As the election comes, I believe it will be close but Obama will come out as the victor. First term presidents always have to think about getting reelected. Seeing how this will not be the case for Obama what do you think or hope Obama will do policy wise.
Obviously he can't do everything but what are some things you hope he can get done as a second term prez. Some thing that I would like to see get addressed; equal rights for gay & lesbian couples, medicinal marijuana, health care, are to name just a few.
I'd like to see Gitmo closed but I just don't see that happening.
