I don't think civil unrest will come because of any of these Obama citizenship questions. I find myself in agreement with Rob Sanchez, who is watching the unemployment rate. His latest newsletter has this:Quote:
John Nichols, a correspondent for "The Nation", did a very thought provoking video about unemployment and what it means for the Obama administration. Nichols warns that if the unemployment rate continues to rise past 13% or 14% it will be the ONLY issue for Obama. He never mentioned specific legislation such as "Cap and Trade", health care, and immigration, but if he is right and if our population continues to lose jobs, we can expect those proposals to become mere side issues -- and that's without mentioning that we are still in at least 2 wars!

I have often predicted that when the unemployment rate reaches 25% there will be massive civil unrest that will lead to riots and violence. I base the prediction on the history of the Great Depression and the Panic of 1873. During those tough economic times unemployment rose to the 25% level
-- and violence flared throughout the nation.
I'm just grateful that society seems to understand that unemployment is a problem this time around: in the 2001 dot com bust there seemed to be a lot of apathy as to the fate of the laid off workers. Watch for the Durbin bill restricting guestworkers to gain traction due to this issue. Note too that Obama has quietly backed away from his rhetoric about a temporary guestworker increase, in spite of the Indian-Americans he appointed to high posts. But I don't think any upheavals will be about race or socialism.Quote:
