I am extremely optimistic that President Obama is going to win. So I am allowing myself to envision his 2nd term and here is what I would like to see happen in it. I realize that many of these things may not be that realistic. I encourage anyone who reads this to add their own wishes in the comments.
- more liberal SCOTUS judges appointed as the retirements come
- legislation that reverses the effects of the Citizens United SCOTUS decision and strengthens campaign finance reform
- return of the Fairness Doctrine in broadcasting
- immigration reform
- Expansion of Medicare and/or a Public Option added to 'Obamacare'
- repeal of DOMA if the SCOTUS does not invalidate it
- New programs for small business loans, grants, or other kinds of funding for minority-owned businesses
- more student loan repayment and loan forgiveness options
- more/greater tax credits for hybrid and electric vehicle purchases
- new public works programs dedicated to alternative energy sources and environmental cleanup
- a greater commitment and investment in Space exploration. Land people on Mars within 10 years.
