When Barack takes office in January, he will inherit some huge problems
I feel down deep that he will win. The troubles won't stop immediately, there will be a long period of recovery. The main thing is that the direction of our country will turn. I also believe that Barack will serve eight years, and that a Democrat will be elected after him. The idea of "Change We Can Believe In" and "Hope" are real. The world knows it too. The winning of the White House is just the beginning. We can do it.

1. The problems will even be MORE huge than we can even imagine...
It will be another shock to our system when the curtains are pulled back and we find out how much more mismanagement has been covered up in the last few years.

I fear the cupboard will be truly bare - stolen by W and his cronies and private contractors along with the funny money schemes on Wall Street.

A painful restructuring of our economy will be in order - and it won't be pretty and it won't see quick results -- we have to make it clear that the ensuing mess is placed squarely on Dumbya's shoulders for history, if not for post partum treason trials.

2. Obama & Co is our only hope to turn this disaster around

It's going to be critical to have a total change in ideology and mindset to restructure the markets and government policy. New economic and energy policies will be vital with very smart decisions by the best and the brightest.

3. It's much, much worse than anyone can imagine. There's something very important hidden
in the demographics of this country that NOBODY is talking about in the media, online or mainstream.

There's a massive shortage of 45-54-year-olds that will appear starting in about 2011. Because of the Pill being approved by the FDA in 1960, there were far fewer births in the following decade. This caused a massive shortage in the aforementioned demographic... people born in 1960 are 48 now. People born in 1960 will be 51 in 2012.

There's something very important you need to know about that demographic... 45-54-year-olds are responsible for the stock market's success. They're the fuel... they provide the majority of the money. Starting in 2011, we begin falling down a steep hill and nobody replaces those investors. They simply disappear, and with them goes the stock market, and we head into the greatest depression ever. FAR greater than the first one. It's going to be a bloodbath, I think. Explosive crime, 25-50% unemployment, an unavoidable national nightmare. It will last for about 15 years. Maybe 20.

Obama is the only one who can get us on the road to prepare for this horror.
