10 decisions for Obama's next 100 days

Let's see what Obama plans to do in his next 100 days of office.

1. Fire another CEO, after GM CEO Rick Wagoner was fired?
According to Politico: "a financial firing would go a long way toward helping the Obama push back against complaints he’s been hard on the auto sector and easy on Wall Street. "

2. Go "nuclear" on health care?
Now that the Democrats have another Senate seat, Obama has the green light for passing health care legislation.

3. Deal with Gitmo and CIA interrogations.

4. Figure our stance on Israel and the Middle East.

5. Commencement speech at Notre Dame. 
According to Politico: "The commencement speech has not yet been written, but Obama aides suggest he’s likely to address the issue head-on in the manner he typically does when faced with a controversial topic. Expect him to stress the need to reduce the number of abortions."

6. Let Chrysler and GM go bankrupt?

7. Figure out some action for Pakistan.

8. Labor love: what to do about "legislation to make organizing unions easier, known as the Employee Free Choice Act."

9. Win on Energy Policy or risk loosing Democrats?
"Obama sees the so-called “cap and trade” plan as a win-win — cutting global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and shifting the U.S. toward cleaner energy." Maybe he can rely on Specter?

10. Finally, figure out where to spend his vacation....
