Regardless of what the geezers and right-wingers think, there are more important issues that need to be handled and right away.

1. Leave Iraq. You can't do anything else until this happens first- 10 billion US dollars a month on a boondoggle isn't helping our image, the War on whatever, or our economy.
Once you start there, you can move onto, in no particular order
2. Universal Health Care, single payer if possible. Let's face the facts; the HMOs ain't getting it done.
3. Comprehensive Immigration reform. If you think it's 'bad' now, wait till Global Warming starts crippling whole nations. Another blanket amnesty will have to be considered.
4. A "Manhattan Project" for energy independence. Americans are getting killed financially at the gas pump. We need to get off the Internal Combustion Engine, as well as foreign oil. The sooner we move forward, the better.
5. Improving the regulatory structure. 8 years of 'hands-off' to business just ain't cuttin' the mustard. Specifically, we need to improve the FDA and whomever checks the toys. We shouldn't have a beef recall every week and a dangerously contaminated toy recall every month.

Can Obama do it? No. Can we do it? Yes we can! Well, scratch that. Yeah, we better! Because if we don't, it's gonna get ugly in the USA.

2.Control Spending
3. Eliminate the Deficit/Start paying off the debt
4. Get entitlements under control (preferably with some kind of personal savings accounts)
5. Secure Iraq and Afghanistan(with the end goal of liberalization and democratization) -- and support for the troops who are working their azzes off day in and day out
6. Sensible immigration plan that includes a guest worker program and legitimizes the illegal immigrants already here
7. Expansion of Free Trade
8. School Choice
9.Engagement (China) instead of Isolating (Cuba) countries we may not always agree with.
