Big Changes Ahead?

With Bush on his way out and Obama on his way in, it's pretty evident that there are going to be some big changes. 

This past weekend, the economic world leaders met in Washington to discuss the emerging world-wide recession. Without really knowing what the details are, the meeting ended up with the leaders vowing to cooperate to improve the world-wide economy.

What "vowing to cooperate" means, I really don't know. Were they not cooperating before? Was Europe or Asia doing something to drive down the American economy? Last time I checked, all 3 continents were in economic trouble. 

With Bush being a lame duck president, I have to think that president elect Obama will also cooperate with whatever was talked about during the meetings.

For whatever reason, it just does not seem on coincidence that the economy has been doing this poorly right before the election. America has had 7 and 1/2 years of George W. Bush and then all of the sudden we've been bombarded in the media about how bad the economy is.

When Barack Obama won the election, there was support world-wide. Many called him a, "global president" in hopes that Obama will unite the world, bring peace and stability. 

Could there be drastic changes with Obama? After all, his slogan during the election was, "We can Change."

There are some who are speculating that the American dollar is in such bad shape and will be replaced.

Unbelievable? Unimaginable? Impossible? Take a gander across the Atlantic and look at Europe. The countries that make up the European Union abandoned their currencies for the Euro in which was supposed to make a stronger, more stable economy. 

Could this happen to America? Is this the answer to bringing up or economy? Will this country sell out it's sovereignty and make alliances and unions with other countries?

I'm not making prophecies or predictions, but this country is ready to follow a new leader and is ripe for being capable of making a drastic change. A lot of people in this country seem to believe that Obama is the answer and will follow his lead. 

We'll see what happens next.
