As a subjective outsider i am worried for what the future holds, primarily because America is essentially the foundation of world economics & business. If America falls then the knock on effect is, quite simply, that we're all in trouble:
NOSTRADAMUS: Century 8, Quatrain 28
The copies of gold & silver inflated,
which after the theft were thrown into the lake
at the discovery that all is exhausted & dissipated by debt.
All scrips and bonds will be wiped out
Without the apparent stability of a true world leader & superpower it will be a free for all, my great concern being that communist rule will spread & a Chinese / North Korean alliance will effectively dominate the known world (the 3rd Antichrist is purported to be "yellow").
This can't all be blamed on Obama, afterall he was voted into office by free choice. What you have to think is this: how would things be different had another candidate made it into office considering Obama was considered "the safe bet"? You have your novelty "black" president and to be fair, are things really any different than you believed they would be?
Until America can get a decent presidential candidate to stand against him then he's the man with all of the power - and things will only continue to worsen.
