Some of my main concerns are the following:

1) The erosion of the First Amendment and a press that is either afraid of Obama or believes he is above scrutiny. There are already dangerous signs of this. Obama has appeared to own the press and many comedians and humorists have already acknowledged that Obama will be off limits.

2) The erosion of the Second Amendment based on comments made by Obama in the past. The worst possible scenario would be firearm confiscation similar to what was done in Australia.

3) Obama's plans for a civilian service corp as powerful as the military that could open up terrifying prospects that have occurred previously in world history.

4) Transforming the IRS into a welfare distribution system. Currently 38% of Americans are on the government dole. Projections of an Obama system raise that number to about 48%. Voters whose only goal is to increase entitlements will create government dependence as has never been seen before in this country.

5) Obama's plans for reduced oil and coal production in the US with cap and trade regulations that have a crushing impact on industry and the economy.
