The muggings, robberies and tank looting will just be the beginning.

Oil executives will live in hiding and fear.

Obama will be elected by a frightened desperate mass of people and he will pull the troops from Iraq shocking gas to 7.00 a gallon by spring 2009. Iran will make a powerplay, seize Iran oilfield directly or via proxy rebels and gas will shoot up to 11.00 a gallon.

Obama will then become the whipping boy for a frenzied middle class populace living at extended stay motels after their houses have been foreclosed and resold at 30 percent of 2006 property valuations after they realize too late that Bush was actually trying his best to hold things together for the average American by using troops overseas.

Then the crime will really hit. Riots, armed gangs roaming in economy cars looking for more to loot and despoil.

Unemployment will hit staggering figures as folks leave dead-end jobs or are fired all across industrial America.

The global economy will stall almost immediately - something we are already witnessing the beginnings of. China, India and the rest will slide back into decline as US orders for work and production simply dry up.

Then the military powers will be eyeballing their neighbors wealth. Objective wealth such as oil, minerals, water, timber and food supplies will draw aggressive eyes seeking to provide for their starving masses and failing fortunes.

Bunkers and militias will make an appearance in the remote quarters. Obama will have to declare martial law in the cities hardest hit. His black helicopters will sweep down and unarmed or armed dissidents will disappear in the cloak of darkness.

When California hits 70 percent illegal Mexican population figures in 2010 there will be a call to secede from the Union and the great Mexican War of 2011 will begin after Mexico declares California their own. Obama internment camps for dissident Americans of Mexican nationality will be located all over the US. Some will be forcibly interned as slave farm labor.

After that, the riots are non-stop and the military can't keep it in check. The masses live in fear and cities become armed bunkers with lawlessness the order of the day. States secede and form their own laws to protect them from the deserters of Obama's brigades.

Food supplies are interrupted and folks must grow their own food or steal others' food. Starvation in the fattest nation suddenly becomes real again. We win the war with Mexico after Obama nukes Mexico City with a small device. He orders enforced slavery and turns Mexico into US government farmland depleted by the secession of states like Idaho and Kansas. Canad is also invaded and Canuck hockey teams are forced to disband.

Europe becomes completely overrun by foreigners, their birthrate turns negative and everyone smokes 3 packs a day causing most of Europe's trees to die. The smokers blame it on global warming as a cover up. European nations loose their nationalities and the social systems start to break up with minorities rioting frquently. Oops - that already happened.

Russia returns to communism and the mobsters regain KGB titles. Their experiment in "brutal" capitalism teaches them to become a cartel of oil producing states like OPEC. Soon they sabotage OPEC refineries and oilfields and become the sole major exporter/refiner of oil to the last bastions of civilization in the world.

Then the sun flares up. A radiation wave sweeps the Earth and humanity perishes in a sea of genetic mutated deformity over the next 100 years. Underground shelters and stragglers carry on for a few hundred more after that until the last human - a baby girl - perishes without her mutated 3 armed mother's care after her mother succumbs to the 10 foot mutant cockraches feasting on what's left of the Earth's ecology.
