What campaign promises will the Obama camp keep and which ones will they not?

Your opinion on which ones are the most important to the American people? Which ones will divide the country even more? What campaign promises will the Obama camp keep and which ones will they not?
Barack Obama's campaign promises, and what he is likely to do during the first few years of his administration, include:





DEFENSE





Get U.S. troops out of Iraq in the first 16 months of his presidency.





He now says he will shift forces and resources to Afghanistan. Furthermore, the Pentagon under Obama may not look much different than it does today. When and how he extricates troops from Iraq may depend on the security pact that U.S. officials negotiate with Iraqi lawmakers.





For Afghanistan, Obama has said he would add about 7,000 troops to the U.S. force of 33,000. Pentagon officials are poised to more than double that increase -- saying they need 15,000 to 20,000 more troops in Afghanistan.





Obama wants to increase the size of the Army, Marine Corps and special operations forces, efforts already under way. He has called for greater emphasis on counterinsurgency missions -- a move the military recognized as critical in the early years of the Iraq war, and began to implement.





Thus, military expenditures will continue to be greater than all the rest of the world combined under Obama--not much of an improvement.





STATE





Obama said he would place a premium on diplomacy over the use of force to solve disputes, and he pledged to maintain a robust diplomatic corps and foreign aid programs.





However, the current financial crisis could curtail some overseas development programs the Bush administration has championed, and there could be a shift in the department's emphasis.





Obama's stated willingness to talk with leaders like those in Iran, Syria and North Korea, may result in increased diplomatic activity in areas where the Bush administration initially resisted engagement, including dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.





JUSTICE





Obama has said he wants to close the detention facility at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, meaning he must decide whether terror suspects held there now should face military or civilian trials if they are moved to U.S. jails.





Under Obama, the Justice Department will re-examine all surveillance, interrogation and detainee policies to see if any should be overturned or changed.





Obama advisers say he may review the department's newly approved guidelines that could let the FBI investigate Americans in national security cases without evidence of a crime, based in part on their ethnicity or religion. He wants to create a senior position -- likely from the FBI or Homeland Security Department -- to coordinate all domestic intelligence gathering.





He has called for hiring 50,000 new police officers nationwide. The administration is likely to urge Congress to pass the Matthew Shepard Act, which expands federal hate crime laws to include protections for people targeted because of their gender, sexual orientation or disabilities -- and then require vigorous Justice Department enforcement.





Obama says he wants to eliminate any disparity between sentencing guidelines for people convicted of crack cocaine crimes and those for powder cocaine. Penalties for crack cocaine offenses are much harsher, and the vast majority of those convicted are black.





HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES





Obama wants the government to help millions of lower-income people buy health insurance through greater use of government subsidies, an approach the Bush administration has opposed.





The State Children's Health Insurance Program expires soon, and many analysts see its reauthorization as a way for Obama to secure an easy and early victory on health care.





For adults, Obama would establish a new public insurance program as part of a National Health Issuance Exchange, which would include private insurance plans. Millions of Americans would get some federal help in paying their premiums.





The Bush administration encouraged people to leave traditional Medicare by subsidizing private insurers offering ';Medicare Advantage'; plans. Obama has said he would reduce payments to these Medicare insurers by about $150 billion over 10 years.





ENERGY





The Energy Department is likely to shift its focus dramatically toward development of alternative energy, increasing support for research into cellulosic ethanol, wind turbines, solar technology and more fuel-efficient cars. The department is likely to press for tougher efficiency standards for appliances and buildings.





Obama has said he wants to spend $15 billion a year to spur alternative energy and more efficient use of energy. Economic and budgetary problems, however, may make those spending levels difficult.





Obama has said he does not oppose nuclear power, but has reservations about building dozens of new reactors because of concerns about radioactive waste. Obama has said he believes Yucca Mountain in Nevada -- where Bush wants to bury reactor waste -- is not the right place to keep it for millions of years. It's not certain whether Obama will withdraw the Yucca Mountain license application, now before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
