    Time to stop campaigning and be president

    Will someone — hello, Michelle — tell President Obama that he won the election, that he is the President of the United States and that he should turn off the campaign mode and go into winner mode! If people don’t like what he does, hey, he is president of the United States and does what he wants.

    America needs universal health care

    I think as a nation, we have reached the time to move forward and structure our health care system like all other advanced nations. We need universal health care. As someone who is currently unemployed and preparing to start up a new business, this is yet another headache to endure. COBRA coverage is prohibitively expensive and

    private insurance options are limited — most are only available if one is self-employed. Think about our businesses, small and large — what a boost they would get if the burden of providing health insurance were lifted? Let’s move into the 21st century by catching up with what almost every other advanced nation

    has done.

    U.S. must set a better example

    An example needs to be set for illegal activity such as torture and spying on Americans as well as misleading the American public into the war in Iraq. If we do nothing, what type of example are we setting for future generations?
