The pessimistic scenario.

It has been a couple of months after the Election Day in United States. The first excitement of McCain supporters who celebrated his election went somehow down at this point. Slowly, but surely people were going back to their normal lives. Who would dare to say back in November that it all would be over so fast? Nobody. Back in those days no political expert was able to predict which way the American history would now turn. Nevertheless, time passed, and the month of November 2008 went into history.
What could happen during that month is difficult to imaging. At some point, the country stood on the edge of the revolution. Especially, when officials proclaimed that their first announcement was wrong, and the winning candidate is the one from the Republican Party. Thousands of Obama supporters went on the streets to protest against, what they called the unfair elections. The streets of Washington DC were filled with people ready to, “fight for their rights”. At some cities these protests were turned into turmoil. People protested for several days trying to make government hear their voices. Nothing happened. The government insisted on the announced results of elections even though, they were clearly doubtful. The protests were growing day after day and went to the point, when the country was almost divided into two enemy groups – those who were marching against and those who were marching in support. The confrontation seemed endless. The results of that confrontation were devastating for country’s economy. Finally, it all was over. Besides the fact that the new president had to increase his security during his visits to different States, to ensure his safety from the grudge and mistrust among the good half of his own citizens, the four years of his administration were granted.
It has been several month after the Election Day. The country’s economy continues to go down. The war in Iraq and Afghanistan became the second issue, because everyone is talking about the war with Iran. China and Russia became allies in the new Cold War, after these countries were labeled “the evil empires and supporters of terrorists” by our beloved president. At this point, the last excitement of McCain supporters who celebrated his election went somehow down.

Your vision of the future is definitely something I see happening. Today's enemies are tomorrow's allies. Good job
