#3  The "GREAT GAME OF GEOPOLITICS" = SUBSTITUTION OF NATIONS/POWER, etc. isn't going to end becuz of the 2008 POTUS Elex, no matter whom won.
In reality, Barack will have to work harder than before to show that a AFRICAN-AMER = ETHNIC MINORITY IS JUST AS GOOD OR COMPETENT A LEADER FOR AMER, OR BETTER, THAN NON-BLACK/MINORITY PERSONAGES. and inclusive of ANY PUBLIC-PRIVATE CONTROVERSY(S) WHICH MAY MANIFEST.

THERE WILL BE THOSE ELEMENTS, FOREIGN STATES + PERSONAGES, WHOM WILL EXPLOIT AND USE OBAMA'S RACE + HISTORICAL RACIAL/ETHNIC STEREOTYPES AGZ HIM + USA, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

Lest we fergit, POLITICAL SAYING > "WHAT DOES TRUTH/HONESTY HAVE TO DO WITH POLITICS OR POWER", correct!?

The true test for any Leader is notsomuch formally becoming a Leader, but when serious chaos-probs erupts + His Vision for the good/beenfit of Everyone = the Nation.

POTUS OBAMA ADMIN >
* NUCLEAR IRAN + ISLAMISM
* ISLAMIST-LED DESTABILZ = BREAKUP? OF ASIA MAP [Year 2015-2020]; PROTO-NUCLEAR ISLAMIST ASIA???
* PAN-ASIA TOLERANCE OF US-WESTERN MIL PRESENCE VEE WOT AGZ ABOVE.
* RUSSIA RESURGENT
* CHINA ASCENDING > Chin scholars are advising Beijing that, to best protect the CHINA SEAS, Chin must stop being ISOLATIONIST + EXPAND ITS MIL + GEOPOL REACH AMAP AFAP [Chin-centric power projection beyond East Asia and littorals]
* GLOBAL ECONOMIC TROUBLES, NOT MERELY NATIONAL OR REGIONAL.

* JIMMY CARTER > became POTUS as the ANTI-NIXON, the "NEW HOPE FOR AMERICA" after WATERGATE + VIETNAM WAR = FALL OF SAIGON. Instead, Amer got the Iranian Hostage Crisis + Soviet-Commie, etc. expansion all over SE Asia + Americas at the expense of Amer national + geopol credibility. POTUS CARTER's BIGGEST PROTAGONISTS AGZ HIS ADMIN + AMERICA PROVED TO BE HIS OWN FELLOW DEMOCRATS + INTERNATIONAL LEFTS.

Hopefully for Barack, "I AM BLACK, I AM WOMAN, I AM A BRAIN, AND I WILL ROAR" SUPER-LEFTY MICHELLE as First Lady-elect will know how to unsheath her lecture finger where it counts.

#2  I'm still thinking the upcoming Israel-Iran confrontation. Something wicked this way comes.

#1  I'll have to cut Biden some slack on this one. He clearly said six months, not six hours. It's still pretty troubling in any account, though.
