[Georgia]

i think that barck should take care of the economy and lower taxes then he should take care of the ENVIORMENT and help prevent Globaal Warming wich my brother thinks is a myth!!:)

[Jackie]

The safety and freedom of our country is the most important. When money becomes more important to us than our freedom, then we have a huge problem.

[Savannah]

It should be getting the U.S. out of this economic crisis, and back on our feet.

[Michael]

First of all, you should probaly nationalize healthcare, although, you might want to lower the taxes, because its a pain in the neck.

[Teague]

Take out troops in the war.

[Emily]

I think he should start with the economic crises.He should do so because the first and middle class people are going under in debt. My mom and I have to start to stop going out to eat and paint for our house.

[Austin]

He should lowwer the taxes.

[holly]

barak obama sould save pandas.in china there dieing

[Jacob]

I think Obama should lower gas prices,lower taxes and make health care less exspensive.

[Destiny]

I think that Barack Obama shoud say there is know more war because a lot of people are die.

[Daniel]

I think he should try to stop deforestnation because it releases CO2 into the atomnosphere speeding up global warming.

[Alexander]

I think Barak Obama should lower gas prices. He should because people need money and if he does it people will really like him. So thats why I think Barak Obama should lower gas prices for his first priority.

[julian]

I think Barack Obama should raise gas prices.

[Jessica]

I think barak obama should stop global warming because it is killing our planet.

[Dilly]

I think that Barack Obama should low tax rate.

[Morgan]

I think he should start the economic crises first because of the taxes and gas prices.The reason why is because that way people can go out to eat, go shopping without paying too much gas and tax money.

[Colin]

I think Barack should pull troops from Iraq and Afganastan omg,that will help us a lot.

[matthew]

i think Barack Obama should lower the gas prices and taxes.

[Naomi]

I think that Barak Obama is going to blow up the hole planet.

[zach]

I think Barack Obama will be a great new change for our country!!!

[Adam]

Barack Obama is going all the way with the war. He is doing the right thing to STOP war.

[Antony]

Stoping the war

[Tanner]

I think the a priority should be peoples health care.

[zach]

I think the first thing Barack Obama should do is stop the war.

[paige]

President Elect Obama should first let the men out of war because too many of them are getting killed

[Sam]

I think president Obama's first priority should be to find alternitive energy. Because we are spending too much money on foreign oils.

[Thomas]

I think President elect Obama's first priority should be to bring the troops home and try and make peace with other coutries so the other countries don't do more stuff like 9/11.

[Maddie]

I think Barack Obama's first priority should be children's healthcare because everyone deserves to be able to visit a doctor.

[Morgan]

My opinon is that Barack Obama' first priorty should be children's education. I think this because all children should have the chance for education in this country. So as you can see that is why I think Barack Obama's first priorty should be children's education.

[Libby]

I think his first priority should be to stop the war in Iraq and Aphganistan. This should be his first priority because we don't want any more of our Americans being hurt or killed. We also spend a lot of money in Iraq and Aphganistan ever month!!! THat is what his first priority should be!

[Brandon]

I think Obama should stop the war in Iraq.

[Antony]

Obama ruuuuuuuules

[Molly]

i think that Barack Obama should be fouced on childres health to save more kids and not put there life in jeperdoy because he might not care.our country needs to be protected and so does the children in it. it is very important that he has a good health plan for children to save our country and love the children throught-out it.

[Jennifer]

I think Barack Obama should think about the oil prices more.Then more people can stop spending so much money on gas.Some families are poor and they have to drive a car to go to work and they need more money so that they can put food on the table.

[John]

I think president Obama first priority should be to stop the war with Iraq. Because we should all live in peace!!

[alea]

I think one of his prioritys should be stoping the war because families are loseing there kids,husbands, and wives.

[Nick]

I think Barack Obamas first priority should be to finish the job in Iraq and get Bin-lodan.I think that because you cant talk with people like that because they are so hungry to kill Americans, they will comit sueiside to do it and Barack Obama sais he wants to sit down at dinner with the Presedent of Iraq and have a talk to end the war.Well of course they wont say "okay we will make peace even though we are devoted to killing you".And what do you think will happen next after Barack Obama brings the troops home? Desaster!They will come over hare! But I dont Expect Barack Obama to see that coming or stop it because he sais"bring the troops home". But that will never happen , because he is a Democrat.

[Kate]

Dear Mr.Barack Obama,
I think you should do good things for America. I think one of the first things you should tackle ishelp stop global warming. It is a very big problem in the world and because of it many animals could endangered or worse extinct. Thank-you,
Kate

[sue]

I think president-elect Obama should try to solve problems with the economy first. People are losing their jobs and having a difficult time supporting their families. We need to create jobs as quickly as possible.

[Gwen]

I think that Oboma should give tax cuts only to people who need it. Not to gas conpunys!

[grace]
