I can't tell what anyone is going to do before they do it.
I also can't believe that Obama is going to spend his entire presidency 
trying to undo all the things you just mentioned. He will have his own 
agendas, certainly, but he will follow his party and his party (and 
sponsors) goals and direction. I wouldn't be surprised if he does start 
a war. Or if not a war, another occupancy.

I mean.

People don't want to become president to fix problems, be kind to the 
poor and bring peace to the world. It never happens. All that happens is 
it gets worse and then the next twat on the other side gets in by 
default and makes it seem better, but ultimately worse than before.
This stretches beyond my living memory.

People want to become president to live up to slurred dreams, emulate 
the lies spun of dead heroes, wield ultimate power and/or make obscene 
personal monetary and social gains.

What is the point of becoming the president (or prime minister) if all 
you do is fill out forms and talk endlessly about doing good to the rest 
of the power rich leaders of the world? You'll just get walked all over 
till the next one comes to power.

The US has massive military might, the Commander and Chief has every 
right to play with his toys and fiddle with your lives. Just like the 
last guy did.

> so yea, more of the same.

Hey. He ain't done squat yet, except maybe inject a bit of hope into the 
markets and people of the world. Hope is a very short lived emotion.
