(1,799 posts)I'd love to shake his hand but if I had 10 minutes to chat with President Obama..hmmm...
I'd tell him to stop trying to work with the Republicans. It's clear they don't care about the American people, any agenda besides their own or even about doing their jobs. Get angry and push through the agenda he was elected on. Twice.
I'd congratulate him on ObamaCare. (And Yes, he should be proud to have it bear his name.). But it's not enough. We need to get the greedy insurance and pharma companies out of our healthcare system. They've taken the first step, but there's a lot of work to do to get the system we deserve.
Legalize gay marriage. It's long overdue.
Continue to protect women's rights to contraception and healthcare that WE choose. It's so important.
Work with Congress to close Gitmo, rescind The Patriot Act and bring our troops home! Terrorism is a concern, but Bush/Cheney were wrong in how they dealt with it. Find new ways.
I'll probably need notecards...
