Domestic:
Cap & Trade will fail to pass as implications of "Climategate" becomes more widely known.
Inflation will become a key concern by the end of the year when CPI tops 4% year-over-year.
U.S. housing market does not recover. Foreclosure crisis becomes larger as a result of government intervention in housing markets.
Real unemployment remains above 10.00%.
U.S. starts trade war in an infantile attempt to prop up domestic producers and manufacturers malled by recession using protectionist trade policies.
National debt exceeds $14 trillion.
Imputed interest rate on 30-year Treasuries exceeds 5.00%; mortgage market hits skids.
Final adjustments to real GDP find economy contracted in 2009 and this continues for 2010 as new taxes reduce output and increase unemployment.
Federal government provides more loans to state governments to continue unemployment insurance benefits.
S&P 500 gains 7% for year.
2010 elections end liberal ruling majorities in Congress. Senate control remains with Democrats but there is no longer a 60 vote super-majority. Political pundits will claim this torpedoes remaining legislative agenda for President Obama. Democrats retain control of House, but cannot pass legislation due to Senate electoral logjam.

Predictions are like shoes; everyone has them but most of them belong in the closet.
Great post but you left out the continued devaluation of the US Dollar due to massive government spending and the crippling debt owed to communist China. The price of gold will skyrocket while the dollar plummets.
I didn't forget it. 2009's real economic news that wasn't reported was the incredible increase in energy costs (oil rose 64% in 2009) and the devaluation of the American dollar. The Federal Reserve System increased the money supply by a factor equal to roughly 13% of GDP and the foreign markets have already discounted the American dollar by that amount. Further devaluations will only occur if The Federal Reserve decides to do another round of ex nihilo currency inflation. Do to the amount of flak that Gentle Ben Bernanke's nomination for an additional term as chair of the Fed is going to create (unprecedented and a complete embarrassment) I think he may be more realistic about the use of the practice of quantitative easing. Greenspan got away with it, but we are now faced with having to pay the bill for this.
Who knows, you are probably right and I am all wet. These sorts of threads are exercises in hubris to an extreme degree and I am no more prescient than the next person in this regard.
Yummybud gets laid.
Also remember there is always hope with a scope.
