This post is just bringing up my personal belief that the term for the president of the United States should be different.
Here is my opinion: I think the president's term should be extended to 10 years from 4 years; however, at that time the president cannot be reelected. Why? Because the president wastes half of his first term trying to get reelected for his second term. If he was elected for the full duration (with no hope of reelection) then he can focus all of his time on running the nation efficiently. He doesn't have to 'save' any special programs until an election year to make him look good. He can just do his damn job without having to worry about getting enough money to run again. This could be the first change help loosen the strangle hold that Big Business has over the government.
But with this I think that laws should be passed to allow THE PEOPLE a way to push an impeachment on the president with this plan. Maybe that during every 4 years (so two times during his term) there is a "impeachment vote" where the people can vote and if the vote is more than 75% (just throwing out numbers) the president is impeached. This keeps the president focused on doing his job and keeping the public aware of how well he is doing his job.

Foreign Affairs
This post is a relatively short post, because the message is simple.
Focus on America and less on the rest of the world.
Notice I said "less" I didn't say stop focusing or listening to the rest of the world, but focus all this attention fighting terrorism abroad to fighting hunger, illiteracy, homelessness, joblessness, and more of our country's problems.
We need to help ourselves before trying to help the rest of the world. Also there needs to be even bigger punishments for companies that are outsourcing American jobs overseas. Nothing like having your job be pulled out from under you to have it sent overseas. Nothing like trying to get tech help for an American product when the tech person's accent is so thick you can't understand what they are saying. If people from outside America want to have American jobs, let them come here and become an American citizen and then get chosen over me in an interview. At least then I'll know my job will be going to an American.
