Foreign aid. Obama proposed doubling US foreign aid, including a $2 billion annual Global Education Fund.

The First Dog, promised to the Obama children as a reward for their good behavior during the campaign. It must be hypo-allergenic. They would have preferred to get a shelter dog, but Obama says, "most of them are mutts like me."
