Inaugaration Eve

Well tomorrow we get a New President.. I can't imagine a tougher job, Well maybe suicide bomber, but being President of the United States even in great times is a difficult job but during this time of economic problems, The Middle East, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. Can't forget the morons in North Korea and Iran and long term China and possibly the reborn Russia.

There are so many other things like unemployment, Balance of Trade, lack of domestic Manufacturing, Rising National debt, Health Care. Everyone who has a job should be paying taxes and this brings us into how can the US control illegal immigration? I know there is no easy answer but it can't go unaddressed for the well being of the country and people who want to work. What about energy, specifically OIL. Is the answer solar, wind, bio fuels? Obviously we could add to the supply by drilling in Alaska and I cannot believe that it is such a terrible environmental problem. If I were President I would mandate the old 55 MPH and demand the limit be enforced. I would demand that cars become much more fuel efficient. How about no car built here or imported allowed to get less than 30 MPG.

So what do you think? What does President Obama have to do and do quickly? What is the answer to energy?
