President-elect Barack Obama will have more on his to-do list on Jan. 20 than just take the oath of office on the north front of the Capitol, as historic as that will be.

He'll move within hours to mark a change in direction in national policies, issuing executive orders to reverse several of President Bush's more controversial policies and ask Congress to weigh in soon after with passage of bills blocked by Bush's vetoes or veto threats.

Expect these 10 quick moves:

Debt rescue package

Mortgages

Financial regulations

Emissions

Oil and gas drilling

Stem cells

Family planning

National energy council

Children's health care

Guantanamo Bay
