Honestly? What to get my stepmother for Christmas. Then what to do with my dogs while I'm gone to the inlaws for a week. Then where I can find the best vendor for a bunch of lab equipment I need for work. So those are my top three concerns right now, as an American.
If you mean what's the top political issue that concerns me I would say it's the constantly expanding government. Every single problem you can possibly face seems to be something the government feels it has the power to influence. The race has come down to who can spend the most, promise the most, and do everything for everybody forever. And then people are surprised when the government erodes on their freedoms! I swear the vast majority of our country is downright retarded. You can't have it both ways. You either get a large intrusive government that does a whole bunch, or you can have a small government that doesn't do quite as much as you might want. I personally would like to see our government slashed to a skeleton crew. My money, and my freedom, is more useful kept in my own hands.

MP US Army has it exactly right. The biggest concern for every American should be the overreaching arm of the government and its total disregard for the limits placed upon it by the Founders and further codified in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the Constitution.
By the way, the text of the Ninth Amendment:
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

The fact that most Americans would consider the number one concern "as an American" rather than global citizens.

The complete disregard for the constitutions limits on the power of the Federal Government.
See the 10th amendment
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Marxism frequently demands its followers to be an athiest, yet not any opposite direction around. i'm a registered Republican and that i've got not got any non secular or theistic ideals. Bush's checklist of church attendance throughout his presidency isn't any much less suspicious as Obama's. besides the undeniable fact that, i'm intense of Obama's energetic attendance in Jeremiah Wright's black supremacist church.

Same as always, Americans dying for no reason other than apathy.
It is almost Christmas, winter is here. How many times will I read of deaths due to starvation, and lack of heat here in America.
How many more of our seniors will die?
How many more of our bravest and finest young people die overseas?
If these things do not concern you, you are not really Americans.

The National Debt. It's so big we may not be able to solve our other problems and the dollar is becoming worth less every day. George Bush has put us in a very bad position.

The number one thing? The loss of effective witnessing, serving, repentance and revival in and of US churches, and the resulting diminishing influence of Judeo-Christian values on the general culture and policies of the US.
