The Candidate's New Clothes

Bad news for Obama

My Wish List

I want the next President to get us out of Iraq. I want the President to have a pragmatic Israel/Palestine policy that will not involve blind eyes and empty buzz words. I want my next President to stop the Don't Ask Don't Tell. And I want my next President to end the losing war on drugs. And by the way, stop the war on sex, too.

I know it's a lot to ask, and I haven't even touched on economic matters. And I know you've had a tough few weeks and a tougher battle still awaits you.

So tonight, I'm not going to ask any of these things. Instead, let me just congratulate you.

But if and when you are the President, remember my wish list. Keep me in your thoughts. I know I'm just a man with a list, and I know all I can do is imagine you can hear me. But I have to believe I'm not the only one.

Sincerely,
