14 months into the 7 year prediction of the Obama administration accomplishments..

[Peacetrain]

Well lets see.. 14 1/2 months later into the seven year prediction.. I think I am looking pretty good here with the crystal ball. I highlighted the predictions met already or pretty much set.. I mean who would have thought that 2 of those 3 supreme court justices would already be sitting..maybe he will actually get 4 on.. now that would be amazing..

I have been away for a few days, making lemon pie ;).. and it gave me a chance to get back to a healthy perspective. Sometimes, the road is so rocky, getting to where we are going, it is hard not to think of nothing but the rocks instead of the destination. But I digress....


In the long haul of the course of the next 7 3/4 years.. we are going to see..

A. The return of a healthy economy, and the fairly distinct progress in reducing the national debt.

B. The car companies will be smaller, but they will be productive. The US gov. will be out of the car buisness also.

C. Pakistan, and Afghanistan, with the help of other middle eastern nations, will have finally kaboshed Al Qaeda. We might still have a presence in that area, but it will be more like what we are in Sorth Korea, or Germany.

D. There will be a national health care system that uses both public and private entities. We will also have a national health agenda being promoted in all the schools.

E. Gay marriage, will just be another ceremony. Everyone will be registered at their favorite store, and everyone will have their announcements in the newspaper. And it most likely will go through state by state. There will be a few hold outs in the deep south, but few indeed.

F. In that same vein.. DADT will be a thing of the past.

G. President Obama will have secured 3 supreme court justices who are moderate left of center. It is who he is.

H. Even the republicans will have changed one of two things..
1. split with a libertarian and constitutionalists branch..
2. or they will have purged their talking hounds from having leadership roles, and have moved themselves to the middle..
Either way, a more centrist party will appear to challenge us.

I. The securing of the Social Security System for the next 80 years by the lifting of caps

With all that being said, there will still be vociferous challenges to sane people from the fringes, that will drive all of us nutsy fagen..

But that is my crystal ball moment.

EDIT//thank you for the heads up.. sheesh..north..what was I thinking

8. but you did predict it ... sort of ...

"there will be" ... that is a prediction ... and some of those "challenges" are coming from our side, albeit not as hilarious as Sharon Angles.
