I asked the I Ching, “Will Obama be the next president?” This is the answer I received. (And my interpretation of that answer.)

The hexagram is DECAY.

The symbol is a bowl of rotting meat infested with maggots.

:: In other words, our country is a mess ::

The judgment is: WORK ON WHAT HAS BEEN SPOILED
Has supreme success.

::The mess must be fixed ::

The image is: The wind blows low on the mountain:
The image of DECAY.
Thus the superior man stirs up the people
And strengthens their spirit.

:: Obama inspires people, obviously ::

Nine in the second place means:
Setting right what has been spoiled by the mother.
One must not be too persevering.

:: The mess was not caused by him, yet he must fix it ::

Nine at the top means:
He does not serve kings and princes,
Sets himself higher goals.

:: What is higher than a king or prince? The people, for sure, represented by the President. ::
