Only if that means it is over because we won. And we will have some very strategically located, large bases to counter Iranian and Russian agression for the next 50 years.1. Ending the war in Iraq
2. Developing American energy independence
Only if he adopts Hillary's plan of MANDATORY UNIVERSAL PARTICIPATION. Which means EVERYONE, without exception, PAYS premiums.3. Universal healthcare for all Americans
Nuclear power is unnecessary and creates radioactive waste. The Italians want to send their waste to us.
Obama's plan is not mandatory. Hillary's plan was the worst of both worlds, with people being made to support the current bloated system. By the way we already have universal healthcare, but an expensive, patchwork, inefficient version of it. That is why we pay twice per capita what the other Western democracies pay for heathcare.
Iranian and Russian aggression? Are we going to war with Iran and Russia? We can barely occupy two small countries at one.

Cannot have Universal coverage without Mandatory universal participation. The nation cannot afford it unless EVERYONE, without exception, PAYS.
And we cannot achieve ANY level of energy independence unless we use every kilowatt hour of energy we can produce, domestically, which includes drilling for every last drop of oil and bubble of gas, mining every ounce of coal and maximizing nuclear power, something we can do very well because of our huge uranium deposits. We have to DO IT ALL, not just whatever program fits one's political agenda.
And Iraq is a long term STRATEGIC move. We need the bases. And yes, we are going to be in Iraq for the rest of your lifetime and it doesn't matter who the President is or what party controls Congress.
You do realize that most energy derived from oil isn't involved with cars right?
We currently get 19% of our electricity from nuclear power. We need to expand that...
No, we need to decentralize energy production. Every house in America should be required to have solar shingles and small wind turbines. Algae farms can produce 10,000 gallons of ethanol per acre. Alternative energy technology is available, and it is clean. Remember the "victory gardens" in WWII? We can do it the simple and easy way, it just takes the political will.
What would this do to the price of homes? How would middle income Americans be able to afford this expensive technology?
Cloudy Outlook For Solar Panels: Costs Substantially Eclipse Benefits, Study Shows
Despite increasing popular support for solar photovoltaic panels in the United States, their costs far outweigh the benefits, according to a new analysis by Severin Borenstein, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley's Haas School of Business and director of the UC Energy Institute.

ScienceDaily (Feb. 22, 2008)
From your post...
Producing electricity with solar energy now costs 1.5 times more than using coal or petrochemicals.
Here are the things that should be Obama's top priorities.
#1 Ending the war in Iraq
#2 Bringing us Universal Healthcare
#3 Repealing NAFTA
#4 Repealing The Patriot Act
#5 Repealing Taft-Hartley
#6 Bringing Bush/Cheney up on criminal charges for war crimes. (send them to the Haig!!!)
#7 Fire John Bolton!#8 Strengthen the FISA act
#9 Abolish The Office Of Homeland Security!
#10 Prosecute John Ashcroft!

The New York Times > Log In[Dem leaders] say he must do more to convince the many undecided Democrats and independents that he would address their financial anxieties rather than run, by and large, as an agent of change -- given that change, they note, is not an issue.
