obama is less likely to get away with reinstating the AWB, and in general will be less effective, so i'd prefer he be president, of the two

he'll pass all kinds of other privacy-invading bullshit that democrats usually whine about, but the party in power can always quell its own internal dissent, that's how it works. also democrats are not on the edge of anything, ever, whereas a large percentage of conservatives are still preparing to start a very real fight over any further encroachments into certain hotspots in their lives: their guns, their religion, and their kids' future

of course the global financial system is still busy collapsing anyway so it doesn't really matter which party presides over it; governments are incapable of doing anything about that (except closing up shop, which they never do)

but you'll see interposition, secession and open revolt much sooner if congress bad-touches gun ownership, obamacare, romneycare, etc.
