What would any intelligent voter want?? He should keep his campaign promises which he is already "back peddling" on.

Not a lot. It's going to take a least the length of his 4 year term to try to straighten out the economy. He faces the sames challenges that Bush did.

I expect him to sit back and do nothing. The democrat machine will run everything. He's merely their puppet. He's such a moron. He will sign whatever comes across his desk because that's what he was told he had to do.

He is going to fulfill obligations demanded of him in return for his presidency. He has a lot of outstanding markers to the far left who will destroy this country. I expect he will expand the level of corruption and greed in the government and the democratic party beyond its current limits.

You would think that he would attempt to keep his campaign promises, but he made so many. His supporters will not accept he does any thing wrong and his opposition will think he has not done anything right. I said before I will support him on the issues we agree upon, and respectfully disagree with him on the issues we do not agree upon.

Higher taxes, loss of the 1st amendment and possibly the 2nd ammendment. Fairness Doctrine within months, no more talk radio unless it is a liberal. Many companies to go bankrupt and the cost of fuel to sky rocket. Oh, and most likely a terrorist attack or two. That about sums it up for the first year....

Actually I'm not expecting that much. If he just undoes some of the damage Bush does, reverses the country's direction, that would be a lot.
Just for starters, at the very least, I expect him to revisit all of Bush's 'executive orders', which he promises now to do. I would like to see torture once again banned, the end of secret prisons, reinstatement of the Bill of Rights, habeas corpus, FISA compliance, etc.
I'd like to see more reasonable budgets, the end of trying to balance the budget by spending more and taxing less. Clinton did a great job here and Obama could do just as well.
I'd like to see the government once again populated by experts instead of political cronies. I want him to appoint people who actually know what they're doing. A commitment to actually doing their jobs rather than use the job only for political purposes and to loot the treasury.
I'd like to see some prudent re-regulation of major industries, particularly Wall Street and financial industries. The Reagan/Bush/Bush plan of complete total deregulation has been discredited. Too much regulation is bad but too little regulation is worse.
Those are the big things. I don't know how quickly he'd be able to withdraw troops from Iraq or solve the health care crisis, if at all. Anything bold and new and daring he tries to do will be fought tooth and nail by the Republicans. But if he just gets a 'C', he will be two grades above Bush.

Cut the military down...
Raise taxes to support the socialist ideas which for some reason 52?f America likes but will be paying for in the end...
Try to create a dependence for the government...
"Free" healthcare, something our Canadian friends up north have told us over and over that it is a really bad idea...

I am expecting him to continue to pursue the same agenda he had in Illinois. Lets examine. One of the highest state taxes in the country. One of the worst average MEAP scores in the country. One of the highest crime rates in the country. Voting 4 seperate times for bills that were aiming at making it legal for a baby to be killed when it was born "alive" as the result of a failed abortion attempt. Voting for kindergarden classes to receive educational materials that explain sexual acts, in explicit fashion. I am expecting him to raise taxes because all his platform documents say he will. I expect him to cost many americans their jobs as he "attacks" those people making over $200 grand a year because most of those people are employers, and they will be forced to cut expenses, or raise prices to overcome the added tax burdon, and you people really thought he would "shift" their money into your pocket? How will a tax cut, (which won't happen anyway), but if it did, how will it impact your finances if you don't have a job anymore? Or if you have to turn around and spend more because business owners raised their prices? I am not saying John McCain was the answer, I am saying he was the better choice, of the two.

Everything that he promised:
1. Immediate withdrawal of all troops from Iraq
2. Moving those same troops immediately into Pokistan to capture or kill Bin Laden, whether or not Pokistan approves.
3. Another series of tax rebate stimulous checks.
4. Free health care for everyone.
5. Restore the stock market to pre-911 conditions.
6. Make all vehicles run on solar, wind, and hydrogen power so that we won't care what the price of gas is.
7. Reduce the net taxes for everyone making less than $250,000 (which necessarilly includes an offset to the Bush tax cuts).
8. Put young people to work via required service programs. I was very happy to hear him say, during his acceptance speech, that he expected them to get some calluses and sweat like 200+ years of our founders did before them, and the crowd entirely agreed. It's about time the slackers of America vonuteered to get some calluses, and that really impressed me.
If he delivers on these promises, I will absolutely vote for him in 2012. I can say that because the reality and truth is that he won't do a single one of these things... except #3 and especially #8. And I'm actually fine with that.

Let's see...where to start?? we will have even higher taxes, more job loss, more home loss, an attack on America (hopefully not, but he will not be able to handle it if it does happen). pretty dim outlook for the long run.
