Predictions from "Happy About Knowing What to Expect in 2009"

• " The United States' standing in the world takes a significant upward swing, as the trust and credibility that the world has placed in Barak Obama's administration makes a clear and immediate difference. Both our allies and our enemies respect us more as policies of pragmatism, transparency and realism replace policies of dogmatism and cronyism. The United States becomes much more effective as a world leader, making significant strides in climate change, protecting our environment, energy independence and difficult relations in Russia, the Middle East, China and North Korea."
