Okay, you're the President. What will you do?
I'll keep it simple. It'll be my initiative to mount an enormous, united, unprecedented war on.... cancer. And have it cured within 10 years. I want to be the president who cured cancer.
I'll throw huge amounts of money at research, I mean tens of billions, and will piss off a lot of people by cloning the crap out of human embryos along the way, but all will be forgiven when they and their families are eventually cured from otherwise terminal illnesses that affect all socioeconomic classes indiscriminately.
This effort will spawn new technologies in health care, likely cure other diseases along the way (maybe diabetes or Alzheimers), and inspire countless young Americans to pursue careers in science as I'm sure the space program did in the Sixties. The benefits will reach all corners of the Earth, and American ingenuity and compassion will be respected and celebrated, again.
Let's refocus and get our ducks in a row; you can't be worried about terrorism or the price of oil when you're in the hospital wrestling with cancer.
What about you? What will be your presidential legacy?
