3. respectfully I must disagree
If you read his speeches, his website, his policy statements, or those of his surrogates you would know what he intends. Now whether or not he can enact these things and get them passed remains to be seen, but he has been anything but silent about his plans. Examples of this would be: gradual withdrawal from iraq, encouraging diplomacy with countries we have ideological differances with (something bush refused to do), limiting our dependance on foreign oil through "green energy and infrastructure" spending programs (possibly akin to a WPA, neo- New Deal), targeted tax cut for the middle class to spur consumer spending (the only way our economy will grow soundly), and his plan for a nation healthcare plan-although I do admit his cost saving measures won't amount to the $2500 he says some have predicted in savings per year for the average family.
