The Obama priorities...

Going on 10 months, now and what is important to our fearless leader and our governemnt energies and focus?

Jobs?
Home values?
bank bail outs?
insurer bailouts?
auto bail outs?
immigration?
oil?
wars?

all the conditions and policy problems that lead to those problems?

and then, what really matters?































health care costs...er...accesibility...err...insurance...reform...thingy...


Imagine how that will turn out given his good works on those other lesser issues.

Now that Wilson is out of the way and Pelosi has made it clear how dangerous and potentially violent the Teabaggers are I expect gun control to be top priority. That and shutting up those that are spurring on the potential violence (conservative talk). So, gun control and The Fairness Doctrine.

I thought getting re-elected was his top priority, that's why he is still in campaign mode and is always on TV.

To be fair -

If you repair the health care problem effectively - you can substantially handle the growing debt.

IF you can fix it without making it worse. IF you can figure out how to lower health care costs.

Think about it. How would our budget look, if health care *costs* were as low as they are in the rest of the Western world?

Agree, but I would start with 1 billion and invest it into hiring 10-15 thousand investigators to look into the fraud, waste, and abuse with the current system. What foundation can the Government ever stand on with systems they created that have failed and are bankrupt. This is one instance where a reset button cannot be pushed.

I thought it was identifying and quieting right wing extremists.

His top priority is paying back the special interests that elected him.

He already did that with the Stimulati.
