We all know that Barack Obama already won the election.We all know George W Bush will leaving White House mid January next year,and we all know American will have the first black president.But,after there's so much hype and hearsay about Obama,I think it's the right time we should discuss what the future that might be after January 20th,2009.
Either you from Calgary,Canada,to Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia,or even in Alego,Kenya,or in Grant Park,Chicago,we all anticipate to see what "the change" that Obama promises to us,can be fulfilled in the next 4 years.
His economy programs and taxation seems--want to punish the rich.Too many far left act.Is he a socialist?Obama Socialism?Some accusing Obama as a socialist-which he approves some of far-left act,like education reform,progressive tax and he mentioned a lot about greedy capitalism in his speech,but he's not the only one who runs American government next 4 years.Most of his speech however,does create awe to those who involved in capitalism in America.Dow Jones declined last Thursday,because investor are afraid with his "close door" policy.
I'm pretty sure in his speech,there's not much of saying about his foreign policy.What we have been heard from him is,"to talk with Chavez,Castro brothers,Evo Morales and Rafael Correa of Ecuador".Those leaders were socialist leaders in Latin America.And unlike McCain,he is even willingly to talk with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,Iranian stern president.
We already saw Iceland,which almost bankrupt of it's banking policy,loans Russia bulk of money for solving Iceland economic crisis.Dmitry Medvedev,the apprentice of Vladimir Putin,is already asking Duma(Russian parliament) for adding 2 more years for his term,that means 6 years in 1 term,and I viewed it as "the extension of new Soviet after Yeltsin died".
With emerging of Latin America socialist country,and Russia,I'm afraid "the evil empire strikes back"--according from Ronald Reagan remarks of communism "evil empire",and I afraid Big Government will all over the Earth after Obama reigns.
Returning to that theme on May 18, 2008, Obama told a crowd in Pendleton, Oregon that "strong countries and strong presidents talk to their adversaries. That’s what Reagan did with Gorbachev." He continued, "Iran, Cuba, Venezuela — these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don’t pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying, 'We’re going to wipe you off the planet.'
Another Oslo Peace Plan?Another Camp David plan?Israel and Palestinian conflict.I'm pretty sure there's no change about policy of new administration of Barack Obama about Israel and Palestinian conflict.Besides,Obama already stressed out his point that Jerusalem or Baitulmuqadis will not being split into two-Jew and Arab sector,according with Hamas ideas to end the conflict.Israel will remain as a part of American allies,but what we really hope from Obama administration,is a peace talk,like Bill Clinton does in Camp David,gather both Israel and Palestine leaders and talk.Unlike n
eo conservative who always DOMINATING rather than TALKING,neo liberal represents more talks and less action.So,let's hope Tzipi Livni of Israeli Kadima Party will slow down the aggression towards Palestine,although it's hard to imagine it.Hamas should stop the attack so Israel will less aggressive with Palestinians.
Wind is the new wealth?So does sunshine?Energy policyIn his speech,he mentioned about cutting more of carbon emission in 80 percent from now when reaching 2050,and and trying to reduce 35 percent of oil consumptions in 2030 from now,and encourage for more alternative energy resources,while opposing nuclear power.Opposing Arctic Wildlife Refuge in Alaska,it means-less oil,more windmills and solar energy.
Health careHe mentioned a lot about universal health care,in his views,universal health care will represents public will receive health care,regardless race or status--it's socialism.It's obvious that Obama is a socialist.So by doing this,the strata status in America will reduced,and it will creating--classless society in health care system.
Nami the Red Star Socialist will love this.
Economy crisis solving method.During Franklin Delano Roosevelt era,he proposed "New Deal" social welfare,the goal to relief,and giving jobs for jobless,we will see Obama will only focus America inner economy rather than outside.Close door policy-and government more control in money supply and investment,it's as close as socialism.While Obama will hefty taxing those who earns $250,000 annually,from flat tax proposed by George W Bush,to the hefty tax,and will of course,creating Robin Hood effect by "distribution of wealth" in Obama administration.Targeted at the middle class in America,Obama has proposed a tax plan which includes tax credits to lower the amount of taxes paid. It is argued that the typical middle class family would receive over $1,000 in tax relief, with tax payments that are 20% lower than they faced under President Reagan. According to the Tax Policy Center, the Obama plan provides three times as much tax relief for middle class families as the McCain plan.
Gun control.As a state legislator in Illinois, Obama supported banning the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic firearms, increasing state restrictions on the purchase and possession of firearms and requiring manufacturers to provide child-safety locks with firearms.
As state senator, he voted against a 2004 measure that allowed self-defense as an affirmative defense for those charged with violating local laws making it otherwise unlawful for such persons to possess firearms.He also voted against allowing persons who had obtained domestic violence protective orders to carry handguns for their protection.
Obama initially voiced support of Washington DC's handgun ban. Following the Supreme Court decision that the ban was unconstitutional, he revised his position in support of the decision overturning the law, saying, "Today's decision reinforces that if we act responsibly, we can both protect the constitutional right to bear arms and keep our communities and our children safe."He also said, in response to the ruling, "I have always believed that the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to bear arms.The Supreme Court has now endorsed that view."
Conclusion.
We will seeing less American action outside it's boundary,we will see troops go out in Iraq in 2010,the oil consumption goes down,and of course-Exxon Mobil and Shell will restrict it's businesses.We also will see the emergence of new power of Asia-China and India,slowly surpasses America day by day.American capitalism will decline,guys,love it or hate it,say hello to new superpower--Chindia(China+India).
Also say hello to Latin American socialism--the Bolivar countries.And say goodbye to neo-conservative Bush doctrine era.
European Union will be much powerful than previous 8 years ago,Stephen Harper of Canada will definitely lost in the next election,and Malaysia will remains under Barisan Nasional--if it's people will remain chatting at coffee shops talking rots,and bunch of "white kopiah" mullah of green and white moon still controls the opposition.
Get ready for new point of view in politics.
