell N word and say they will make slaves out of the whites . 
If this be , bank of blacks being in slavery once again . Never to free again in america . 
I felt first he would be good but when I heard he hated whites and went to all hate white chrurch that should been enough  to stop him . I feel God play big role in this somehow . Muslims believe in slavery and blacks want to destroy there freedon and Obama not there man .. Bless all not one race but all . May we find peace .. I still feel war will be on our water&#039;s soon and Obama will bring it on only to kill out white population.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;I am proud to have someone in office that actually thinks, ponders, and processes before reacting.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The attributes of “thinks, ponders, and processes” used to be minimum standards for a President. There was a time when honor, courage, fidelity, and wisdom were virtues that every American admired and sought in a President. Our current generation has set standards quite low.</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t believe the hatred and ignorance I am reading on this website. Wow this is scary. I am proud to have someone in office that actually thinks, ponders, and processes before reacting. I don&#039;t hate McCain or Bush I just don&#039;t agree with some of their views or the way the country has been ran the past eight years, but I don&#039;t think McCain or Bush are evil my gosh that is crazy. Just because you don’t agree does not mean you should hate. I hope we can all pull together as a nation as people of the United States not Republicans or Democrats as human beings who care about each other stop the division and the hate. We have to work together to make our world a better place for our children and future generations.</description>

		<description>What will happen when Obama takes office?

America is the 700 lb. gorilla in the room because of capitalism:
Obama and the democrat congress will take all the 401k money out of the stock market causing a total collapse and shut down, nationalize the banks, nationalize the insurance companies, spend massive amounts of money on health care plans for all and bankrupt the US.  Hey, it’s only “fair” to level the playing field for emerging economies.

America is the 700 lbs. gorilla in the room militarily:
Obama will call home all US military from around the globe and eliminate all nuclear weapons.  He will provide nuclear technology to Iran for “energy” use with no controls. It’s only “fair” to the world that America stop being a bully. 

America needs to be more respectful to the world:
Obama will strengthen the power of the UN to determine when/where/who gets aid or protection.  He will pull all funding and support from Israel, even if it means the collapse and takeover of that government in order to be more respectful to the Muslim countries in the region and to be “fair” to the Palestine people exiled from Jerusalem.  In return, the UN will create a new position for Obama as Leader of the World.

People are easier to control when hungry:
Obama’s government will declare a state of emergency and take over all agriculture inside the US and all food imports.  He will close down the grocery stores in favor of government kitchens which will tell us what and how much to eat every day.  This will also go a long way to reducing the “individual” rights and elevating the “community” in importance.  In order to be “fair”, Americans will have their food rationed equally. People who have money enough to try to buy better or more food will be seen as anti-community and will be required to do community service, after a brief visit to a reeducation camp.

People will volunteer to keep each other in line:
As innocuous names are promoted for the Civilian Defense, such as Peace Corps, and as the “community” becomes sacrosanct, the retrained and re-educated individual will see it to their personal advantage to elevate their status by reporting non-compliancy.  Those who continue to believe that they are entitled to keep their individual wealth will have others at the door, reporting to the government about their selfishness and lack of patriotism.  

Private wealth accumulation will be taxed out of existence:
Seniors will be required to liquidize their assets in order to continue to receive government health insurance (mandatory already at the age of 65) or health care.  Assets not needed for immediate personal use, like a residence, will be taxed at 50% per year.  So property or excessive “wealth”, like anything over $250,000 will be subject to fines, taxes, and penalties.  The death tax will be 100%. It’s only fair.

The American Flag is passé and symbolic of the imperialism and nationalism that is offensive to the rest of the world.  A new Global flag will be designed by Obama and the old Stars and Stripes will be outlawed.  Anyone clinging to the Flag, guns, or religion will be reeducated. 

Voting rights will be extended to every resident, regardless of citizenship status.  And POTUS term limits, well, Obama won&#039;t need that job when he&#039;s Emporer of the world, so it stays as is.</description>

		<description>Three Months – 

Legislatively, little probably will be done by the President, but hubris will most likely not allow for the O to learn from Clinton’s past.  Therefore, look for the rescission of Executive Orders related to stem-cell research and participation in the UN’s Population Fund.  

One Year – 

Offers several legislative policy positions for the President.  No middle-class tax cuts will be offered and those currently paying taxes will see an increase at all levels.  Add to that a mandatory Universal Health Care Policy that penalizes both users and employers for failure to participate.  Also include the passage of FOCA, federal restrictions to conceal-carry, and nationalization of auto manufacturers, domestic oil producers, and the abolition of the dual banking system – leading to only national charted financial institutions.

Four years – 

Although, the first two years of this presidency might push the electorate to change political power in DC, most likely with the greatest results would be seen in the Senate (which wouldn’t create a great change the proportions in the existing structure of that body).  However, the successful use of the media will result in little change to the make-up of the House.  Therefore, I predict the mid-term for the President will result in the passage of Green legislation that will criminalize individual acts that harm the environment – and the establishment of a domestic security force will aid in identifying and prosecuting the offenders.  Also, hate crime legislation will be broadened to include speech that has the propensity to “agitate” the populace against various progressive ideologies, such as multi-culturalism.

Just my thoughts – if I were Nostradamus.</description>

		<description>By the end of his one and only term he will be known as the second coming of Herbert Hoover. Democrats will be lucky to be elected as dog catcher.  We will be in the middle of a economic depression.  President O will blame all his economic problems on President W.</description>

		<description>Please let me elaborate on my earlier comment.  I think it&#039;s a false assumption that Obama has to &quot;do&quot; anything.  His mere presence, I think, will be sufficient to signal a green-light for all sorts of behaviors once deemed impermissable in society.  I think we&#039;ll see a sharp increase in &quot;hate crimes,&quot; for instance, but not the kind liberals and other leftists decry, and certainly nothing that the authorities will care to pursue.  I think minority-on-white racism will become an everyday, accepted phenomenon, and again, society will shrug it off.  Obama doesn&#039;t have to say &quot;Go forth and commit racism.&quot;  He&#039;s already signalled that, and he was elected.  Obama doesn&#039;t have to say &quot;Go forth and commit fraud.&quot;  He&#039;s already signalled that, and he was elected.  Obama doesn&#039;t have to say &quot;Henceforth, it shall be the official policy of the United States of America to make cozy with our sworn enemies, and to alienate our allies.&quot;  He&#039;s already demonstrated that, and he was elected.  And so, on and on, it goes.  He is what he is, and we fell for it, hook, line and sinker.</description>

		<description>#266,
I&#039;m more encouraged than less encouraged by the questions they are asking. I think some on the far left could try to make the case that questions 53-56 are to weed out those who favor more liberal policies on illegal immigration. (not my belief just an example).
the question about guns is curious but I don&#039;t think it is the precusor for an attack on the 2nd amendment. Why tip your hand?
If people are hired and are put into positions with access to classified material, the background checks and polygraphs, in some instances, are much more intrusive.</description>

		<description>Patterico, I think Dave points out the cognitive dissonance.  However, you and I recall how much trouble the Clinton White House had with drug history among their cronies, and Obama is pulling his out of the same apple barrel.</description>
