48 Hours

In less than 48 hours the two year campaign will be over and the new President and the new Congress will be in controll. Or at least in as much controll as a democratically elected government can be. What I expect from them is that they tackle the hard problems: less nation building abroad and more nation building at home. I want to see us out of Iraq and a plan to get out of Afghanistan. I want to see regulations that will prevent a repeat of the financial collapse. I want to see a major effort to end our dependence on oil, foreign or domestic and the development of renewable energy sources. I want serious people doing serious things that have been well thought out.
