Reply #9: End of torture, withdrawal from Iraq, end of military hostilites, restore diplomacy

[merh]

end to no-bid contracts, provide health care, protect voting rights, ensure civil rights for all, restore the DOJ as the people's counsel, address climate change, protect the environment, etc - most of these issues will take time to address/correct. Eight years of destruction cannot be corrected overnight.

The one thing bushco did well was to create scandal by abusing the office and ignoring their obligations to the citizens - their administration created "scandal fatigue" and it has to be daunting to step into their mess and to realize how deep it is, how widespread.

most important thing for Obama, appoint SCOTUS justices that know and understand the constitution and their duty to the citizens (as opposed to the corporations and a ruling party).
