The Real End Game, We’re Coming To The End
“We’re coming to the end of government’s ability to borrow money to fund current spending that’s beyond the growth of their economy. … So governments are going to have to live within their means. Not just in European countries, not just in Britain, not just in Japan which has its own problems that will be coming to us next year, not just in France which will be the headline in 2 years, but also in the US.” – John Mauldin at King World News

Obama predicts he will lose
In one of his few honest moments Obama said if the economy didn’t improve his presidency would be “a one term proposition.” Now as the economy slides he desperately blames Bush (still), Europe, headwinds, and Republicans.
