Whoa...how dare he ask such a question. LOL

Well what do I see coming if Obama loses........

Martial Law, riots in the street, interm camps, death squads....worst case scenerios of course.

Best case scenerios........ Prosperity, low unemployment, low taxes, smaller government, lower fuel prices, possible reversal of national debt but at least slowing of it.

Prosperity for large corporations because Mitt would cut their taxes and remove regulations. They won't hire more workers. instead they pay higher salaries for their CEOs and executives. They continue to send jobs offshore to India and China.

More H1B visa holder coming into the USA from other countries to take jobs away from Americans, because they will work for cheaper than a USA worker. More savings for the big corporations. GOP will say that US doesnt have anough math and science techies to fill these jobs. Truth is, there are enough techy workers in the US to fill these jobs, but big corporations want to bring in cheaper labor to save on wages. Romney and the GOP already said they support bringing in more visa holders to work here.

Folks that are -between 55-65 and were planning early retirement, will be forced to work untill 65 because Obamacare would be repealed and they would have to keep working in order to get access to a health insurance plan. They would have retired early and gave up their jobs to younger workers. But they cannot get health insurance if Romney appeals Obamacare. So 10 more years of work and fewer jobs for younger workers.

Removal of regulation on big businesses, because Romney gives them everything they want. Environment laws ignored and possibly a nuclear energy disaster because regulations were removed. Major fraud on wall street because Rmney removed regulation. Insurance companies deny people with preexisting conditions, resulting in and extra 10,000 American deaths each year due to lack of health care.

Dirty water and air added to the environment because clean air and water laws are some of the regulations Romney will remove. Higher cancer rates and asthma related issues for Americans fr many years into the future.

We won't be able to eat fish caught in our local waters because Romney removed regulations and chemicals are going into the lakes and rivers.

Even though new cars are getting more MPG than ever before due to regulations, these regulations will removed. Ronmey will be lobbied by the petrolium industry. The oild industry wants more gas guzzling autos in the USA, so they can sell more gas. And they lobby to drill, drill, drill. Because gas hog vehicles creates higher demand for gas and they want to sell more gas. Romney will bend over for anything they want.

Higher risk for a new war...with Iran. The GOP loves this stuff and the defense industry lobby will push for it as well. Could be more expensive than the Iraq war in American lives and money.

In other words, things won't be much different than they are now. Regardless of who wins, you're going to have a liberal living in the White House.

Default What if Obama loses?

Then we'll all get the opportunity to see if Romney will choose to serve his country or serve other masters.

And it's not like we haven't seen this movie before.

In 1968 he strongly supported the Vietnam War. But took every opportunity to avoid serving his country and instead served the masters of his mormon church.

Well if President Obama loses, I hope that Romney would live up to some of the goals that 2008 Candidate Obama stood up for, but President Obama disagrees with.

I really hope that Romney would finally start to fulfill some of these promises that Obama made, but never tried to fulfill:

-reducing the deficit in half form 2006 levels

-transparency

-getting below the 1994 earmark level

-not doing what he said was unconstitutional, acting without congress on things like Libya, Dream Act, etc

-not blaming, did you know the Republican House has passed more bills than the Democrat Senate and the Democratic Senate is blocking and refusing to even vote on them, Obama's blame game has fooled many people even the OP

-not blaming continued, Bush, Kiosks, ATMs, automation, Tsunamis, Europe Debt, etc...

-no lobbyists in WH

-ending no bid gov. contracts for over 25K

-increasing natural gas on federal land and nuclear power

-going through the budget line by line ---> just getting an actual annual budget for the first time would be a huge step for this president

-time for bills to be posted online for public debate, none of this 2,700 pages with crap being added last second and my congressman has to vote for it to know what is in it

-post racial president not one that says "the police acted stupidly"

In essence I want 2008 Candidate Obama, not the flip flopper we have in office.

The night he loses there will be riots,ya know its going to happen....course I don't expect him to lose so...either way we either get a liberal for 8 years or 4 more liberal years with Obama. I expect truthfully for Obama to declare Martial Law soon after the election...but hey its all falling into place...he is making black folks happy and scaring the hell out of white folks...soon enough the country will collapse.

If he loses, he loses. So what?

Folks act as if their whole world will end based on election results. I'll vote for Obama, and if he loses, i'll be the same damn DesertDetroiter that i've been all my life. I'll still enjoy a great meal, great jazz, fast sportscars, and great times with my family and friends. I'll still travel, i'll still go to my job, and i'll still eat, sleep, drink, breathe, and sh*t.

This nation was built to withstand the term of any chief executive. So if Romney wins, oh well. He wins. I'll be p*ssed for two seconds and then go back to my business as if nothing ever happened. If Romney does a bad job, he'll be voted out, just like Obama got voted out.

I just don't see why people get so highly emotional about politics. We've had nearly 50 presidents, and the nation is still here. It'll survive Romney, Obama, and anyone else just like it survived Roosevelt, Kennedy, Reagan, Nixon, and a host of other people.

If election results are going to put you in a deep depression, then i suggest you find a hobby. Go buy a Corvette or something and hit the road. Geez.

White folks don't have to worry. They'll be a firm minority in twenty more years and eligible for affirmative action.

They had better hope that when they do become the minority they get treated better than they treated the minorities when they were on top.
