Where do you think Obama will take the nation now? In terms of economics or national safety or our relationship with other nations, where do you think we are going?
The best indicator is his previous performance. President Obama will continue to work for bigger government. He'll work for more entitlements, government subsidies, and government reliance. Spending will either continue to be at epic levels, or it will improve slightly because of increased pressure from the public.
Other nations will begin to look at other nations and the United Nations for greater leadership roles, as America has had somewhat of a hands-off approach in the last four years.
Generally, we'll continue in the same trajectory, perhaps at a slower rate. Our country's economy will slowly improve. Our debt will rapidly increase. Our global influence will slowly decrease as our economic influence becomes more and more muted by China's, and our military influence diminishes amidst a lack of foreign policy.
Aside from the economy, in what ways do you think the nation will improve?
Do you think that the economy, health and education will improve?

I was thinking about this from a historian's perspective (I have an M.A. in History). My first caveat about this question is that, as a historian, I think it's misguided to try to evaluate president's while they're still in their presidency. It takes perspective and time to provide a proper...

Staying at a 20 million dollar mansion while many Americans struggle to pay their mortgage, buy food and clothing and pay bills, the president once again, proves he is all about him and the rest of us can go to hell in a handbasket.Our 401k's take another beating, but he could care less since he...
