Anyway, if Obama is re-elected, these are the things I'd like to see (which are inline with his views/policies):

- Immigration reform. The current system is a mess, and is keeping fantastic talent (read: me) from legally entering the country.

- Further progress in terms of gay marriage. I do not believe that gay marriage is a state issue. In fact, I believe that refusing to allow somebody to marry is unconstitutional. Full stop. And the Supreme Court would probably agree with me.

- I want him to honor state-level marijuana laws. He runs as this cool and happening President, who's inhaled marijuana smoke (because that is the point, you know), and yet he's run the most brutal campaign on the war on drugs that we've seen in decades - Federal agents are even raiding weed stores in states where they are legal. This is clearly unconstitutional. What happens when Colorado/Washington/Oregon votes to completely legalise it? What will Obama do then?

... and that's all about I can hope for out of a 2nd term Obama, and each point is even more unlikely than the last.

No point in even asking for budget cuts, regulatory cuts, tax cuts, ending wars, monetary reform. Just won't happen.
