There was a skit on Cheers where Woody was running for office and Doc's recommendation was to focus on change. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhXhXNYSn8Q What is so pathetic is that we elected a President with change being his campaign. I have said in the past for me change is neutral until you know what it is, but what we got is not good. He is not leading the country and we have a do nothing Congress. It seems the only advancements are their salaries while the rest of us wallow in our president's change. Do not let anyone run on change unless you ask the person to explain what these changes are. America wake up. Yes we do need change now in this country and I would suggest making a change at the top. |

Jim, obama really didn't lie. The change he was talking about was to make this country into another European Socialist type nation, placing all means of production under government control. I for one, value my individual freedom as I'm sure you do. I don't want the government to control every aspect of my life as shown in Obama's "Julia" slide show.
