It is a problem. My 20 something daughter’s like what Obama has to say. They will not fall for the line but the change theme has caught their attention. I pointed out he has not actually said exactly how this change will happen. They also like what RP has to say - again it feeds the notion that the same old stuff is broken.

Everyone is voting “change”. Change from what to what? From capitalism to socialism? From freedom to tyranny? It seems to me that though everything is not well in this country, it could get a lot worse with the wrong type of changes. People need to ask, “What do you want to change and how do you propose to make these changes? Who loses what in these changes and who gains what with these changes?” You want the troops home regardless of the fact we are now winning in Iraq? Then we’ll change from fighting them in Iraq to fighting them here on our soil. So be it. You’ll have change. You bought too much house with an adjustable mortgage. Maybe you want change so the government can bail you out of your bad decision. Is that the kind of change you want? Good business decisions usually bring good results. Think about it. Why not buy the size house you can actually afford five years down the road. You need to find out what kind of changes these men and woman (God help us) are talking about. So far, I have heard NO specifics. Believe me folks, change can be far worse than we have it now.

Did you tell your daughters that every president who has ever run has said they are the one to change Washington? Not one has ever changed Washington. I don’t care what party gets in (I am a conservative) that party leader cannot and will not change Washington. Our system of government can’t be changed by one person.
