What are some potential events, policies etc that could be put into effect by Obama as being elected?

Question

Any ideas ? On what Obama may do if elected president ?

Not what he promises, but what he is likely to do realistically based on various other things ?

Answer 1

Obama will end the war in Iraq. The war in Afghanistan will be continued and all effort will be made to kill or capture bin Laden. Obama will study the energy policy for the U.S. and use monies freed from that expensive war to finance new programs. This will enable him to open up a Jobs Program, which we desperately need.  Repairing our bridges, our electrical grid, adding to the Border Patrol, etc., will provide Jobs.

Obama also said he would like to contract with the youth of this country. He said the government would pay for a year of education for every year or two years (I can't remember which) that a young person works in civic programs, such as poverty-stricken school areas, as with our American Indian schools, or with projects repairing our parks, including National Parks.  All need attention, state, local and National.

He will try to lead the country into the use of Alternative Fuels, and mandate that the auto companies give us more miles per gallon of gas.  

He will also review and update the Free Trade laws, to make sure the American worker, American manufacturing, American farming, etc., are not left out.

There is much more, but these are an indication of what he is planning. He believes in Social Security, would like to see a National Health Program....and will undoubtedly use Hillary to instigate that...and wants Pre-Kindergarten training for all children, a proven godsend to mothers and to kids.

This young man will run this country for the people, not to put more profits into the hands of the millionaires and billionaires. He will wipe out the tax cuts for the Wealthy, but offer tax cuts to Corporations who expand their operations in the United States and employ more American workers.

He will continue Faith Based Charities...in fact, I just received a letter from a his office telling me his policies...but he will review the George Bush Faith Based program to put an end to building programs and congregational luxuries on our tax money and make sure they instigate programs to help the Poor.  This is an area I have been indignant about because many churches have used tax money to build luxurious buildings and facilities, but few food programs for the Poor have been provided and no new Shelters have been built to house the homeless.

Liberal policies?  You bet!  We were better off under liberal policies, richer, more comfortable, safer, more sensible, and sure as heck a lot less nasty.  The Bible says we are to love each other, but when an Ad like the Carolina one showing Obama and bin Laden side by side comes out, I'd like to boot those nasty Republicans right in the posteriors that they use to sit around listening to Limbaugh!  I hope God understands my ire!

Answer 2

Iraq - not pull troops out until Iraqis can defend themselves completely and without U.S. assistance.

Afghanistan - send thousands of U.S. troops to the "other" war

Pakistan - graduate from unmanned drones to actual soldiers invading the mountainous border regions, effectively disregarding the sovereignty of an ally.

Energy - Subsidize energy companies to find alternative fuels, while at the same time blocking any new oil drilling that could add to the world supply in the future. He will also subsidize the use of bio-fuels, causing the cost of food to rise exponentially.

Education - He will tighten the grip the federal government already has on education, effectively ending any and all teacher creativity in the classroom by forcing them to adhere to further strict government outlines on how to teach.

Health Care - Nothing. He will do nothing. Congress will never pass any universal coverage legislation.

Taxes - He will raise taxes on the rich and upper middle class. The rich will move their money into foreign tax shelters, but the upper middle class will get stuck paying more than their fair share, thus widening the social gap between classes. He will also raise taxes on corporations in an attempt to keep them from maximizing profits by outsourcing jobs. These taxes will be passed to the consumers in the form of higher prices.

Monetary System and the Federal Reserve - Nothing. The dollar will continue on its slide to being equivalent to the peso.

Liberty - He will try to throw personal liberty away in place of social equality.

Answer 3

Very little. He will come face to face with the reality of the following dictum:

"The President proposes, the Congress disposes".

He will also be dampened in his enthusiasm by the "ghost" of Warren G. Harding who once said two things which hold true today:

1. I thought my greatest joy as President would be giving high political office to my friends. I found out you can't do that. You have to find the best man for each job.]

2. The White House is a prison.

Answer 4

May Day as a National Holiday to replace the 4th of July comes to mind

Answer 5

I can't figure out what Obama will do he keeps flipping all over the place.  I wanted him to win because he said he would pull out all of our troops immediately but today on TV from Iraq he said at least 2 to 3 more years.  He's jsut like our krappie congress.  Vote for me I'll promise you everything, then gives us nothing.  I wish Hillary had won, BO is just a big rich elitest loser.

Answer 6

Lounging a the pool Sundays(Cause we don't need to look like wease go to church anymore). Hair do day Saturdays for Michelle and the kids. Watermelon Fridays at the White House. Fried Chicken Thursdays for the whole Obama clan. Weave Wednesdays again for Michelle and the kids. Pig feet Tuesdays. Sleep in on Mondays after working so hard on the weekend....

Answer 7

Freedom and green cards to all illegal criminals and killers.
