President Obama has a good chance to come out of the gate swinging right off the start. Here are 4 good things he can do right away:
1. End the military ban on gays. Sign the Executive Order the day you are sworn in and let it be known that NO type of discrimination will be tolerated under the new administration.
2. Comprehensive immigration reform. Pass it. Secure the borders and raise the stakes for employers caught hiring illegals in the future but give amnesty to those already here without police records.
3. SCHIP. Pass the increase Bush vetoed and start us down the road to a National Health program by insuring all children first.
4. The Employee Free Choice Act. Pass it. It is badly needed so that the country can start rebuilding the union movement that will build back the middle class.

It may not be popular among Democrats but I, like the previous poster, don't agree with the last half of number two either. I'm not sure quite what do with them but why reward someone for breaking the law?

The Employee Free Choice Act has nothing to do with free choice, but allows Unions to coerce and compel employees to join a union.
How the idea of "closed shops" and eliminating secret ballots can good for this country, I will never understand.

Ah, maybe the government should just seize all businesses, guns, and private property while they are at it.

Agreed - they need to do something as payment for the illegal action they took - maybe community service - maybe paying a fine... not sure - but just granting them amnesty is a smack in the face to all who went thru the process legally, and diminishes overall respect for the law.
I would add another quick win - change the 401K rules so that seniors can defer withdrawals for at least a few years - so they don't have to cash-out when the market is in the dumps...

Your response is logically unrelated to anything that's been posted above... You seem like one of those "I hate Obama - and I'm going to rant every day about it' types...
