20 minutes with Obama

Part One:

I'm not exactly sure what I'd bring up if I had 20 minutes with President Obama. I'd probably ask what he plans to do about health care, and I'd ask him about abortion. I know he's pro-Choice, but I want to get more of a view from him. I would ask him what he wants to do about the troops in Iraq and his overall view on the war and where it's taken our country. I don't have any solutions/ideas for any of these because I'm not the president and I don't know what would fix this. These are the most critical issues because they're where all of our country's tax money is being spent, it's where all of the government's money is going and I want to know the real importance of these things.

Part Two:

I'm hoping our nation will be a better place for everyone in four years. I'll still be pretty young, only nineteen. I'm hoping the economy will be a better place for us to live. Personally, I hope that the troops will be out of Iraq. I wish there won't be any war in four years, but we all know that that can't happen.

In 2035, I'll be 42. It's hard to say what the biggest issues facing our nation will be because everything changes so quickly. I'm guessing that we'll still be facing a huge national debt. I hope our economy will be stronger than it is now. I think we also might be facing running out of critical elements to survive. I don't know if the world will be a better place. We could have made good decisions, and we could have made bad decisions. The choices we make are what are going to determine the fate of our world in 2035. It's hard to say now, but hopefully, we'll be stronger.

WowwowWOW! I agree with a lot of what's been said here. Obama loves to talk about all these great things he's going to do with our country, and how we need to have hope... Yet none of us have heard of a real detailed action plan yet.

I support Obama more than I do McCain personally, but it seems like no matter WHO is president, we're not going to be able to fix these renewable energy, healthcare, war in Iraq, or budget related issues so quickly. Bush screwed us up.
BAD.

And I don't think anyone has the answers now, and they probably wont for another... 4 years. As soon as Obama decides to finish hsi term.

Good post.
