America's Changes to be Happening Faster - Too Bad Too Few Realize It is Not For The Better

The USA has people ready to continue the 'fundamental change' Candidate Obama promised and is now moving 'forward' to effectuate. Slightly more than half of the country bought into it –now they have to live with it – for a while.

What will be changing, not that anyone in Indonesia will really care about such things, is the economy of America will continue to depreciate, only now at a much faster rate. When the wealth that once was America's engine to a robust economy no longer has the resources to move the markets of the world and even less to share with the lesser fortunate, we'll see how that works for the rest of the world.

As the enemies of America continue to push the envelope to subject and subdue lesser stable places in the world like the interior of Africa and the United Nations looks to America to provide resources, not nearly as much will be available – you'll have to check with the Chinese or Russians – they'll be your friends now.

And when the next world war raises its ugly head to sweep unsuspecting nations into the next dark ages, America is not going to be there to wrestle against the forces of evil, but more than likely will be forced to take sides it normally would never have engaged.

Yes, world, many of you got your desires to see America in a different light; but without the energy it once had, it will be quite hard to see it across the sea; there are not even shuttles anymore that could capture the scene from space, yet another casualty of the loss of American exceptionalism. Who is really thinking or caring about how America is no longer what it once was? We'll get that chance to find out soon enough.
