I need to purchase the handbook on surviving the next four years. We were so close to change and we thought help was on the way, but in end our efforts weren't enough. Judging from Bush's past performance, I can predict that things will stay the same or get worse. Now that he will start a second term he doesn't need to worry about making progress to influence voters.
So how are we going to weather the storm? Just like we always have. I doubt the fabric of American society will rip apart, but we have to be prepared. We're gonna need the help of allies, if only they'll give us a second chance instead of leaving us alone. They aren't obligated to do anything for us, so I hope Bush can persuade them to help.
