What if he became president ?: An exercise in imagination

    I am reading a book on creativity and it says that asking and answering
    what if ? questions increases your creativity and power of imagination.

    So let's apply this to the presidential elections.

    All you have to do is think up a what if ? scenario, including one of the current candidates and if he became president.
    These could be imaginary or quite-probable scenario's.

    Here are mine

    1] censored
    2] censored
    3] If hillary became president, bill clinton would become the first "first gent"

    How about the whites who voted for him too? I guess just paint half of the White House Black.

    I think you have just said plenty about yourself.

    I love when peoples own ignorance lets them just make a fool of themselves. In this case with a bizzare racist suggestion that Barak will paint the White House black because he is black and to thank other blacks. Hmm, that is some high level intellectual work going on in there, ehh? You working on any other great theories?

    Oh yeah, McCain attacking Palestine. Nice one.

    IMAGINATION. I don't think obama will do such things. Just an exercise in imagination, fantasy.
    Why does everyone have to take everything here so seriously.
    Maybe this was a horrible idea.

    1] If Obama Wins, he'd nationalize the Pharmaceutical industry so that he can control the cost of Medicare

    2] f McCain wins, he'd declare emergency, and implement draft for a large war effort against "Al-Quida in Iran, Saudi Arabia, China and Russia" :D

    3] If Hillary became president, she'd immediately install a statue of Karl Marx in the White House, increase the tax rate to 75%, and declare the formation of a Politburo in the Capitol Hill "in this hour of emergency" to fight Alquida in Columbia, Kosovo, Canada and Cuba (and Iran ofcourse)

    Well, good ideas, gauharjk.

    All i wanted was that the wonderful people here use their imagination and come up with interesting ideas. Maybe the execution and examples were flawed :eek:

    Yes. People are thinking up all kinds of imaginary scenarios. Yet when you ask them to use their imagination and come up with some scenarios.They have none.

    Theory: If you ask people expressly for something, you will get nothing.

    1) PTB-approved candidate gets elected: More war, more taxes, fewer of the freedoms that "they" hate us for.

    2) Ron Paul gets elected: Less was, less taxes, more freedoms.


    Since we now know the next president will be one of the triplets of tyranny, all I can say is have fun with your police state.

    Here's another one.

    If Mccain becomes president, he will declare US part of europe and US will join the european union.

    Yeah, he'll send those forces to Sudan and Somalia. :D

    Hitlary would be more than willing to attack Iran.

    McCain would be in Iraq for a 100 years. And not to forget, he has some unfinished business in Vietnam.

    Unfortunately, Ron Paul is not gonna be the president. :(
