The election is over and we are in the pre-inaugural period when agendas are set and people selected to "rule" the country and "run" the economy. President-elect Obama will have a first hundred days that will be historic and hopefully unproductive. With the liberal egos that will feel the need to be heard, ie, Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Reid, Mr. Schumer, Mr. Murfa, Ms. Clinton......and last but not least, that lion of a liberal...Teddy "Captain Chappaquiddick" Kennedy.
Since Ms. Clinton's presidential election aspirations have gone into the proverbial toilet with this election, she can either help him become a one term president, or find a way to impeach him through congressional oversight, all in the name of bipartisanship, of course; ala Howard Baker of Watergate fame. Several options seem open, campaign finance shenanigans, foreign money contributions, Joe the Plumber investigations, Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac investigations, ects...the list almost is endless.
The things that I see that will really trip up the new President-elect will be tax policy and social policies. The extreme left will want a big say in a lot of risky radical socialists schemes that they will be very eager to impose on the rest of us, and Democrats will want a lot of money to fund their pet social engineering projects, ie Teddy "Captain Chappaquiddick" Kennedy's national health care scheme.
They will certainly overreach and the 2010 elections will be right around the corner. The smart Republicans will start to say, "have you had enough change yet?" to be followed by, "do you hope it will end soon?"
