A satirical view of the new presidency
Thank goodness we have voted the Republicans out of office with the support of The Daily Herald.
Now the new president can:
1. Do away with proposed off shore drilling - obviously supported by Sen. Richard Durbin our favorite liberal.
2. Stop the proposed drilling in Utah.
3. Get rid of Gitmo.
4. Get stem cell research paid for by the government.
5. Regulate emissions on SUVs, lawn mowers and passing gas.
6. Kill the coal industry and cause electricity prices to zoom.
7. Force the auto industry to cut emissions by 30 percent and increase mileage to 36 mpg between 2009 and 2016. Of course this will require bigger and bigger bailouts.
8. Plus a lot more.
All this will be done without Congressional approval. Hail to the king.
