#1 All true, although I wonder why Peters didn't mention Mexico.

#2 That's because most Mexicans will be in the US in the very near future.

#3 I think Peters and Al between them have most of the list. To which I'd add:

* Climate change. Expect Obama to follow the lead of the UN and the Europeans to impose a carbon tax, proceeds to be given in part to international organizations to hire more apparatchiks.

* Law of the Sea. Signed, sealed, delivered to the Senate for ratification.

* International Criminal Court. Ditto.

* HIV assistance in Africa. To be reworked away from what has been successful in favor of a UN dominated (and therefore ineffective) approach.

#4 I've posted Derb's view on what Tranzi dominance will do to evolutionary research.

#5 Steve, I think you are wrong about HIV in Africa. I think the world will suddenly notice Obama's extensive efforts there and give him credit for everything positive that was done (but ignored) under Bush.

#6 I agree RJ. The only thing "W" will be credited with under a Obama/Dem administration will be "war crimes." I also think we'll see Obama sending thousands of troops and or Obama Corps volunteers to Africa to ..... fix things.

#7 Quite a list. Now add a couple Supreme Court judges and the lack of presidential veto over Congressional looniness; then try and tell me sitting this election out is a genius strategy.

#8 Remember that Carter actively betrayed our allies, with five nations being condemned to years of horror because of it.

Clinton was so incredibly lazy that the only thing that happened because of him was 9-11.

But judging from his buddies, Obama will probably stop at nothing short of another US civil war.

#9 Well, Obama is so absurdly pro-abortion, that in his philosophy it's okay to kill off the American population, and "his own" black race in disproportionate numbers, to boot. After that, everything else is small potatoes. Obama's relativistic world view and his own psychology (you gotta read this) will propel him into greater and greater grabs for power and recognition.

It's all so much worse than it seems.
