A couple of observations: the Labour party in the UK has pursued a radical left wing agenda while being protected by the media which has portrayed it as centrist and "reformed". As a result the country is now economically screwed, with colossal levels of taxation and debt - and that's before we head into the recession.
Secondly, your biggest fear should not be that Obama will oversee a train wreck of a goverment and harm the USA, no your biggest fear should be that he won't be too bad and WINS A SECOND TERM. If you follow us, what happens is "death by increments" - outright Marxism is out of fashion, but a little tax increase here, an extra regulation there, another "human right" over there....and pretty soon the goverment builds a colossal client state of dependent voters. Be afraid, be very afraid.
This is the scariest of all possibilities.
I did a post on this last night laying it out

A huge civil war ensued within the british conservatives as the old guard refused to stand aside for the younger genration, it took 10 years to get them to relinquish the party and Blair has gone on to be one of the most hated people in Britain. We cannot afford the old guard to hold the new young republicans back.
A Warning To America From South Africa
Excerpt
Writing letters to the press, manning stands at county fairs, hosting fund-raising dinners, attending rallies, setting up conferences, writing your Congressman - that is what you know, and what you are comfortable with. Those are the political methods you've created for yourselves to keep your country on track and to ensure political accountability.
But woe to you if - or more likely, when - the rules change. White Americans may soon find themselves unable or unwilling to stand up to challenge the new political methods that will be the inevitable result of the ethnic metamorphosis now taking place in America. Unable to cope with the new rules of the game - violence, mob riots, intimidation through accusations of racism, demands for proportionality based on racial numbers, and all the other social and political weapons used by the have-nots to bludgeon treasure and power from the haves - Americans, like others before them, will no doubt cave in. They will compromise away their independence and ultimately their way of life.
That is exactly what happened in South Africa. I know, because I was there and I saw it happen.
Has anyone heard when Obama is going to attend his grandma’s funeral?
So so true this in Quebec Canada land of Marx and eggels is what it is. If you truely want to see incremental socialism lite in action take a looka t Quebec . Pretty scary stuff.
It is just based on a raging hatred of the US, and tinged with envy.
But don't believe me. Just read the Readers' Comments on the Daily Mail and the Telegraph for a month. Any month. Why, their media hates the US almost as much as OURS does!
Tony Blair? Chance would be a fine thing.
I'm thinking of Pierre Trudeau or David Lange
some vindication ...I’ve been saying that the greatest risk from Obama is not that he is an utter failure, but that he is not. That was my last post 1 or 2 days ago, and I fear that is what will happen. It would make the takeover complete. Too many people here think in totally linear terms, when things are actually obtuse in nature.
That's a truthful mouthful.
