President Obama’s agenda is still on track. This week his major policy initiative, the Health Bill will face a final showdown. The President has kept Health Care in the forefront of his agenda, pushing for the whole pie, instead of pieces of the plan, which would be more assured of passage.

The revival of the economy, through further stimulus measures is still on the agenda. Though a comprehensive and expensive stimulus program will not pass, here the President is going to push smaller programs, with a goal of putting America back to work. Strengthening Social Security and the education system is still being pushed as witnessed by recent Obama pronouncements.

Energy independence and climate change initiatives are still on the burner. The President has again vowed to increase support for Green measures along with an increase in power derived from nuclear reactors.

In the realm of foreign policy, he is intent on winding down the Iraqi involvement but is determined to carry out the mission in Afghanistan. This is witnessed by his increased use of drones, far more intensive than that of the Bush administration. President Obama is still determined to prevent the Iranians from developing nuclear weapons. How this can be accomplished is still a mystery.
