Predictions for Obama's first year

Charlie and I are writing down what we think Barack Obama will do in his first year as the president of the USA.
Let's see in one year if he is meeting our expectations:

Charlie:
- Close Gitmo
- Reverse Stem Cell ban
- Schedule removal of troops from Iraq by 12/31/10
- Increase NIH budget more than 5%
- Expand Americorps

Audrey:
- Bring more than half the troops back from Iraq
- End the ban on Embryonic Stem Cell research
- Stop the embargo on Cuba
- Start Universal Health Insurance
- Increase funding for green energy more than 10%
