How exactly do I make money during the Obama Mis-Administration?
A strategy like that would have worked fine with Carter.
Public records on individuals will become very important under a one-party state, as that one party decides how to dole out government services and other mercies to individuals.

Oh that’s easy... you just avoid the additional expense by speculating against America. You use your wealth to leave the country or invest in foreign markets where capital gains taxes are half that of ours or are non-existent.
You put your money in futures markets that bank on failure instead of growth. In any major economic swing, the ability to identify who will win and who will lose becomes MUCH easier.
First, ask what BO will try to do. Then invest accordingly.
Will he spend wildly? Perhaps increase the deficit? That implies inflation and a decline in the dollar. How can you take advantage of that? Precious metals and mining companies might be a way, and likewise commodity oriented investments, such as ETFs. Raw land might be worth considering.
Perhaps he will bring in universal health care. There are stocks available in that investment sector.
Will he pursue alternative energy? Again, look for investments that focus on the area.
Volatility - the kind fostered by changes in spending priorities - are your friends.
