The next four years

Thank God Obama won, thanks to a lot of people's hard work and tenacity
but let's see some changes in the next four years. Congressional Republicans
should be made to cooperate this time around. This is what I'd like to see:

A real investigation into voter suppression, padding, eliminating, electronic voting machines etc.
so we don't have a repeat of Bush v Gore or even these past elections in Ohio, Florida, et al.

Some of the promises made originally by Obama come to fruition.

Troops really leaving Afghanistan.

A real climate change plan and an audacious energy plan put into action. Global energy companies are
way ahead of us and are claiming land here...

A buy-in to Medicare for those under 65

Real justice on the Supreme Court and in the Justice Dept. Clean house.

And this time around, sell anything positive done by the White House loudly, clearly and in simple language
even the right-wing nuts can wrap their pea brains around. The message was so unclear this time around.
PR isn't rocket science. Do it right this time.

I wouldn't blame Hillary for wanting to step down as Sec. of State.
