What would be the most popular legislation Obama could introduce?

[Fumesucker]

What issue burns the most in people's minds and has the most public unanimity on?

That's what you use to dismantle the filibuster, the most popular law you can find.

And then you push it like the Republicans do, constant and obsessive repetition from every Democrat.

It's not a sure-fire plan but it gives you the best shot, IMO.

1. Stopping the Wars, Legalizing Marijuana....

[Echo In Light]

3. Hey ho let's go!

[ixion]

16. Gabba Gabba Hey!

:hi:

[Echo In Light]

17. We accept you-one of us

;)

[Uben]

2. Social Security for all !

Beginning at age 18 and paying $200,000 yr, plus free healthcare. Yeah, that's the ticket!

(I'd take 40 acres and a mule)

[Fumesucker]

5. Why start so old?

At birth or it's a turd between two pieces of bread. :evilgrin:

Edited thanks to caffeine deficiency.

4. There must be something

Off the top of my head, I'd say a windfall profit tax on the corporations who have outsourced our jobs coupled with an income tax for the working and middle class.

[Fumesucker]

10. With particular emphasis on the financial sector..

Lords of the Universe don't work out all that well most of the time.

[laughingliberal]

12. Yes, the anger at this sector right now would make it easy if there was political will

which there may not be as this is the source of the politicians' donations.

6. Legalization of Marijuana.

If the facts are fairly presented, which never happens with anything, it would be an obvious choice for legalization. It doesnt kill people, the only harm from it is being caught. The pukes should be on board because of all the money that could be made. Extra billions in taxes and saving billions in wasted spending without raising taxes.

7. Universal health care. Jobs program. End wars.

[Armstead]

8. Real reform of healthcare?....Or...

Sorry, could not resist.

But in a serious vein, actual anti-trust legislation that would curb further monopolization and start to encourage a revitalization of a truly competitive and responsive grassroiots free-enterprise system.

That didn't sound very sexy as I described it. In a simpler way I'd say "Kick the ass of the Corporate Oligarchy."

or something like that.

9. I was unaware the executive branch introduces legislation.

I am aware the executive branch tells members of its party in Congress what it wants proposed.

[Fumesucker]

11. I meant "introduce" as meaning the idea, concept, not as explicitly as it sounded..

Poor choice of words on my part.

In the same sense that Kennedy began the Moon race.

[mmonk]

18. Gotcha. No problem.

[old mark]

13. Is this "Barry from DC" looking for advice from Liberals?

Be nice to come up with something good, wouldn't it, Barry?

[kctim]

14. Most popular?

Would be clamping down hard on illegal immigrants and those who employ them.

[NoPasaran]

15. Mars, bitches!
