Obviously, Bush needs to continue working with Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat to reach a peace agreement between their bitterly divided sides. Clinton has been a visibly strong leader in attempting to reach an agreement, and Bush should do his best to follow his lead in this delicate process that will reach another critical point this week.

So far, we haven't heard much from Bush about what his explicit intentions are when it comes to forming his foreign policy.

American citizens and world leaders, including U.S. allies, are concerned that he hasn't shown much interest in international affairs.

The possibility of building a national missile defense system could increase tensions with Russia and China and place unwanted stress on the delicate relationship we already have with them

Bush must to formulate some foreign solid policy ideas on national defense and other issues and share them with the rest of the country.

While Bush has focused more on home front issues, maintaining relationships and a good image in the global community is equally important.

The Clinton Administration has done a great job building a strong economy and increasing employment rates. Bush needs to build consumer confidence and do what he's been promising us all: tax cuts that would help all Americans.

This would encourage consumers, in theory, to spend more money, adding revenue to the economy to keep it working as efficiently, if not better, than it has been.

Because education reform was one of Bush's main campaign goals, we should see plenty of action in this area. Bush wants to increase and improve standardized testing in public schools.

In addition, he has tossed around the idea of financially rewarding or penalizing schools, according to their educational performances. A system of rewards and penalties could increase motivation among schools to have higher standards for their students. With a budget surplus, Bush should distribute more money to the states to improve their classrooms.

It's time to finally pass legislation to restrict soft money campaign contributions, the unlimited and unregulated funds that corporations, labor unions and wealthy individuals pour into political parties. Campaign finance reform has been a huge issue, especially in this election.

The issue would prove his dedication to bipartisanship in Washington.
