January 20, 2009: The In Box
October 15, 2008 4:20 PM
The New Yorker put it this way: "So much of the Presidency...is a matter of waking up in the morning and trying to drink from a fire hydrant." Well, to extend the metaphor -- the next president may all but choke on the water flying out of that hydrant. Imagine the in-box facing President McCain -- or Obama. How would you rank the challenges? Here's our list:
1) Jump-Starting the Economy
2) Pakistan & Afghanistan
3) The Housing Mess (a subset of "1", really)
4) Iraq
5) Health Care
6) Energy
7) Climate Change
8) Trade
9) Education
10) Immigration

President Obama has a plan for all 10 (including Sunil's 11).
So stop panicking.
Just go to the polls now (if you live in an early voting state) or on Nov. 4th and vote for President Barack Obama.
