Change and Challenge


With the inauguration of President Barack Obama taking place recently, I thought it timely to make a few predictions related to his presidency.



The incoming president, whose eloquent and passionate oratory on the potentials of America and Americans, has lifted the hopes of many people not only in the US, but also world-wide. Even pre-eminent political observer Montell Williams agrees, stating: "this has already been one of the most influential Presidents of all-time, giving Americans hope and touting the common cause of all persons, regardless of economic standing or other divisions. These coins deliver a stunning picture of the President Elect complete with authentic gold plating."


Obama, the man whose charm, delivery and intellectual prowess have propelled him into the most powerful chair in the world will undoubtedly face many very tough decisions within his time as Commander in Chief.



Here are my predictions:



  • By May 1st, the Dow Jones Industrial Avg. will be below 6500 points with oil prices hovering around $25/barrel $US

  • A major military provocation or skirmish by a foreign power (likely Russia) will occur in early 2010 when Eastern Europe deepens defence integration with the US

  • Within 4 months of US departure from Iraq, Iran will control the majority of the country by proxy and Iraq will spend the next 5 or so years in a civil war




No pressure though, Barack..
