All the trains will be on time, there will be enough space for everyone to sit and nobody will have to stand on the tube anymore.

In January 20, 2009, the very first Black President of the United States would be in office. It would be in the headlines.

you know why and so do I. If one didn't know this was going to go around then one didn't understand what is going on. Today there was protest out in force in France. This is having a baring on everyone. Cars are made around the world. Then the suppliers are all over the world. Where I live in the condo complex has half of the 172 homes in foreclose. this means half the money to run this place. Which means our bills are being paid late and not all the money . We have never been in this position before here. We can't afford to take care of a problem that may crop up. They are not opening the pool this year to save money. Not cutting lawn once a week. Not turning on the outside water, and the sprinklers. Cutting back on maintenance to four days a week and it goes on.

My hope (politically) is that the diversity we will see in the White House will result in a less rigid relationships with foreign countries and we make more strides to gaining respect and trust from them.



Economically, I hope to see the US people as a whole become better money managers and take control of their futures financially. We will see less bailout requests, more jobs created and yes:less debt.



Socially: I hope it is a record LOW for murders, homicides and all other debauchery.



I kinda hope to see this every year, but this time especially!

I am just scared that Barack Obama might have lots of attempts on his life, because there are a lot of prejudiced people out there.
