If you were President what would be your top priority for the country? And Why?

Ok, for the person who answered "LOWER GAS PRICES," you are completely uneducated. The president can't lower gas prices. NATO is mostly in charge of that. He could help by getting the senate to drill in Alaska for oil. (back to the question)\n\nI have to say Close down the borders. That is a security issue for the United States. ANYONE can go through the Mexican or Canadian border, which could cause another Terrorist Attack if we're not careful. The Mexicans are trying to take over America. We need to do something with them, and fast. \n\nThe Liberals believe they should all become citizens so they will vote "Democrat" in the next election. The Liberals have no idea what the Mexicans will do to our country. People say "oh we need them, they do the work that Americans don't do!" Well, what did the Egyptians find out when they had no water...MOVE toward the Nile...meaning find an alternative way of completing the task.

You could also be president of the United States.  Our current president has a felony background I believe.  He used(??) to be a cocaine addict.  Some say he still is.

I'd say one of the most pressing issues would include the US occupation of Iraq.  I'm sure you can find lots of historical data and speculations about the future conclusion.

Since I am a musician first thing I would do is pass a law banning getting up before 10am.\n\nOn a serious note,\n\nThe President has very little power that can be wielded in one day. Outside of signing an executive order that could be turned over by congress or the court. However if I had the ability to pass any laws this is some of what I would do. I do thank the founding fathers for being smart enough to create our Government so no one person has this type of power, even if everyone of my ideas are the right thing to do. \n\n1. Abolish the IRS, go to a VAT tax which is the only fair way to do taxes. With a max tax cap of 10%\n\n2. Ban the murder of the innocent unborn babies via needless abortions.\n\n3. Give me (the President) a line item veto to get rid of pork spending. Change that get rid of all pork barrel spending. Outside of defense, roads and public safety there is not much more this government needs to be doing anyway. \n\n4. Allow for the drilling of oil off shore and in Alaska.

To work on becoming energy self sufficient as a country by 2025.\n\nBalance the budget.\n\nAffordable health care coverage for everyone.

To please stay in bed until 2008. \n\nWe don't need any more wars or loss of jobs or corporations/churches taking over the USA. If his party continues their idiocy, we will be just like Afghanistan.\nI would want him to know that his No Child Left Behind program is a big mess and that his appointment of Margaret Spellings was a sad day for education.

Boost the morale of my country rather than incite the rest of the world... Spend the 500 billion dollars on improving my country and not fighting with someone else...  inspire, lead, motivate, protect, love... not hate, fight, kill...\n\naren't these so obvious?

I would get out of Iraq and take back the tax cuts for the wealthy; move that money towards welfare and education. I would also limit the powers of president as I think it can easily be abused by Bush types, especially if they can actually speak, like Ronald Reagan. If we had a neo-con president who had Bush's views but Clinton's speaking skills I would be afraid for our country. I would also just give up trying to tell lies to the people because they voted for me and it always comes back to haunt you later.

I'd make sure the people knew that illegal immigration would not be tolerated.  I would then make sure that the NSA wire tapping program is brought in line with law, reaffirm the United States' commitment to the Kyoto Accords and begin work to reduce the horrible environmental policies that have been let loose on our land the past few years.  I have a ton more but since the question allows me only one day....I'm limited...

It would be to raise my children to the best of my knowledge and help them to be the best up right citizens of this country and to have respect, integrety, hopefulness, willingness, compassion, strength, sympathy, helpfulness, and among other things treat people the way that they want to be treated and to behave like poeple should. Not go out killing, doing drugs, stealing, robbing, murdering, or anything else that is not morally right. I hope that I have the strength and courage to bring up two up standing citizens and all around well behaved persons that the country, friends, family, teachers, counselors, pastors, and I can be proud of and see what all of my hard work has accomplished for the past umteen years. That is the one goal that I wish to reach. And also have my children to tell me mom we understand why you and dad done the things that you did to help us and to make us understand that there are reasons for the groundings, taking things away, making us have manners, and making us the very best persons that we can be.  Thanks wonderful question.
