Well it's almost game time... now, being a Philadelphia resident you might think I'm talking about next week when the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Arizona Cardinals for the NFC championship - which they will, in what also I think will ultimately turn out to be an all Pennsylvania Super Bowl 43. However, as much as I am looking forward to the Steelers being taken down due to other personal vendettas, I am of course talking about another game all together... The Presidency of the United States.
On January 20th, 2009 the clock officially starts ticking and everything from thereon is officially on Obama’s watch. For those of you paying any attention there are a few minor things the current president elect has vowed to tackle... Will he be able to? What bridges will he be forced to burn? How will the media whom remain in a state of utter euphoria handle the inevitable failures many of us are expecting? Regardless, we shall all be witness.

Below is a tiny list of things Obama has promised to take care of, I may have missed a thing or to so please don't be shy and feel free to remind me.
