We Don’t Need No Steenking Predictions . . .

by Little Miss Attila on December 31, 2009

But if the cool kids are doing it, I’ll try:

1) The Democrats will continue their Bataan march toward a passable healthcare bill, and will duly lose the house next year because of it. No public option, no Federal funding of abortion either–or it doesn’t get through reconciliation. But we won’t be in a position to repeal this not-completely defanged monster until we take the Senate as well, and that probably won’t occur until 2012 (when we’ll also have the Presidency, in all likelihood).

2) Hillary will find a way to leave the Obama Administration, probably over some trumped-up issue that will gain her some distance from the White House. She and Sarah Palin will continue flirting with the idea of running in 2012, but in Palin’s case she’ll be dealing with the curse/blessing of…

3) Dick Cheney’s completed book—which will make Liz Cheney much more available for political office, and political life in general, more interesting. (I think Liz should run–perhaps with Sarah. Though the talent pool is about to drastically open up.)

4) There will be more terror attacks on American soil;

5) Iran will complete a nuclear device;

6) Americans will notice those two things, and start doing a slow burn. Obama will keep trying to “pivot,” but it will largely be “too little, too late.”

7) Andrew Breitbart will achieve world domination;

8 ) Michelle Obama will have a “come to Jesus” discussion with her fashion advisors;

9) We will not gain much ground in the “necessary” war, Afghanistan. But Iraq will continue to be an embarrassing success.

10) Barack Obama will continue to be an embarrassing failure, and people like me will stop longing for the days of Bill Clinton, and begin missing . . . Jimmy Carter.

Missing him bad.

No democrat seat will be lost in the House or Senate. If the democrats have to remove their and replace him/her with a new person who can win they will. They will then stack the ballot box to ensure victory. See New Jersey.
