Obama is a abject marxist ideolog and he is going about a marxist's agenda. That is the fundamental change he is bringing.
They created the crisis, and now they are solving it. It's the old "Order out of chaos" thing where they bring on the chaos (financial crisis)...and make no mistake, Obama himself and these leftist politicians have been egging on the problem for many years...and then propose constitution shredding policies to "fix" the crisis they created.
IMHO, Obama, his administration, and this leftist controlled house and senate are the gravest threats to American liberty in the history of this Republic.
we must educate others and work our hearts out to begin reversing it in 2010 so as to limit the daamage and exposure, and then turn it completely around in 2012.
In the mean time, our Senators, if they will have the gumption, can slow things down with the filibuster as we make enough noise in the weeds to maybe even influence some of the moderate democrats.

Jeff, MOST of your points are excellent and dead on IMO. BUT....
You no doubt recall the "conservative" revolution of '94 when Pubbies won both houses of congress. They began implementing "change" we could in fact believe in. In fact the only item in the Contract With America that failed to pass was, you guessed it, term limits. Oh well, we can't have it all right.
The elections of 2000 puts a Pubbie in the White House and made it a clean sweep of DC. The adults were back in charge, or were they? Actually, things went fairly well for a time, then THEY TOO caught Potomac Fever and began overstepping their Constitutional chains. After the dust settled the only difference I could discern between our guys and the Dims was WHO the beneficiaries were of taxpayer generosity.
My FRiend, we need to implement some fundamental change of our own; not so much change, but a return to the fundamental principles of our Constitution. Hence, my support for State initiatives putting the feral government on notice under the auspices of primarily, the 10th Amendment. Even this is only a start though and given the culture and momentum of marxist idealogies, won't soon turn the beast into the servant of the States and The People it once was.
There needs to be a starting point and the 10th Amendment movement is about as good as any. In fact, I believe it may be our last hope of recovering our Republic. Your mileage may vary...
Well said Jeff
