APRES MOI LE DELUGE

I'll make a couple of predictions. Barak Obama will win the election. That's an easy one. Only a major national security meltdown can stop him now.

Here's prediction two. After the election expect a big Obama backlash. Remember the Clinton-haters who accused the president of everything from being drug dealer to a serial killer? I'm talking about a wave of Obama-hate that will make last century's Clinton-hate look like a birthday party.

A lot of it will come from Republicans who will throw a tantrum because they won't be able to accept losing the power. And they won't blame George Bush; they'll blame Obama. The rest will come from rednecks and bigots who won't be able to stand seeing a black man in the White House. It's already begun. Obama has been denounced from blogs and podiums as a "socialist," "communist," "un-American," "traitor," "terrorist" and worse.

And the hate will spill over. A lot of it will be directed at feminists, immigrants, gays, the "liberal-elite media" and of course African-Americans.

Expect also a rise in the power and memberhip of white supremacist groups. Tighten your safety harness, this ride is about to get real interesting.
