An adage that many politicians cite says, “to govern is to choose.” With a partner, scan the articles in today’s USA TODAY and list five significant choices that President-elect Barack Obama will have to make (e.g., whether to end the war in Iraq). Briefly describe the importance of each choice in writing. Then, adopt the role of Obama and imagine that due to circumstances beyond your control, you are only able to make two of the choices on your list. Explain which two choices you would make and how inaction on the other three would affect Americans and/or the world.
