So is this a list if you were king? Thankfully a president doesn't have the power to do all of these things, it requires a collection of elected officials working together to get things like these done. And my guess is the outcome isn't what you would want.

Really...what did Obama say "Ive got a pen and I've a phone"

2. Cut back on the military budget---get out of europe
Republicans will never do it because they get too much campaign money from weapons corporations.
Romney wants to increase defense spending by $2 trillion. But what will he use it for? - The Washington Post

3. Reduce cooperate taxes.
Large US corporations have an average effective tax rate of 12.6% (one of the lowest rates in the world.)

5. Cut back on EPA's budget and regulations
Without the EPA businesses could pour any poisonous substance down the sewer drain or in an empty lot. Our canals, rivers, drinking water, and wildlife would have dangerous chemicals in them. (Note: The corporate backed Fox news/Rush radio hate the EPA because they regulate and fine large corporations.)

Quote:
10. open restricted federal lands and offshore drilling to further oil exploration
Under Obama the US leads the world in oil production (we don't need to destroy federal land to get oil, we have enough oil flowing.)
Under Obama, U.S. leads the world in oil and gas production

16. Do Away with the IRS initiate a flat tax
The Flat Tax raises taxes on the poor and middle class, and lowers taxes for the rich.

Quote:
17. End subsidiaries to green energy.
I would assume you believe democrats are responsible for the above, but republicans hand out (much) more federal subsidies than democrats.

Quote:
19. Make America the #1 priority!!!
I agree but unfortunately we have republicans fighting to lower corporate tax rates, abolish the EPA, and lower rich peoples tax rates (they have made large corporations and rich people the #1 priority.)

Ill answer this question from a completely different angle. I would never be president in the first place. I won't even vote. People don't realize that "implementing policies" means "I'm going to decide what's best for everyone and violently impose it on them." I don't have the right to point a gun at you and force you to follow my opinion on what's best for everyone, which is what anyone is doing when they vote or run for office.

I don't accept that anyone owns me, and I don't desire to own anyone. As my friend IRSPOW always ends his posts...live and let live.
