It is almost certain that the Democrats will ride Obama's long coat tails to a resounding victory. I will be glad to see a host of Republican officials banished from the Imperial City.
The question becomes; how will Obama rule the Empire? Will he try to return America to just being one country of many; or will he try to maintain the current American Empire.
That will be the single most important question of his presidency. It will not be this small policy question or that one appointment; no, my friends, it will be on the question of if Obama can really bring change.
Not a little change. Not a different colour in the Oval Office. Not some relief on medical bills. No, my friends, it will be on re-directing the Trillions a year spent on killing back in to productive use here in this nation.
Will he do it?
