Your the next US president: what will you do?

[MuniAddict]

Name TEN most important issues on your agenda as president, (or as many as you can think of, in order of importance) and how you would go about accomplishing, and implementing each task. Your answer(s) may just reveal some new insights into your psyche...or maybe just confirm them, lol!

[drumstuck]

1. Invade Iran (accomplished by making stuff up about stuff they are up to and stuff)
2. Invade Iraq again (just to win their hearts and minds this time and to check the dipstick)
3. Invade Afghanistan (just to check on the drugs and that, and the oil pipeline and things and that)
4. Invade Vietnam (just to check on the funny hats and stuff)
5. Invade Saudi Arabia (just to watch some of that cool car drifting on youtube for real)
8. Invade Libya (just to see what they are up to and some such)
9. Invade Panama (hats again, so shallow I know)
10. Invade Nicaragua (drugs again)

I figured this thread might illicit some sarcasm in place of actual ideas. Psyche confirmed. (Btw, don't ask me. I don't pretend to know how to govern a city, state or entire country, but it sure seems that many of you do, so go for it!)

Sheesh, some people. I put a lot of work into that!

Yes you did, I thought it was creative. Your solutions are noted.

1 healthcare
2 give more money to public schools
3 begin to pull out troops from iraq
4 raise smoking age to 21
5 find and use alternate fuel sources
6 legalize marijuana
7 defend Georgia
8 limit off shore drilling
9 make rich people pay more taxes
10 limit amount of guns per household

I think i made a fairly good list.

I would bomb any school that graduates individuals who can not distinguish between "your" and "you're". Also among "there", "their", and "they're".

Oh hell, I'd also mail anthrax to schools whose graduates can't spell "definitely".

And just to satisfy Billy, I'd work to make Atheism the official religion.

I'd issue an Executive Order declaring black people "violent" and "lazy" so those 30 to 40 percent of white Democrats and Independents wouldn't have to feel guilty.

Theirs moor but I definatly beter stop.

[Edit]: Apologies, Terry, I know you were trying to be serious.

Would you limit drilling in ANWR, too? Also, what age would legal pot be at if tobacco is 21? What would the gun limit per household be? When you say find and use alternate fuel sources, do you mean energy sources as well like solar, or just fuel, like biodiesel.

Otherwise, your list looks pretty much like what mine would.

You forgot to explain how and why you go about implementing your ideas.

[harper]

Thanks for choosing 10 which makes it easy.

For i=1..10; Restore Amendment[i]

[ntappin]

1. Legalize all drugs and tax them.
2. Put all the money going into fighting drugs into controlling them.
3. Tax smokes, smokes, guns, and ammo more.
4. Revisit NAFTA to find a way that works for both Canada and the U.S.
5. Get out of Iraq and focus more on helping Mexico with its crime problems.
6. Less taxes for poor more for rich.
7. Lower drinking age to 18 or 19 either one seems fine to me.
8. Legalize gay marriage and set up rules for divorce, adoption and the like.
9. Tax breaks for adoption.
10. Set free anyone in jail for a simple possession charge.

Damn! You got me there! I can't believe I misspelled *you're* in my thread title! I'm usually grammatically accurate, for the most part. Oh well, no excuse for being tired, but at least words in the actual post were spelled correctly.
PS: Also, the first sentence should have started: "Name *the* TEN most important..."

You must be a democrat?

My list is a little different.
1. Finish the war in iraq
2. Give more money to private and charter schools
3. Make tobacco illegal
4. Give money to programs that encourage science and math
5. Start off shore drilling and in ANWR
6. Lower government spending
7. Use the death penalty
8. Make abortion illegal
9. Give money to adoption agencies
10. Make all gay/lesbian unions illegal

Guess we disagree a little.
