For all of you who wanted "Change!"

What kind of changes are you hoping for, with Obama in office, and a Democratic House of Representatives and Senate? What do you think or hope will happen with the US and the world to make it a better place and life more worth living?

Please, HOPING for... .not what you FEAR will happen. That would be a nice companion thread, though.

I hope the Congress actually does its job and doesn't just rubberstamp everything that comes out of the White House. That would be a nice CHANGE.

I hope Obama does something so absolutely appalling that it teaches the American people that they cannot sit back and let the political winds take them. I want the other party to fuck up to bring vigilance and cynicism back to the American people.

It's a pity Presidents have to be scapegoats at the moment, Bush and Obama, but if in the long run it makes people understand that even if the President is in it for truly altruistic motives (yeah right), they are only human and they can't satisfy everyone.

Oh no, you're paying for me to get a higher education, and that money would only come if I put hours towards community service!

Oh GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

Handling the situation in the middle east a little better by leaving Iraq and not increasing tensions with Iran.

America won't leave Iraq anytime soon. When will you guys get it. No matter who the President is we're still in Iraq for a while.

And anything is better then the Bush Administration or past 8 years.

I hope Obama does something so fantastic people realize that just because their candidate lost doesn't necessarily mean the other guy's supporters just followed the crowd and didn't make an informed decision.

There is a little quote that has served me well in the past: "Things can usually be better, but they can ALWAYS be worse."
Do not assume that it will automatically be better, or use better criteria. What will be better?

The Economy: unemployment go down? Stock market go up?
Energy: Drill for Oil? More or ban Nuclear power plants? Build gigantic solar collection satalite?
International relations: More countries like America again?
Middle East: Leave Iraq? More Stable? Peace in Isreal?
Taxes: higher or lower, and for who?
Social Security: Fixed?
Health Care? Reform? National Health Care?
Border Security? Border wall? Amnesty?
International Treaties? Kyoto? NAFTA? SALT2?

you get the idea. What (in particular) do you think will change, and will it benifit just you, or society as a whole? Will it benifit the US, or will it be an American sacrifice to make the rest of the world better?

Ok, I am a republican. I am hard working. Why do you get more money and I get less?
Because you are against gay people getting married.

No, I'm not. I also am pro-choice. I am not a creationist. I am not an Evangalist. I am also not rich, don't own a cooperation, or plot the downfall of the world to unite it under a 'one world government.' But I am still a republican.

well considering he isn't even president yet (only president-elect) it's not like he can snap his hands and make tuition cheaper... yet

I for one am glad that we'll get universal health care (unless he turns out to be a fucking two timer, I hope he's not)... no more worries for my mother regarding insurance

He had time in the Illinois senate to do something if he was such a "champion of change". Heck I entered a year after he left the Illinois senate. That all said, I'm glad he's el presidente-elect and not McCain. I don't think he'll shake things up as much as people are thinkin though.
