As I make my trek this weekend to D.C. for the inauguration, I wanted to provide my Obama wish list to the public. Too many times I see people blindly following politicians and acting as if they can do nothing wrong. I try not to take that concept when it comes to political parties. All have their faults and none are perfect. I voted for Barack Obama for a reason. Well, reasons to be exact. I felt like he was the best candidate that matched my goals and aspirations for this country. I believe in this 21st century we have to progress as a people and lead the world once again as we did in the last century or we will forfeit our vanguard to another nation that we cannot so easily trust. We have to start now. The items I would like to see achieved during the next four years are important to me and I think will put this country back on track to being a world leader once again.
- Safe, careful and timely withdrawal from Iraq
- Stimulus bill that is real and on par with the New Deal. One that will create millions of new jobs; that will repair and enhance our crumbling infrastructure and will provide new money and initiative for green technology and high-speed commuter rails.
- Broadband access universally.
- Obama’s health care plan passed in full.
- Close down Gitmo.
