He will increase taxes on us all. He will regulate most industries. He will increase the size of government. He will become our Great Socialist. Hyperbole, I'm sure, but for emphasis sake. He will give us Obamacare, unfortunately.
This is a very sad time for economic conservatives, for advocates of smaller government, for civil libertarians, but alas perhaps our time is past.

You write as if Obama can increase taxes at will. Congress might follow him, but a tax increase would hardly be his responsibility alone. Plus, the next president has his work cut out for him if he's going to tackle budget issues. Whether it's McCain or Obama, I'll bet taxes go up and programs get cut. The Bush administration hasn't left a lot of options on the table.
