NO! If you are a regular reader of this blog, you already know that I made certain predictions, all of which have proved accurate so far.
Prediction #1: The stock market would continue to have losses through the election, due to the economic threat of an Obama presidency
Prediction #2: After the election, if Obama wins, the market would take additional serious hits immediately, before smoothing out
Prediction #3: Obama would lead from a very far left position, not from the center as his supporters believe
The first has already come to pass. The second has also come to pass, with nearly a 500 point drop yesterday, and today it is already hovering at a near 400 point drop.
As for the third prediction, it may be too early to be certain, but considering Obama's very first appointment - Rahm Emmanuel as Chief of Staff - bodes badly for any hope of a centrist government. Rahm is famous for being the farthest left of any known politician today, and is another Chicago politician. Making him #3 in the White House indicates Obama has no intention of being a centrist.
Obama owes a lot to the very far left. That is where most of his funding and base support came from. He cannot afford to turn on them, and govern from the center. Yet, if he governs from the far left, he will very quickly lose favor among the folks, the majority of whom still tend to be just right of center.
This is why I believe that my next prediction will also ring true: Obama will only serve one term. In 2012, if the republicans have finally managed to cobble together a conservative center-right platform, they will sweep everything. If they do not, then I think 2012 will be a mixed bag that will not serve anyone very well, but in either case, Obama will be going home in four years - not because he is a "bad" president, but because no matter what he does, he is going to anger and alienate a very large portion of those who swept him in earlier this week.
And another prediction: Governor Palin will run for Presidsent in 2012, and IF the Republican party actually gets around to cobbling together a real platform, she will win handily. The only real faults anyone could make stick on her is her lack of experience in national or international affairs (though she had more than Obama). So my final prediction for today: Palin will spend the next 2-3 years building that weakness into a strength. She is a quick study, and she WILL be ready in 2012. With a vengeance!
As a side note, mostly for AOL users, AOL has been incredibly deceptive lately. Just two examples of blatant, harmful deception:
1) Just two days before the election they posted a "news story" about Nostradamus predicting a "McCain win", stating that Quatrain 78 of Century X called McCain the "feeble kept one", and calling Palin the "imbecile Queen". As AOL already knew, there is no such quatrain with such statements. AOL knew it was a bogus story because the real quatrain is published on hundreds of internet sites, and has nothing to do with anything even remotely similar to what AOL was posting as a "news story". Their only purpose, of course, was to discredit McCain and Palin in the eyes of those who believe in prophecy.
2) Even though the board of inquiry ultimately exhonerated Palin of any wrongdoing just one day before the election, AOL and other liberal media WITHHELD the news until the election was nearly over. Again, the only purpose for withholding such a story would be to prevent voters from learning the truth about Troopergate before the election. The only news media to report it on the day she was exhonerated was, to their credit, Fox News' own Greta Susteren.
Anyone who pays AOL for any services would do well to consider taking their business elsewhere. It is not a good thing to subsidize dishonesty.
By the way, a recent poll produced the following about Fox News:
21% said Fox treated McCain better
21% said Fox treated Obama better
58% said it was just about equal
It just doesn't get more "fair and balanced" than that. Since success is directly proportionate to having accurate, timely information, I'll be getting my news from Fox from now on. None of the other media fared well. For example, MSNBC was rated by 78% as being pro Obama, 9% pro McCain and 13% thought they were treated equally.

Ain't It The Truth
Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6am. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG).
He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today.
After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) filled it with GAS from Saudi Arabia and continued his search for a good paying JOB . At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (Made In Malaysia), Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE ) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in AMERICA......

Disappointed
To say the election results were disappointing is something I believe to be true. But something is happening that I find far more disappointing.
As I read blogs, I see some Republicans acting the same way the Democrats acted against Bush. I find that troubling. Historically, Republicans have tended to be the more civil, and willing to give people a chance to either step up to the plate, or fail, all on their own. And I find it disgusting that Republicans say that they will never support Obama.
That is wrong. Every President should have the full support of All Americans, at least until he has proven himself unfit and unworthy.
To all fellow Republicans, I urge you to give a better shake to Obama than the Democrats ever gave to Bush. We are supposed to be better than that. If you are going to lower yourself to their standards, then you become the people you hate. We have had 8 years of "I hate the Bush Administration". Let's not have 4 years of "I hate the Obama Administration." Don't do that. Let him sink or swim. But give him the opportunity.
Support the President, whoever he or she may be. If he screws up, call him to account. But until then, he deserves the support of every American.

On The Bright Side
As of this writing, it appears the Democrats will hold all three parts of the Executive Branch - President, Senate and House. And one thing that stands out is Pennsylvania. It is difficult to understand their mentality - first, they are a big "coal mining" state, and they voted for Obama in spite of the fact that he has said he is determined to bankrupt coal-fired energy plants. And in spite of Obama's remark about PA foilks "clinging to their guns and bibles" out of anger. And they are re-electing John Murtha in spite of the fact he called his own constituents "racists and rednecks". This tells me that there are a tremendous number of people who are either uninformed, or simply do not care if people insult them. So, they will get what they deserve - leaders who do not respect them.
There are many, many folks who predict dire consequences and erosion of rights because of the liberal agenda of Pelosi, Reid and Obama. For example, we can kiss voting privacy goodbye when it comes to union voting. Unions will once again be able to intimidate both workers and businesses. And don't be surprised if they pass laws that will increase the ease of voter fraud, like their previous "motor voter" law.
And many believe that the Democratic response to the recession will likely cause a depression if they follow through on their agenda of heavier taxes on the very people responsible for creating jobs and income, and producr the GNP that determines economic health.
That said....
There is a silver lining of sorts. For eight years, the Democrats blamed "the Bush administration" for everything, including natural disasters. But from here on in, for the next four years, whatever goes wrong can and will be laid at the door of Obama, Pelosi and Reid.
Of course, the Democrats will still try to blame the Republicans for anything that goes wrong, but MOST of the people are not so naive and gullible as to believe it. So, in 2012, a political revolution like the ones that swept the nation after every other "full Democratic control" will occur, and Palin will be swept into the White House, and the House and Senate will again fall to Republicans.
Why? Right now, the country is angry at Republicans, not because Republicans are worse than Democrats, but because George W Bush earned their ire. Their anger at a few maladjusted Republicans has caused an anger at the party, in general. But as they come to
realize over the next four years that the Democrats are just as bad, or even worse, the American people will look in retrospect (hindsight is always clearer) at the GOP and realize their anger at the entire party was misplaced. They will choose solid, fiscally responsible conservative Republicans to fill the offices that will be vacated when the people dump the current batch of n'er-do-wells in office.
So, the short take: the Democrats can no longer "dodge the bullet" or shift the blame onto Republicans - at least, not successfully. They are in control. They will be held accountable. And because of their liberal agenda, they won't be able to contain or control themselves. And that will result in a Reaganesque landslide for Republicans in 2012.
The key, of course, is for the GOP to get rid of the idiots in charge of the RNC and replace them with competent Republicans that are actually Republicans, and to seek out, and put up for election, only those conservatives that have good moral values, strong family values and have a record of fiscal responsibility. Lately, way too many "Republicans" have been acting like liberal Democrats. This has separated them from their base, and that is why they are losing.
If the GOP has an ounce of common sense, they will heed Gingrich and adopt the platform his organization has provided at http://www.americansolutions.com/. If they do that, they will sweep in 2012. If they do NOT do that, they will likely lose again.
EVERY conservative reading this should first visit American Solutions, check out the platform, and if you agree with the majority of it, you must contact the RNC and tell them, point blank that they need to choose, and adhere to that platform, and to start RIGHT NOW seeking out good prospects for the next House and Senate races. And those prospects must sign on to that platform, or the RNC will not support them. Period.
If enough folks bombard the RNC, they will be forced to return to the principles that made the GOP the Grand Old Party in the first place.
I will make a prediction right here, today. You can hold me to it. Over the next four years, the Democrats will anger the folks. They will make the Bush Administration look acceptable in comparison. And if the GOP puts forth the right candidates, they will sweep in 2012. Gingrich did it in '94. With his help, the GOP can do it again.
If you are a conservative, and you do not stand to be counted, then you will have no one but yourself to blame when America loses the values it was built upon. More Socialism and a Big Brother "nanny state" will be your reward if you fail to do your part.

They will stop at nothing...
Even at this late stage, the far-left loonies are STILL using smear tactics against McCain and Palin - and this one takes the cake!
The following "news" story was run by AOL: "Nostradamus Predicts McCain Win". The story goes on to say that Quatrain 78 of Century X goes like this:
"At the war’s end:
The Feeble Kept One will strike down the Night
And his Imbecile Queen will rise from the snow
Bedecked in finery and the pelt of a wolf."
According to them, The Feeble one is McCain, the "night" is Obama, and the "imbecile Queen" is Palin.
This is such utterly moronic. Even if it weren’t a stretch to interpret it that way, that isn’t even the REAL text of Quatrain 78, Century X. That real text reads:
"Sudden joy to sudden sadness
It will occur at Rome for the graces embraced
Grief, cries, tears, weeping, blood, excellent mirth
Contrary bands surprised & trussed up. "
I don't think there is a single word that is correct in the AOL "quatrain". It is completely bogus, and proves the left-wing slant of AOL and the media. And their only purpose for pushing this "story" is a last-minute smear attack.
By stooping to this level, the last thing liberals should ever have is control of this nation. Surely, the right has also thrown out some crap on Obama, but not this level of smearing. This is right there at the bottom with those on the left who claimed Palin's baby was actually her daughter's, and claims that McCain was a communist sympathizer in Viet Nam. It just doesn't get any more vile.
As bad as the Republicans sometimes are, I am glad that I am not associated with a party that gets THIS low.

And They Say It Ain't So...
Conservatives say that liberals around the world have chosen Obama as the next Messiah. The Democrats say that is ridiculous.
I guess the Democrats have not seen what is going on. For example, Louis Farrakahn, speaking in front of his Nation of Islam group did, indeed, refer to Obama as "The Messiah". And in Spain (the country that chose to desert us in the War on Terror), a portrait of Obama has appeared. But it is not an ordinary portrait - the Democratic presidential candidate is shown in a sand sculpture on a beach in Barcelona, Spain. The portrait is 140 yards long by 80 yards wide. and can be seen from the space station. It was created with 500 tons of sand, gravel and white, brown and black pebbles. It cost more than $13,000.
This sort of idolization is not unusual in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Has anyone read Revelations lately?
