reform of the medical system BEFORE he does anything drastic with it. bring the troops back gradually, not all at once so that we did not waste American lives there tighter border patrol end free trade to combat outsourcing more concentration on developement of better ways to extract oil in a less environmentaly damaging way, and refine a way to extract shale oil, as well as combine oil and alternative energies so that we can become self sufficient better the education system, for example, the average student in Buffalo (which has a near 50% dropout rate) has roughly $36k/year spent on their education, which is nearly 3x more than some of the best private schools in the area. not worry about how we look to other countries becuase it is not as bad as everybody thinks… cept the French…fuck the French. ---

Not that it hasn’t been said already, but: Out of Iraq, and establish and execute clear plans towards clear goals in Afghanistan. Shred the fucking Patriot Act. Shut down Guantanimo Bay. Last I checked we still considered ourselves a civilized democracy. Banking regulation. Some sort of health care reform that would let any sick American see a doctor without going bankrupt, but wouldn’t give free implants to welfare whores. A 2 part plan to deal with all the Mexicans: Secure the borders and reform immigration so that we can get the ones who are here signed up and paying taxes. Some sort of earmark tax cut just for Springville Mfr. 😛 Education reform. No child left behind is a joke. I have high hopes for Obama here. Maybe Obama can sign on Bill Ayers as an education advisor? Kidding… Culture shift. In our generation it hasn’t been cool to be proud to be American and apathy has reigned supreme. That needs to change. ---

im so sick of people crying about how much more money obama is going to take. you have to spend a little bit of money in order to make some. i would like to see more jobs coming home instead of going away to other countries. military back in the u.s… let the reserves continue their lives and start working their jobs again. overall the country needs to start working together to build it back up and make us the wealthiest country that we used to be known as. ---

I’d like the democrats to get the fundamental ideas back to what made this country great… no reward without hard work and sacrifice, equality and freedom for all, small federal government.
