Obama – one-term president?


Barack Obama campaigned on “Hope and Change.” It’s been more than 40 days since took office as the 44th President of the United States on January 20. Jesus spent 40 days in the desert to resist Satan's temptation. Americans spent 40 days waiting for “Hope and Change.” Did Obama spend 40 days in figuring out how to give out “Hope and Change”, or is he resisting? Americans have not seen hope, they’re still in fear. Americans have not seen change; they’re still status quo (or even worse): in deep shits.

My previous blog predicted that, based on the assumption that the GD II curve is of a similar shape to the GD I curve but stretched, the current down spiral will bottom out in 2012. Incidentally, a research paper by Robert Barro, a professor of economics at Harvard, also thinks that it is also probable that “it is likely recovery would not be substantial until 2012.”

If this is really the case, what would happen in 2012?

2012 is the year the next American presidential election takes place. By then people are still in deep shits – much deeper and shittier than today – they will obviously and naturally blame .gov, just like they were blaming the bushy-pushy guy in 2008 for pushing the Americans into GD II. They will ditch and dump Obama because they will be all screaming “Oh, papa, oh, mama, where has this oh-papa-oh-mama guy led us to? Looking back, life was so much better then with the bushy-pushy guy.”

Perhaps one day, historians will write: “Barak Hussein Obama, the first African American president was elected for one term only. He was succeeded by [fill-in-the-blank] of the Republican party.”
