"Yes We Can" - Barack Obama "No We Won't" - Gerald Celente     KINGSTON, NY, 29 December 2008 -- Although America's hopes are running high that Barack Obama will navigate the troubled ship of state to better times,"Trend Seer" Gerald Celente (the name bestowed upon him by USA Today in 2001) predicts disappointing results for the President Elect in 2009. "Minor victories; major failures" says Celente, Director of The Trends Research Institute.   Celente looks carefully at Barack Obama's history; his post election actions and administration choices and at the tumultuous global situation confronting him. Celente provides a sweeping, yet realistic picture of what to expect from the Obama Administration:   Disastrous failure in the financial sphere that preoccupies the planet. (Ambitious job creation and infrastructure programs notwithstanding.) Worsening military quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan. Moderate progress in environmental, scientific, judicial, labor and other domestic initiatives. Possible but problematic restoration of America's battered foreign image.   Celente's three decades of accurate forecasts make him a voice worth heeding. There is a lot more of the "Obamarama" forecast to read about in the Top Trends 2009 edition of the Trends Journal, which also includes:    The Collapse of '09: Markets will tumble and major businesses will fail.   The Greatest Depression: Worse than the 1930's Depression. Why?   Revolution: What will be the spark that ignites it? Who will fire the shot heard around the world?   Obamarama: High hopes, broken promises: Some victories, major failures.   Economic Slim-Fast: Like it or not, Americans will go on a spending diet and food diet. Bush Gardens: Lawns out, Edible Landscaping in. Why Bush Gardens?   Whole Health Healing: 2009 marks a year of "attitude change" for the on-trend health aware.   Little People Squeeze: Politicians will put the financial squeeze on the already squeezed. Regenerative Medicine: The time is ripe for stem cells to come out of the laboratory and into the clinic.   That's Entertainment: Lifting spirits - and drinking them - will be big business and major pastimes during the Greatest Depression.   College Crash: Following the equity market meltdown, the real estate bust and the retail unraveling, comes the college crash.   To schedule an interview with Trends Research Institute Director, Gerald Celente, or for a copy of the Trends Journal's Top Trends 2009, please contact:   Laura Martin Media Relations The Trends Research Institute lmartin@trendsresearch.com www.trendsresearch.com 845.876.6700 Ext. 1
