To Be Completed By 2010

Now that the campaign is over, I am willing to give President Obama the benefit of the doubt that he will accomplish all he promised in the campaign. With a large Democratic majority in the House and Senate, Obama should have no problems passing whatever he wants. So here's the list that Obama should accomplish by 2010 at the latest:

1. Tax cut for 95% of Americans - I will anxiously await this next year
2. My health insurance should cost me $2500 less next year.
3. The Iraq war should be over next year and the $10 billion spent here at home.
4. Gas should be less than $2 a gallon, as Obama pursues off-shore drilling, clean coal, etc.
5. Guantanamo Bay should be closed and the suspected terrorists held there should be moved to American soil or set free.
6. College tuition for all who want to attend.
7. There should be fewer abortions next year than this year.

I know there are more promises that Obama should have no problem keeping, with the Democratic Congress working with him, but this is a list of seven that he repeatedly said he would pursue. I look forward to the completion of the list by 2010.

Well, the $2.00 gasoline has already happened, no thank to the Big O. He's already waffling on the tax cut (and really it was only a cut AFTER he allowed the current tax cuts to expire. It was only a cut from the new higher rate), so expect a tax increase.

With one promise ($2 gas) already in the bag I expect him to keep possibly one of the other 6.
