Why Obama Should Not Be the Next President of USA

[Drolefille]

Without looking at the website:
-Fixing NCLB and rewarding teachers on a merit-based system.
-Ending the war in Iraq.
-Focus on the war in Afghanistan and on finishing it.
-No censorship on cable but an call for advertisements to be shown appropriately and for parents to take responsibility.
-Keep religion out of policies and laws.
-Repeal Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy and lower taxes for the middle class.
-Have an optional health care plan available for everyone that equals the congressional health plan and for those who wish to keep private insurance, lower premiums and costs. (Note: Children would be required to have insurance either private or public, adults would not.)
-Refocus the health care system on prevention, not treatment.
-Increased grants, scholarships, loans for college students with the requirement of some sort of public service in return.
-Stop torturing prisoners.
-Reduce our dependence on foreign oil and reduce emissions.
-Take the money we're spending in Iraq and invest in the infrastructure of our country.
-Consider how to address Social Security by raising the cap on the amount paid in for those with an income over $200,000 (proposed only)

-Work rationally to accomplish these things. This means working with Republicans not alienating them. It may mean sacrificing a "perfect" solution to get to one that will pass.
