#1 Pity this isn't an onion headline.

#2 Urged to lead the world out of economic crisis? A New Deal for the New World Order is exactly what I fear. The only bill Obama has introduced as a Senator was proposing a global tax to fight global poverty! Just what "wealthy" American taxpayers want to do with their excesses--send it to some African warlord so they can buy more sophisticated weapons to use on their own people! Anyone else notice the hammer and sickle flags at the celebration rally at the White House last night? The Che Guevara flags at Obama HQ's? I'm ill at the thought--Trailing Wife may have to organize an underground as I am not a good lemming!

#3 "We need a new deal for a new world,"
Make your own. The empty suit will be too busy trying to deliver on even 10% of the promises he made to his constituents. Spit.

#5 The prospect of Obama/Reid/Pelosi has to have a chilling effect on job creation. I have a feeling that companies will be shedding workers before the new federal overlords take over. More to the point, I think there may be a lot of capital looking for a safe haven before the end of the year.

#7 Global realities are going to constrain Obama considerably. His ego, the one that demands that he be loved and, more importantly, re-elected are also going to constrain him from going too far from the center. This is my hope anyway.

Everyone is going to ask for a pony. Sorry, but Uncle Sugar can't afford a pony right now. You want a pony, buy it yourself you lazy, incompetent bastards.

Obama's leash will be tight despite the hopes of all those with their hands out.

#8 global tax to fight global poverty

Since our poor are rich by global standards will they be required to pay into this global tax too, or will it only apply to those who earn more than $250,000, er, $125,000, um, $75,000, no, $40,000?
