Lee said there would be a big change in Hillary Clinton's health and career but that doesn't necessarily mean she will hold political power.
In contrast, Clinton's Democratic rival, Barack Obama, "has an in-born talent for leadership and is expected to be in an extraordinary political position in the next 10 years."
"There's a big chance that he will win November's presidential election in the United States," Lee predicted. |

Of course I'd love for this to be true, but I don't hold much stock in that stuff. |

if he could truly predict, he would not be a chinese astrologist. He'd be a professional gambler of sports, current events, etc. You never would have heard of him and he prob. wouldn't share his info. Instead he makes $10k a year writing for newspapers???
BUSTED!!! |

$10k in USDs/year is a huge salary in China. Lots of Chinese scrape by on only 5,000RMBs (less than $1k USDs) a year. |

Why didn't he predict this 2 years ago, when hardly anyone knew who the *beep* obama was? |

After New Hampshire, I'm more likely to believe in a Chinese Astrologer's predictions that Wolf Blitzer's.
But it is still anybody's game. Yeah I know, a football analogy.
Obama could be up by 100 touchdowns, but as long as Clinton is in it, anything can happen. |

Typical astrologer leaves the door open with 'There's a big chance'... |

I prefer to take this as an endorsement from the Chinese 'man on the street' 'with psychic powers' for Obama. The world loves this guy, why didn't California? |

I think my favorite astrologer's caveat was this guy I saw interviewed on a TV documentary about astrologers. He said something like "well, when I say there's going to be an earthquake, it might mean a literal earthquake, or it could mean something like an earthquake in our educational system". |
