The next president will wrestle with volatile markets, faltering consumer confidence, spreading unemployment – the worst economic climate since Franklin Roosevelt took office in 1933. He'll also have to cope with two wars, a strained military, frayed alliances and an emboldened Russia.
Even after surviving two years on the stump and shelling out hundreds of millions of dollars on consultants, attack ads and charter flights, who would want this job?
There's no president in recent history that's had so many crises to deal with. ... This president's going to have his hands full," said Leon Panetta, chief of staff to the last Democratic president, Bill Clinton.

McCain/Palin have proven records, clearly have the experience and judgment to handle crises, that needs action, not just rhetoric, which is the only thing Obama can offer.
Let me guess...they actually used Journalistic investigation and good-ole gumshoe technology?
The lamestream media is so gone.
The 2001 brief, shallow recession technically began in March, 2001, a mere 6 weeks into Bush's administration. Remember that the tech bubble burst in 2000, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ index had already dropped nearly 60% from it's March, 2000 peak.
Yet, libs attempted to pray on the ignorance of the public by attempting to pin the recession on Bush. I suspect they knew they were lying through their teeth, but hey, the ends justify the means, yes?
Now do you understand why Joe Biden was talking ablut the “great challenges” that would land on Obama’s doorstep within the first six months of his administration?
The fortunate thing about all this distraction that is going to be handed to Obama, he won’t have time for quite a while to give his undivided attention to totally rewriting the Constitution, or at least artfully circumventing it. But with the series of crises that will be coming his way, he has an opportunity to simply suspend the Constitution, which accomplishes almost the same thing.
“Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda cool!”
Do not worry. Things will play out one of two ways.
A) President Obama will blame Bush for having to raise taxes and put in radical changes to help “The People and the Children.” He will blame greedy Wall Street and Big Oil. He can’t do all he likes because Bush messed up the nation. He can use this for at least two years. He may even try Bush as a war criminal to keep people’s minds busy as he saps away our rights one at a time.
B) President McCain will become an instant “bad Guy” if he wins by the angry media who will do all in their power to break him and Sarah Palin apart. The Democrats in Congress and the Senate will make sure he is a failure (like they tried with Reagan—remember Catsup as a vegetable?) by knocking everything he tries. They will make sure the economy goes in the tank so they can call it the McCain Depression. It will not be hard. They will just keep spending on this bail out and that give away. In the end Poor McCain will be turned into another Ford.
The nation is screwed in any case.
Almost makes me wish OsamaObama will win Tuesday. When the country goes to hell the face of ONE party and ONE party only will be all over it.
If the next president is an Obama it will be America that will face its most serious challenge!
[i]”Mark my words,” Biden told donors at a Seattle fund-raiser Sunday night.
“It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.
“Watch. We’re going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.
“And he’s going to need help . . . to stand with him. Because it’s not going to be apparent initially; it’s not going to be apparent that we’re right.”[/i]
One man will try to fix them.
The other will blame every thing on the last President.
Never in history has a candidate, totally unknown to the idiots who flock to him, and so potentially dangerous to our nation has risen to the top.
(Of course the $600 million dollars advanced to buy America has helped.)
If this creepy, crawly enemy gets elected the danger he and the DemocRAT majority in Congress can do in the next four years will take a genius 25 years to just return to the present state of affairs.
Meanwhile, during those four years we won't be surprised to see entire cities wiped out, bomb craters in the middle of our highways and scavengers raping, looting and murdering the anti-Obomba forces.
Thanks clueless American voters for delivering us into the hands of the evil one!
Palin especially has a record that is beyond reproach and reeks of what DemocRATs despise: decency.
