I am looking forward to Obama to have the opportunity to appoint at least two more Supreme Court Justices in his second term.
I think a new Court would will strike down DOMA and overturn Citizens United.

According to this the article on this link: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/06/18/120618fa_fact_lizza?printable=true
Obama might tackle 'Climate Change' and 'Immigration Reform' - and continue his efforts to contain nuclear proliferation.

In His Second Term, Obama Will Pivot to the Drug War
