President Bush is gathering with top advisors this week. Somehow I didn't get my invitation; it must be lost in the mail. Maybe yours did too.
If you could attend the meeting, what would you tell the President? What should top his To Do List?
I'm making a list of my opening remarks to him and it starts like this.
1. Focus on alternative fuels. Set a goal (5 years) to have this country free from foreign oil. If Brazil can do it, we can.
2. Focus on Education. Improve education in sciences, math and languages. We are far behind other countries in our ability to compete in the global market
3. Focus on the law: If Americans are arrested for hiring illegal immigrants, those jobs would dry up and so would the illegal flow of immigrants. Help Mexico improve it's economy (think about annexing the whole place! Maybe turn it into a resort. Ask Disney for advice)
4. Focus on Consensus Opinions: Both within our own government and with foreign countries. Having friends will do more to stop terrorist attacks than trying to go it alone with a world full of enemies
5. Hire a decent FEMA director -- any military person knows more about disaster preparedness and personnel rescue than the ones currently running the place
6. Forget about the Gay Marriage thing. It's a bogus issue and shouldn't matter one whit. While you're at it, lose the religious fundamentalists; they are not creative thinkers nor good problem solvers.
7. Listen to Laura more than you do Cheney and Rummy
What else should be added? subtracted?
