Inaugural Hopes for the Next Four Years

  1. The economy dominated the responses.
  2. @WSJ I would like to see fiscally viable plans for promises made. Also, accountability for promises broken. #next4years
  3. @WSJ More investment and tax breaks to help small businesses. This country was made successful by innovation #next4years
  4. @WSJ Get started on fixing income inequality and reverse the slide of working- and middle-class wages. #next4years
  5. @WSJ reign in spending so we don't continue to add to the burden of our future generations. #next4years
  6. Those with environmental concerns also had a lot of ideas.
  7. @WSJ #next4years. I'd like to see the President focus on water in the West and how we can prepare for the effects of climate change on it.
  8. @WSJ Address the real cost of energy and how it affects EVERY facet of our economy. #next4years
  9. Some expressed skepticism that anything good can come from this president's second term.
  10. @WSJ Hopefully nothing. The less he accomplishes from his agenda the better off the country will be. #next4years
  11. Other want to see momentum from the first term accomplishments sustained.
  12. @WSJ #next4years enact ammo control and eliminate assult rifles from the streets. Allergy tablets=already regulated. bullets=anything goes
  13. @WSJ we desperately need to slow the growth in health care spending. That's number one in the #next4years
  14. Foreign policy was priority one for some. 
  15. @WSJ #next4years I want answers from the @BarackObama administration and the @whitehouse on #Benghazi. No one has been brought to justice.
  16. Finally, a wish that many shared and retweeted was for a more civil discourse in Washington.
  17. @wsj president needs to lead the art of compromise; not delegate to others #next4years
  18. @WSJ I would like to see a continued effort to move more towards bipartisanship. Our politics are too polarized. #next4years
