News Before it Happens
This prediction has been made by others (like Dr. John in Flopping Aces): the coming election, from the Democrat controlled media, is going to be all about race. Anything a Republican says about Obama is racist or code words for racism.
Easy call: Israel is not going back to its 1967 borders.
There is a reasonable chance there will be an attack on Israel by an Arabic coalition of some sort within the next 2 years. They know that Obama will be unable to make a fast decision to lend support to Israel.
Democrat challenges to Obama will be all but ignored by the press. Many will be marginalized. Few or no debates will be held.
Expect widespread, all-out attacks against Republicans in general, and front-runners in particular.
The Democratic party and the Obama Media Complex will try to make medicare the #1 issue of the 2012 campaign, without offering any real solutions apart from taxing the rich a little more (which is not a solution). Most media sources will not say anything about medicare being unsustainable. Of course, any criticism of Obama, as previous noted, will be called racist.
Even though seniors will we untouched by the Ryan plan, it will continue to be dishonestly demagoged as an attack against seniors. No real alternate plan will be offered up by the left. The OMC will not call Democrats on this lack of a plan.
Although newspaper reporters heads would have exploded if George Bush did what Barack Obama is doing in Libya, expect very few stories on Obama’s refusal to seek congressional approval. The stories which do appear will support the president.
Where I was Wrong
Pretty much all my predictions related to Donald Trump were wrong, for which I am eternally grateful. His biggest miscalculation was, on NBC, he is carefully edited, and does not come off badly. However, out in the real world, unedited, he comes off as being as much of an egotist as Barack Obama. I did not want another president whose favorite word is I.
Another of Trump’s great weaknesses is, he appears to have a limited core of beliefs. Most conservatives, when questioned, know where they stand, and, ideally speaking, do not have ot give a memorized answer. However, when it came to actual issues, there was no telling what Trump might do. He is obviously a hands-on, in-charge guy. As a president without a well-defined core, that can simply end up being a man who amasses more and more power, so that he can direct more and more things.

I hope I see this cartoon on this Sunday’s list.
It was on Lucianne yesterday.
It was the back of Obama’s head with a light-switch in it.
Up or down were all it could do.
One was ”give a sweet sounding speech.”
The other was ”dither when quick action is needed.”
(That’s not it exactly, but close.)
GARY KUKIS, good POST, he said it before in his book that he will side up with the
MUSLIMS, so we are not surprise of the speech that he had to mess with afterward,
commanding ISRAEL TO CHANGE IT’S BORDER.
that was the last very telling of his intent to rise the power of terrorism on the demise of ISRAEL.
