You Wanted 'Hopeychange'? You Got It, Suckers!

Like some Ghost of Christmas Future, Claudia Rosett predicts what lies ahead for an Obamacized America:

On the current course, the American superpower will have its own citizens staggering under rising taxes and regulatory overload, and burdened with crushing debt. The U.S. will be depending on Russia to ferry American astronauts into space, terrorists will be holding forth in U.S. courts, and Iran will have the bomb.

Can't hardly wait. On the plus side, the 'Obama effect' is really sprucing up America's Dubya-tarnished image.
