My answers
1. a)Higher Taxes
2. c) Similar levels unemployed
3. a) More Dollars to £ (think its actually about 15cents lower than it should be and will level out)
4. a) Higher Crime Rate, think more poverty will cause that as population increases.
5. b) Think they'll be out at some stage but 18 months is too ambitious.
6. d) Can't see the situation changing for both the US or UK could even be an increase.
7. b) Significant decrease although 80% not attainable
8. e) Think he'll make efforts but find its a bottomless pit.

I really hope Obama surprises us and he is the change America so badly needs. Unfortunatly people will want to see changes immediatly and the present mess will take a while to even begin to deal with :o/

Honestly, I don't mind paying higher taxes if some of that problems that the U.S. now faces are mitigated. I am optimistic about the chances that an Obama presidency will result in progress in dealing with the environment, infrastructure, and health care system in the U.S. I'm most concerned with Obama's ability to deal with threats from other countries. I hope and expect that he will get wise counsel with this.
