Well, if you are already living outside the US, the whole question coming from you makes little sense. Most Americans have never lived outside the US...
Was I asking myself the question? That's a rhetorical question. No, I was asking other posters.
It seems an odd question, especially since you said you have lived mostly outside the US for 10 years, i.e. already when conservatives were in power. At the same time you make it seem as if Obama was the reason people should emigrate...

I've lived and worked outside of the U.S. for business reasons. Now I'm considering emigrating. I still have my primary house and additional 3 houses in the U.S. as well as my kids.
But I know many more Americans including several in my family considering emigrating. You can't run deficits like we're doing and have a future.
We have, as of now, 15 pages of replies based upon two right-wing lunatic notions, 1) that President Obama is on a mission to destroy commerce in the USA, and; 2) that 47% of Americans are freeloaders. Both are preposterous presumptions at odds with two other gnawing notions, facts and reality.
Considering that even a casual review of those facts reveals that corporate capitalization is at a near record high; corporate profits are also near their highs and so on, it's difficult to objectively conclude that Mr. Obama's mission is to destroy commerce.
It is also impossible for thinking people to buy into the second premise, considering that of the 70 million tax filers that don't pay taxes, 32 million of them have low paying jobs and work at 1, 2 and 3 jobs to provide for themselves and their families. It's insulting to these people and all American to call them "freeloaders" merely because their toils result in little money. Of the rest, we're talking about those in the armed services, retirees that worked their entire lives and students in college.
Given the path Obama is pursuing to destroy commerce in the USA, I'm looking for alternatives if he wins again. Actually most every American that I'm working with are doing the same.
When it was obvious Obama would win the last time, I pulled most of my money and investments out of the US and saved and built my wealth tremendously by doing so. I'll pull more out if he wins again and liekly emigrate. The 47% will soon be 60% and all incentive to invest and grow the US economy will be gone. For those happy to see the US destroyed, congrats.
If you want to leave, fine, don't let the doorknob hit you where the Good Lord split you. I have never seen such a whiney bunch of people in my life. When things get tough they cut and run. The Greatest Generation would be ashamed of you.

With all your houses - funny you mention them before your kids - you are not the average American anyway.
Most Americans won't be able to emigrate because most countries don't want the kind of immigrants that would leave the US.

Basis for this statement? Becasue I have seen quite the opposite. If you have enough money and no criminal record, many many countries will let you emigrate.

If you have that kind of money, there is no reason to emigrate in the first place
(Why do you keep messing up the format of your posts?!)
Can you please suggest some countries where you wish to emigrate. May be those countries more socialist then Obama.
