1) Try not to start any wars. AFAICT, all US wars have been started when a single of the two parties controlled the Executive and Legislative branch.

2) Create transparency in government. Kill the pork. The People are empowered enough now to educate ourselves, we just don't have the tools. Blogs on all sides of the issues shed light on what interests them. Give them the tools to filter the raw legislation to it's finest degree and the general public will be informed. We will of course have to dissect our news more instead of relying on talking heads to spoon feed us. The ones who care will dissect, the masses will find new talking heads to follow.

3) Repair Infrastructure. Holy crap is it bad. Bridges falling, rolling blackouts, poor tornado warning systems, etc, etc, etc. National security isn't just a big military.

4) Independent energy, from whatever source necessary short of bombing brown people. Solar, wind, nuke, hydro, methane... hell, poor people pedaling bicycles hooked to generators, just something. We need to get off of the Mid East teat. Corn ethanol is a joke.

Everything after that is Mai-Tais and shuffleboard.
