What is Change?

We all know that Obama is about change, but what kind of change? I've seen several people interview him on this, and here's what I get from what he says-

" To rise above party politics. To change the way people see Washington. To fix a broken Washington. To allow people to once again have hope in their leaders."

  • The part about him rising above party politics is so very laughable. Why don't Democrats see this? Isn't it obvious? This man is a party line liberal voter. When has he ever sided with Republicans on ANY controversial issue? Just hasn't happened. Try a 97% party line voter, named most liberal senator by non-partisan National Journal. And don't be fooled by those 3% that they are any issues controversial.
  • Is his change being in bed with: NARAL Pro choice, Planned Parenthood, Environmental groups, Unions, Peace groups, trial Lawyer issues, etc. Has anybody heard him stand up to ANY of these liberal groups? Obama abides by the "don't bite the hand that feeds you" notion.
  • He attacks President Bush, McCain, and the "right wing attack jobs" just like any other politician.
  • I guess his change is someone trying to run for president who has NO experience. Look: Here is Obama's résumé: an Ivy League law degree, a few years of community organizing, seven years in the Illinois senate, three and a half years as a U.S. senator. Kind of modest. What has he accomplished in any of those jobs? Not much, not much at all.
