Obama has been drilling into the minds of Americans that he is the candidate of change. Like ants taking the poison back to their nests, people have been taking Obama's "bait" and regurgitating it back in the offices, classrooms, factories, and even churches. Here's the problem; we really don't know what "change" means in a Obama world. A lot of leaders throughout history spoke about change, even following through with it. I don't want to give a history lesson, anyone can go read about those wonderful dictators in history books if they haven't been removed at our public libraries yet. Castro brought change. But not a whole lot has changed in the past few decades in the hills of the island south of Miami. I'm sure if we ask the many political prisoners who spoke out against Castro they would share their views on that subject- if we had access to them. Now, I am not saying that Obama wants to follow in the steps of Castro, but he does have some interesting connections in the friends and heroes department. You know, the whole 5th degree of separation. But that's another story.
Obama says he want to bring change to Washington. But how is he change, when he is in fact, a member of one of the most unpopular congresses in recent history. Our economy, even in wartime, was doing exceptionally well until the new Democratic congress came into play. Since then gas prices have gone up as well. Is this a reflection of change in Obamas mind? More to come...
