Fix our economy by allowing the banks and automakers to fail
We should allow capitalism a chance to run it's natural course by weeding out banks and auto makers who over-extend and fail to innovate.
Yes, it will be painful. Many folks will lose their jobs but I believe that reality is the only true cure for greed.

resign and help Obama eliminate the national CTO position
The idea for a "National CTO" is counter productive. I don't want the Federal Government to have any kind of control over the Internet or technology development. Such interference with the markets will only hurt development in the long run.

Restore NASA's SETI program
In 1992, the U.S. government funded an operational SETI program, in the form of the NASA "Microwave Observing Program (MOP)". After some time, MOP eventually drew the attention of the U.S. Congress, where the program was strongly ridiculed, and was canceled a year after its start.
Since then, SETI research has been based in private funding, non-profit organizations and donations from individuals and corporations.
The great popularity of the SETI@home program showed that people are willing to contribute with the resources they have available to this cause. Over 5 million computer users in more than 200 countries have signed up…

my.gov (Brian McConnell's outline of Google for Government)
"a personalized front end for government services. Think “Amazon for government,” where a vast array of products and data is personalized and displayed in simplified form.

Bisect The Internet (Governet vs Internet)
Instead of trying to moderate and control the virtual world of the internet, I propose bisecting what we current call the 'internet' into two parts (or more). This would allow for a structured, moderated source for information and products while allowing independent peoples and companies to operate freely outside these domains.

Modular cars: Encourage the auto industry to build them
US automakers could revolutionize the industry by abandoning the emphasis on after-market sales of auto parts in favor of designing and building modular autos: drive module, body module, suspension module, interior module, and so on.
Of course, mechanics would have to retool, too. just like the blacksmiths did -- not a bad thing, given the advantages of CHEAP reliable and efficient automobiles.
