WASHINGTON POST: Ex-Lobbyists Have Key Obama Roles.

Same old crap, different party. The only “change” we are going to get is that now it’s the DemocRATS again who are raking in the bucks and have all the power.
Change we can change...
Obama: Integrity is for losers.

A lesson also well-taught and demonstrated by the Bonnie and Clyde (the Clintons).
I am shocked, I tell you.
Let’s just say Obama is a tall skinny liar.
suprise, suprise....
CHANGE was just a banal chant for the lemmings
Made them feel good inside
