Something's coming. A cautionary statement, not a prediction really. [View All]

Sorry, guys. I've been trying to hold off after the brouhaha over my Edwards prediction, but I feel I must post this.
The last few weeks I've been doubting myself, as I predicted a Hillary Clinton win in November and "saw" her being sworn into office.
Obama's surge and primary wins have made me think I was either wildly employing wish-think, or seeing an alternate reality on another plain. And, I have not been able to conjure the inaugural for several weeks. It as though a veil has gone down between me and that moment.

And this morning, I saw something disturbing. The McCain camp is starting to see Obama as the man to beat, and they have stepped up the rhetoric. (Not a prediction, just an observation.) Obama's appeal may be on the wane, because I sense it has reached its peak. However, if he is not the nominee, there may be some issues we must deal with that involve violence and death.

A few months ago it struck me one day that the similarities between this year and 1968 were eerie. We had an unpopular war and a president who was not running for office. We had civil unrest and people who had not been involved in the electoral process getting behind a charismatic candidate who promised change. We had a divided Democratic Party and a brokered convention that broke out in riots, riots that reverberated through the fabric of the nation for years and changed the way America looked at politics. The Chicago Eight are indicted. The Weathermen rise. The Soledad 7 (not directly related, but part of the Black Panther movement that got momentum from the Chicago Riots) and Angela Davis.

We may be in for a rocky, rocky time in the next four or five years. And I sense a lot of pain and some very sad things.

I'm not ready to make any predictions right now. I do see a lot of images and I'm getting a lot of information, but I don't feel prepared to share. Is anyone else getting impressions on this?
