What do you Want Obama to Take Care of the MOST his 1st Year?
I would like to see some repeals...namely of the Military-Commissions Act and in a perfect world the Patriot Act (but I doubt that happens).

I'd like to see some bills passed that focuses on transparency and the beginning stages of our leaving Iraq.

11. Economics
I want my health care costs lowered, the price of gasoline reduced, the strength of the dollar heightened, and the cost of living lowered.

Put more money in my pocket, please. I am not wealthy and cannot get tax breaks or invest in tax shelters. I'm just a regular guy who works and would like his bills to be reasonable and his pay to be worth more in real dollars.

K thx bai. lol

19. You realize we don't have that money in the first place, right?
You mean borrow more money from China to build infrastructure then?

I'd rather find a different funding solution.

20. Reconstitute our Diplomatic standing in the world so that the use of military force
is not the primary expression of American influence and force.

It would require us substantially leaving Iraq in the first year and using his office to reduce tensions in Palestine/Israel, Iran, North Korea and else where.

It would also mean that the world was working together to solve the global warming crises.

It would further mean that our financial involvement in Iraq and elsewhere would be substantially reduced so that we would have more money to use on infrastructure and other stimulus areas to help reinvigorate the economy.
