First I would cut funding to all of the time/money sink-holes like the Mars and Moon missions as well as Iraq. Then I would, of course, leave Iraq because it's obviously a waste of time and I'd have better things to do. Next I would throw a bunch of money into building green power and as a result, making the old dirty plants obsolete. Then I would throw some more money into the CO2 -> fuel technologies, and then build lots of those. As a result I will have removed most of the oil dependencies and the country would now be carbon-neutral. Next I pump a certain percentage of the fuel the country was producing and pump it down the empty oil wells. As a result I will have made the country carbon... negative? Next I would hire all of the brilliant minds and make them come up with solutions for all of the various problems with the country, and then I'd implement the best solutions.
Finally at the end of my term I would donate all of the good states (nothern/blue) to Canada, creating the new province of "South Canada". As for the rest of the states, eh screw 'em. This is their punishment for voting Bush.
