REPLIES TO THE CURRENT QUESTION

Our question last week was:

What is the most important New Year's resolution that Barack Obama should make?

Here are your answers.  The name of a writer is included only if he or she actually placed a name at the end of the message.  Otherwise, we assume the writer wished anonymity and "name withheld" is inserted.

"I Barack Hussein Obama resolve to wake up every morning that I am President and re-read the oath of office that I took on inauguration day and re-commit myself to carrying it out in both letter and intent."

President-elect Obama should follow up on his decisions to (1) back away from the culture wars and (2) move to the center on tax policy by pledging the following:

"I resolve to back off on the radical 'green' policies of my appointees to avoid undermining any benefits of my path of economic moderation."

I hope he makes a resolution that he'll use all means at his disposal to keep United States Citizens safe from invasion, insurrection, and subversion.
