Change vs. Change

If Barack Obama is elected, I do believe change will come. If he does what he says he will do and there is nothing to indicate that he will not, I believe we will begin to see a foreign policy change that emphasizes diplomacy over bombing everything in sight.
I believe that Obama will try to turn the economy around and to establish affordable health care.
Obama truly respresented a change in the status quo.
The only change I believe that will happen under John McCain is nickles and dimes in my pocket that used to be dollar bills.
McCain embraces and endorces everything that George W. Bush has done over the past eight years and plans more of the same. That is just more of the same. Change means something different. If McCain truly is a maverick who advocates change, then why does he not criticize any of Bush’s policies? Why? Because they are exactly the same!

ya know it's not necessary to roll your eyes when someone is genuinely trying to understand someone's (in this case Obama's) stance ... and to ask voters what THEIR thoughts are in what he says and what they think he means when he says what he says .....


I wanted to discuss the issues, his thoughts on the issues, what his supporters think these thoughts mean ... I guess I asked WAY too much.


I guess people would much rather sling mud back and forth and scream 'wright' and 'cheater' instead.


Good to know.

When did a Chicago politician ever stand for truth, justice and the American way?

Well, here's an opinion article from the WSJ in favor of Obama's health plan, and admittedly the writer doesn't like McCain's - but he explains what

To me, the point is to vent.

Yes, seriously.


I did post that article where someone was giving what they thought the meaning of Obama's health plan was.

I read it but I guess there is no point in discussing it ... thanks for it though.
