OBAMA!!!!
I was near tears when CNN announced that Obama had won the Presidential race. There was a warm blanket wave of emotion over me that "everything is going to be OK". Finally, the US will go in a fresh direction. The world agrees and I think they respect our nation's democracy and system of self correction. Here's what I want to see from him now:
1) Economic clean up - The biggest issue is leading the world out of this recession. He needs to reform Wall Street and implement checks and balances in a smart manner.
2) End Wars - bring our troops back, finish off Al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Shut down Gitmo and lead the United States into promoters of peace and begin dismanteling the notion that we will forever be a military industrial complex.
3) Health Care - fix it. Its been too long and you've made serious promises. You've got enough of congress to back you to make even larger reforms than you proposed in the campaign. Universal health care should be a responsibility of the government to provide. The rest of the world has learned this, now we should too.
Also, please start declaring "God Bless America, God Bless the World". I think its time we have our president ackowledge that we stand with Earth. More on that later.
