Obama will risk Nuclear war with Pakistan within 8 months of becoming President.

Obama will be shot twice but survive, impoving his "street cred"

Iraq will go to Hell.

The US will be a cooler place to live than Europe.

US Billionaires will all move to Europe after President Biden imposes flat tax of 50%

Hello,
I'm appalled: Ingorance (lack of knowledge) runs rampant here! While tongues wag uncontrioleed.

1. Obama, as President (if he becomes President), cannot indict anyone!
2. Obama, or any President, cannot cut Federal Defense spending. Only Congress has that power, subject to Presidential signature or, in the event of a veto, an override vote.
3. Again, the President cannot increase the military payroll. Only the House of Representatives can initiate spenging bills.
4. Congress oversees the military induction system that is used by the Dept. of Defense (DOD) which tells the Army what to do and how to do it,
5. The US military cannot operate with US borders. Only the National Guard patrols the Mexican border to supplement the Border Patrol. The Nat'l Guard is under the jurisdiction of the respective State's Governor.
5. A statement regarding Nuclear War with Pakistan is beyond stupid - it is exponentially absurd and does not warrant a further reponse.
6. The rest belongs in the category ansered by #5 above...
