Our Man had so much fun gazing into his crystal balls the last time, he's given them another rub. Here are his predictions for the Obama administration. Check back in four years and be amazed at how right he was (
normal Nostrodamusuvian rules apply). Ahh, he's getting something now...
- The Obama-love-fest will end when Mercury enters Uranus (or the Congressional elections in 2010, whichever comes first.
- The lefty intelligentsia will slag Obama (correctly) for being way too centrist, but nobody will pay them the slightest bit of attention, because:
- Multi-millionaire media moguls will say he has turned the land of the free into the United Soviet Socialist States of America.
- Bi-partisanship won't actually work all that well.
- He'll get into a foreign policy adventure that will end badly.
- He'll be brought down in "Air Force One Duty-Free-Gate".
- America will run out of gas and we'll all be reliant on Chinese dumplings for fuel.
- Obama will do just enough to make the world safe again for the laissez faire mob to mess it all up. Jeb Bush 2012 anyone?

Did indeed miss it. Nice link, shall add the chaps (and chapettes) to Our Man's reading list forthwith. Not sure about Stalin coming back into vogue, but then Our Man was never a dedicated follower of fashion.
'Multi-millionaire media moguls will say he has turned the land of the free into the United Soviet Socialist States of America.'
followers of Austrian economics might artgue that Dubya has already done it.
True enough. Mind you, it's always been open to question how much of a free market the US has ever operated.
