(Of course, Obama carried the popular vote, so I'm not complaining.)
Yet, regardless of the result, I don't envy the next President.
While President Bush inherited the dot-com bust of the late 1990s and soon after was hit by the 9/11 terrorist attacks, President-elect Obama will inherit something worse still: a crashing economy, bankrupt banks (I've always found that statement ironic), automobile manufacturers asking for money, a mortgage crisis, and local and state governments asking for money. Oh, and a federal government that's been handing out cash like it was free toilet paper.
Not looking pretty here in the US.
