Obama's top three priorities

[Chris]

1. Ending the war in Iraq
2. Developing American energy independence
3. Universal healthcare for all Americans

Works for me......

"My top priority as president will be ending this war in Iraq, a war that should have never been authorized and never been waged. In doing so, I will work to keep our country safe from terrorists and to restore American credibility around the world. Providing universal health care to the 47 million Americans who currently do not have it will be another top priority of my administration, as will combating global warming and putting our country on the path toward energy independence. But all of the issues that I have focused on in this campaign -- whether it's creating a 21st century education system and fighting poverty or achieving comprehensive immigration reform and strengthening our economy -- are vitally important and must be prioritized by the next president. And all of these issues share one thing in common: in order to fully address them, we have to do more than change political parties. We have to fundamentally change our politics and transform the way business is done in Washington."

*snark*

How many Obama Points was that worth?

 

[William Joyce]

We have to fundamentally change our politics and transform the way business is done in Washington."

Is there a politician who doesn't say this?

Every election cycle?

And could anything be more constant than "the way business is done in Washington"?

Presidential Campaign Slogans

 

[Chris]

It is hard to knock down those goals with anything but insults.

You have my sympathies.

 

[Denny Crane]

2. Developing American energy independence
3. Universal healthcare for all Americans

Well, it works for me too. With 2 sons recently joining the military, 1 in the Army and 1 in the Marines, they can't leave Iraq soon enough for me. We already had 1 son who did a tour and 1/2 in Iraq, thanks to the back door draft, and I'm not looking forward to possibly sending 2 more to fight in a war where we shouldn't have been in the first place as far as I'm concerned.

I'm all for energy independence. I'd be thrilled if anyone could at least put forth a good effort to accomplish it.

Being a baby boomer myself healthcare is a big issue also. I can deal with the minor aches and pains of getting older but if I were to pay out of pocket for a major illness I'd be screwed. Heathcare reform would be great start.

These three priorities will save us a ton of money.

$200 billion dollars a year saved, if we pull out of Iraq.

$200 billion dollars a year saved, if we have universal healthcare.

And the entire country saved if we become energy independent.

how much does it cost when a plane crashes into nyc?

how much does it cost when doctors quit because they are not going to work because they are making half what they used to make?

how much does it cost when my pay check goes to people who don't work?

how much does it cost to drill our own oil?

59% of U.S. doctors now favor universal healthcare....

thank you for answering 1 question out of 4. i would really appreciate if you could answer the other 3.

Republicans are pussies. A group of guys in a cave in Pakistan with no army, no navy, and no air force is not a real threat to a country of 300 million people.

How much does it cost to drill your own oil? A lot more than it costs to check the air in your tires. Obama was dead on in talking about fuel conservation. Republicans won't talk about fuel conservation because it hurts their oil company butt buddies.

Pay checks going to people who won't work? I assume you mean welfare. I am against welfare, both corporate and individual.

how did the 9/11 attacks happen then?

again do the math(which i'm sure you are blind to), you can save a lot more by drilling then getting the pressure gauge out.

no i'm refering to barack hussein obama's tax proposition. let me blow my salary on the horse races and i'm in "need" too.

Bin Laden said his goal was to "bankrupt America." Bush's huge deficits are helping Bin Laden accomplish his goal.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

I saw McCain on television the other day agreeing with Obama about how much gas we could save by inflating our tires. I think he said about 3%. Conservation and fuel efficiency requirement for cars will help a lot. But we need to develop solar power, wind power, and algae based ethanol. The technology is there, but the oil companies own the politicians.

i like your effort, but why does bin laden support barack hussein obama over john mccain?

Who cares? Does Bin Laden get to vote?

Which candidate can achieve the goals that are important for America?

A 72 year old man on 5 different medications who sold his soul to George Bush, or a young man who has already captivated the world before even being elected?

paris hilton captivates the world, does that mean she should run for office?

bush is aweful, and i never voted for him.
but thanks for dodging the question.

What question?

Oh, you mean the character assassination campaign ad that McCain ran that has nothing to do with the issues.

Bringing the troops home, American energy independence, and universal healthcare, that's what's important. That's what Obama is trying to accomplish, and the Republicans are talking about Paris Hilton!

Doesn't that just say it all about who should be leading this country? The party talking about serious issues or the one talking about Paris Hilton?
