    Ending the war in Iraq

    Ending the illegal war of choice will help fix the economy, by not spending $10b a month on nothing. It will also improve foreign relations

    Our economy is still struggling, even with the historical and welcomed election of Barrack Obama to the presidency. I hope he can help.

        Until we're on a more sound economic track, we can't do much about the other stuff. And, whatever we do will take time. No magic wand.
