He's got a majority in the House, a near-filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, and -- I've heard repeatedly -- a "mandate." What he wants to do, he can do. Here's my short list of what Obama and the Democrats won't do in the next four years:

1. Repeal the Patriot Act
2. Repeal the Protect America Act or the FISA Amendments Act (warrantless wiretapping)
3. Repeal the Military Commissions Act
4. Repeal the Authorization for Use of Military Force
5. Remove all US troops from Iraq (not just a few)
6. Remove any significant number of US troops from Afghanistan
7. Repeal the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
8. Rein in, in any way, the War on Drugs
9. Reduce federal spending in the slightest

Sorry to rain on your euphoria, but Obama -- like McCain -- is just another power-seeking politician: out to rule your life, and totally uncaring about your freedom.
