This pretty much sums up how I feel about the whole Obama thing,
Will we see an end to the endless torrent of ridiculous laws curtailing our freedom?
Will we see America regain its once-respected position on the world stage?
Will we finally be free wars on terror and sacrificing liberties to save the children?
Will we see an end to poverty at least in the West?
Will we see a return of our freedoms in the collapse of the neocons?
Will we see the burgeoning New World Order collapse in its own filth and the beginnings of a Utopian enlightened society?
I say these things because this is the impression I've been getting from people hoping and praying that Obama would win the election. Sadly, I have come to believe that the most likely outcome is - meet the new boss, same as the old boss. That's not to belittle Obama - I wanted him to win and I confess for similar reasons to others. But however noble Obama's intentions, the reality is that the office of the President of the US is controlled by powerful special interests who will make sure that Obama toes their line and keeps feeding them their pork and gravy while tightening the noose of despotism around everyone else's necks - or else he'll end up like President Kennedy.
Given the man's determination to make a difference and improve the lives of the common people, I now have a bet on him being assassinated within the next 6 months. Of course, it'll be just some lone nutbag who "just happened" to slip past security, and anybody connoting that it was the work of high-up powers displeased with his going against their elitist grain will be dismissed as a tinfoil-wearing conspiracy theorist. And the real instigators will never be brought to justice because they're above the law. Remember, you read it here first.
