Obama Owns ‘Change,’ And McCain Should Know the Word is Worthless
North Star Writers Group ^ | September 15, 2008 | Nathaniel Shockey

“I've been talking about change since we started this campaign. I talked about change when we were up, I talked about change when were down. But now suddenly John McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin, they're out there saying 'we're for change.' 'We're for change too.' Well I'm glad that they now agree with me but we've got to change America. But let's be absolutely clear about what change means – change isn’t just a word.” – Barack Obama, Democratic Presidential Nominee

Although, in case change is just a word, it’s Obama’s word, not McCain’s.

It’s true. “Change” has been Obama’s motto since the beginning, and now McCain has fallen in love with the word, too. Everyone is laying claim to the enchanting word, “change.”

But really, is there a more obvious, arbitrary, general word than change?

Well, Sarah owned the word “lipstick”, but that didn’t stop Obama.

McCain needs a new word - RENEWAL or RECLAIM would be understood by most Americans.

THE WORD CHANGE IS INDEFINITE ... IT SPARKS HOPE IN PEOPLE THAT IT WILL BE THE CHANGE THEY LONG FOR HAPPENING.

WE DO NEED CHANGE ...BUT FOR ME, IT HAS TO MEAN CHANGE WITH A CONSERVATIVE DIRECTION, MORALLY , ETHICALLY, CONSTITUTIONALLY, STANDING FOR STANDARDS AND the UNHAMPERING OF FREEDOMS, REINSTITUTING LEGAL CRIIMINIAL PUNISHMENTS, etc. ...

... of all the crooks that are operating behind the shields of government, corporations, unions, medias, etc. You get the idea. True information from the medias and not just their edited version aimed at convincing the public of their particular agendas; while they hide secretly many manipulations of government they agree with and harass what the people want.

Indeed, “we do need straight talk” in fact and in truth.

Yup, and he’ll try his best to take that too.

With McCain, the word ‘change’ is associated with ‘reform’ and he has a long history to back it up. With 0bama, the word ‘change’ is associated with the amount of money we get back from the cashier...

Can you get me hooked up with North Star Writer’s Group so I can make some dough posting their articles on FR? They must have a dozen people flacking their wares, and I’d like some of that cash, myself.
