While it is impossible to predict the future (there are just too many variables) it is possible to predict trends.
The trend is things are going south for the world and the United States. Some things are being managed by those that want chaos, and some things are just random.
If anything is becoming clear about this administration it is they see everything through political glasses, that is, how they can shape events to further their cause.
Everything they do (or in some cases don’t do) are in meeting their goal into shaping this country into their socialist utopia.
Unfortunately for them (and fortunate for us) they are incompetent. They think they are controlling events but I believe things are out of their control.
The two Koreas are at the point of another war, the only thing stopping it is what do the Chinese want? If the Chinese think a war in Korea is good for them, it will happen.
It appears that Iran will soon have (if they do not already have) a nuclear weapon. The only question is will they use it to destroy Israel immediately or simply blackmail the world?
Europe’s economy is in the toilet, but the real problem is not their economy, but the demographics. Europe will soon not be Europe anymore but an extension of the middle east.
War between Muslims and the rest of the world is on the horizon and the world leaders think all they have to do is be nice and their heads will not be separated from their body.
I can go on. The world is heading for some major problems and the only super power is being weaken by a thousand cuts.
The oil in gulf is a tragedy, but one that we can easily survive.
We need a competent leader, one that has the best interest of our country at heart, Obama is not that leader.
At some point he will need to be replaced. Our constitution provides a way. I believe there is a good chance that he and Biden will be impeached before this is all over.
Plausible resignation speech:
"Due to unprecedented levels of racism and threats against me and my family from the Tea Baggers and other members of the vast Republican right-wing conspiracy, my ability to do the job of leading the American people has been constantly impeded and hopelessly compromised.
For this reason, I am signing Executive Order #IM666, placing America under Community Organizing law, suspending the unfair and racist portions of our outdated Constitution, pardoning everyone with a (D) after their name (including myself), and resigning immediately to take up residence in a safer location more friendly to my moral and political convictions. And I thank Syria for the offer of asylum."
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
