Okay, so here’s a list of things that I have been collecting from the media on what President Obama has to do when he “hits the ground running.” If he isn’t running he might be looking back. Then as Satchel Paige the famous Black pitcher said, “He might be gaining on you.” “He” is clearly the guy with the horns. No matter now because Obama got himself elected. Here’s the start of his “To Do List” that I collected from the media.
Jump start the economy with a trillion dollar bailout.
Relief for all those poor folks who bought sucker mortgages. The government as mortgager. Banks to auction off all foreclosed housing.
Save the automobile corporations from their meltdown.
Stop the war between Israel and the Palestinians.
Keep the Indians and Pakistanis from going to war over Kashmir and terrorists.
Convince China not to dump the Trillion Treasury Notes we owe them.
Get the U.S. troops out of Iraq in the 16 months that you promised.
Rescind all the last minute Bush big corporate giveaways, like drilling and mining in the Grand Canyon.
Re-establish some kind of U.S. hegemony in Latin America.
Clear up the immigration mess, particularly as it concerns Mexico, Honduras, etc.
Get every pre-school child into a Head Start program.
Make sure that all high school graduates can go to college either through taxbrakes or tuition or government loans.
Get a National Health Care program underway that will relieve all businesses great and small of that burden. (Remember Main Street and Joe the Plumber.)
Rebuild our infrastructure of roads, bridges, schools, public transportation, and swimming pools for ghetto kids.
Develop a renewable energy program to overcome our obsession with oil.
Make sure Social Security is around for the Baby Boomers.
Get those Wall Street regulations back to prevent another meltdown like the one we are witnessing now.
Don’t forget the “card check” for the unions to be able to organize places like Wal-mart.
Okay, I got some more stuff from the Media, but I think that’s enough for you to chew on for starters, especially if you “hit the ground running.” Just make sure you are running away from the devil and not towards him. Anyhow, Happy New Year and Good Luck. Man you are going to need it.
Thanks Kate N.H.W.Y.

One brief addition, please: that every kid who enters high school doth graduate high school prepared to enter and succeed in college
you need something between your pre-school and your college admission bullets
