Although Mr. Obama has not publicly identified which priorities will have to wait, advisers and allies have signaled that they may put off renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement, overhauling immigration laws, restricting carbon emissions, raising taxes on the wealthy and allowing gay men and lesbians to serve openly in the military.
he said a few months ago that he would refrain from raising cap gains taxes for now, as he didn't want to adversely affect the economy-i am assuming that is what he meant about raising taxes on the wealthy...i thought it was interesting, since he had said it wouldn't affect the economy back when he was determined to raise them.


my biggest worry is this new package they (congress and the new pres) say they want to pass--it's a huge package, and will cause our debt to balloon tremendously...i just hate to see us try to get out of a crisis caused mainly from bad credit by using...credit.
