For his first task as president, Barack Obama said Friday he’ll call in the nation’s top military officials and “tell them we have a new mission”: End the war in Iraq. Next on the list is reforming the nation’s health-care system, so everyone in the nation has basic health care and costs are reduced for families and businesses. And, third, craft a new energy policy that “requires a shift away from the sort of wasteful energy usage of the past, and to develop alternative fuels like solar, wind and biodiesel,” Obama said in an interview on his campaign bus near the Montana Tech campus.
