I've been so sick of hearing this word: change. It means nothing. What has this guy promised to change?

"Well he's going to restore hope." How is he going to restore hope?

"With change?" What change?
"He's going to restore hope?"

It goes on and on. He doesn't say anything! His foreign policy is basically just as agressive. He actually supports the war on terror. He isn't going to scrap the patriot act. He's just reappointed the Clinton team with a few changes. He won't make any kind of government health program. He has promised nothing! He won't fix anything. He's just a good talker.

Here's a change to make. Rip up the patriot act.

Here's another. Jump on the band wagon and join every single other first world country and get some kind of public health care system for you people. The US is the only first world country without some form of public, socialized health care.

Here's another change. Reopen the 911 case.

That's change!

NOVEMBER 28, 2008

Obama's War Cabinet

Gates and Jones are welcome signs of continuity.

The names floated for Barack Obama's national security team "are drawn exclusively from conservative, centrist and pro-military circles without even a single -- yes, not one! -- chosen to represent the antiwar wing of the Democratic party."
In his plaintive post this week on the Nation magazine's Web site, Robert Dreyfuss indulges in the political left's wonderful talent for overstatement. But who are we to interfere with his despair?

If reports are correct, on Monday the President-elect will ask Robert Gates to stay on as Secretary of Defense and name retired Marine General James Jones as National Security Adviser. These are the Administration posts most critical to the successful conduct of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to possible entanglements with Iran, North Korea and who knows who else.

I fully agree with OP. Obama is bought and paid, straight up.

Let's monitor Obama shall we. For instance, there are several youtube videos in which Obama is the leading man. In said videos he endorses drung reform; and even the use of medical marijuana, if determined the best source of relief. Let's see how he deals with the epidemic we all call the "war on drugs".

Oh wait. Obama will face an "international crisis" within his first 6 months. And, if at first his response seems wrong, fear nothing because we should just trust him. Or, at least trust his VP Biden, cuz that is what he said (?!?!).
