20 Minutes with the President

If I had the chance to sit down with President elect Obama, I would begin by congratulating him and telling how much I admire him. I would chat with him on his plans for the war and, obviously, his view on the economy since it's what everyone is talking about right now. I would want to know who he's considering for his cabinet, where he wants his administration to go, and things like that. I would let him know that I believe Wall Street should be watched more closely now, taxes should be raised on the upper class, same-sex marriage should be legalized, and education policies should be revamped.

I think four years from now people will have more respect for our government and especially the president's office. To be frank, I think President Bush made a real mess of our country in many ways and President Obama will do a fanastic job of cleaning it up. I believe the big corporations will monitored more closely than they have been and our economy at least will be on its way to repair. I think the war situation will be resolved or nearly resolved and there will be a lot more soldiers back home again. I'm very optimistic for the next four years.

I think forty years from now I'll have a family and be living in a more suburban area, but I'm not positive where. I think the environment will be the forefront in politics and maybe some sort of international conflict might be going on.
