RECESSION

lots of belt tightening for the middle class..the poor - well they're fucked and the rich ...well maybe they won't be receiving as much 'welfare' as they expect to get from the public purse in future.
&
lots of budget meal ideas on the telly!


also.......

"take us'...
interesting language which says quite a bit I think....an expectation of sorts...
why put all the hopes of an entire nation on one man??

 I this kind of thinking as being part of the problem.
Its the system that's faulty...and its unlikely that will change with a new government...the establishment is still much the same.


anyhow...
I'd say...there will be an initial honeymoon period...
Obama will back track to the ways of the Clinton era...at least that would be a positive scenario. I would hope that he reviews his foriegn policy for example and uses more sense than his current promise of more american brute force in afganistan.....

I think christianity within politics is not likely to take much of a back seat any time soon...although the evangelicals are needing to regroup and re fill some of the losses..the deaths and the scam artists/cheats of the last few years.

Umm...the bible belt will go on as per usual - schools teaching crap and praying in front of the flag...(does't take an einstin to see that)


I don't know...I think it will be many many years before the usa regains some of the world's  respect that was lost in the last decade or so...There needs to be a great effort in diplomacy towards its business partners etc.

Change is definately in the air..but it has nothing to do with a new president. It was time for the democrates to win - part of the natural cycle - you only have to review history to see that.
