3. Appoint a new cabinet and get the idiots in the Senate to "advise and consent".
4. appoint somewhere in the neighbourhood of 6 or 7 thousand new assistants to the assistant.
5. Attend world leader meetings.
6. Try and come up with proposals that see to it that Wall Street does not go FUBAR again.
7. etc., etc.
As long as he does not do all the rotten things that were being done before I am content, what was the poem
"If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, someday you will be a man my son" or something like that.
I won't pretend to have all the answers all I know is despite catastrophic health insurance (yeah, we have it) if I were to get a serious illness they would likely throw my wife out into the street just so some effing hospital can get paid. And they would plug me into every expensive machine they have just for the $$$$.

You know what, the sawbones murdered my father - in -law. '70's something years old, he needed a pacemaker, but they talked him into five bi-passes (didn''t know you could do FIVE". But his insurance was as good as gold.
The only way the tough old bastard made it for as long as he did was because he was deterimined not to die in the hospital.
Came home on an afternoon, died that evening.
I'll just say one thing. I would rather die impaled on a steering column, drunker than Cooter Brown, than to die in a hospital.
Being born is one thing, dying is about a personal as it gets. And I don't much care how I die , to a certain extent...ain't into pain...long as it ain't in a hospital.
If the do gooders come for me, I WILL use them to light my way to the New World.
And that's a fact, Jack...don't fuck with me....
