The impossibility of change
March 11, 2008
Sen. Barack Obama’s motto is “Change we can believe in.” Assume, Obama becomes President on January 20, 2009. What exactly will change?
Remember, the executive branch is one part of our government. Obama can’t change politics or government on his own. In order to pass any legislation he will have to work with both the House and Senate. Because Congress will remain in Democrats hands, Obama will have an easier time of passing legislation. Again I ask, what will that change?
Say Obama passes his health care plan and more Americans are covered. How will that change the costs of health care? Can we all agree that our health industry is great, but flawed? The insurance industry is a disaster. Obama’s changes will result in cosmetic changes that may look great to voters but fail to enact real change. Obama also promised to end the war in Iraq as soon as he takes office. What will that change? Iraq will still be in the midst of chaos as Sunni’s, Shiites and Kurds continue to battle over land, oil and rights. In fact, Iraq could become a power vacuum without the U.S. military there with all the sect vying for control. Once again, the change will appeal to our eyes, but fail to be real.
Sen. Obama also wants to change Washington. This is no easy task and probably the biggest uphill battle anyone could face. The President can’t possibly do this alone. He would need cooperation of Senators and Representatives. You have heard the phrase, “you can’t teach and old dog new tricks.” Well, here are 26 Senators over the age of 70 currently serving with 35 more between the ages of 60-69 (to be fair Sen. Conrad turns 60 on March 12 while Sen Coburn’s 60th birthday is on March 14th. I have included them in the 60-69 category.) Are they ready to change with Obama?
The optimist in me has always hoped Washington would wake up and politicians would change. The pessimist in me knows better. The problem is, even with Obama running with his message of change, the pessimist in me grows stronger.

Before Democrats in the USA decide to make Senator OBAMA there Presidential cadidate.And if the war in IRAQ Goes Badly he could easily become President.
I think people should delve in to the mans background. First Obama was taken straight out of Harvard under the wing of Ilegal imigrant from Syria named REZKO. REZKO sponsered OBAMA’S successful effort to become a Chicago Congress man.And his initial run to be President REZKO is now on trial in Chicago for buying polical influence.REZKO’S wife apparently with help of Nahhmi Auchi ( SADAM HUSAINS MONEY MAN) helped to facilitate OBAMA’S HOUSE PURCHASE
Google REZKO to find out more.
Obama is also a devout member of the Black separatist church Trinity United Church of christ (www.tucc.org) The church pay allegiance to Africa before the USA I find that dificult to except of a person who may become President of the USA The founder of the Church is Rev Jeremigh Wright Obama said the Rev Wright is the most important man in his life and he seeks and listens to Rev Wrights advice. Rev Wrights close friend is the leader of the THE NATION OF ISLAM CHURCH the Rev FARRAKHAN Who recently described white people as the ANTI-CHRIST. Rev Wright traveled to Lybia to meet Gadaffi with the Rev FARRAKHAN,

If Obama wins the election, change will happen. Change towards socialism. I have heard 9 out of 10 black voters vote for Obama. Racism is alive and well.
