The election of 2008 will be known for two words: Hope and Change. This is what people voted for when they elected Senator Obama. Let's examine his change. Just to name a few.
- Secretary of State- Hillary Clinton (Sen-NY)
- Secretary of Commerce- Bill Richardson (Gov- NM)
- Secretary of Treasury- Tim Geithner (Fed Reserve Pres.- NY)
- Chief of Staff- Rahm Emanuel (Rep-IL)
- Secretary of Health- Tom Daschle (Former Sen- SD, majority leader)
- Attorney General- Eric Holder (Former Att. Gen)
- Officer of Budget-Peter Orszag (present Director of Congressional Budget)
- Secretary of Defense- Robert Gates (present Sec of Defense)
- Homeland Security- Janet Napolitano (Gov-AZ)
- UN Ambassador- Susan Rice (Former Asst Sec of Sate)
- Economic Recovery- led by 81 year old Paul Volker (Former Chairman of Fed Reserve)
- And of course, Vice President- Joe Biden (Sen-DE)
If you look into the careers of these people you will find a common theme. Most of them have all served under either George W Bush or Bill Clinton, one way or another. For a man who talked about change being his number one priority he isn't showing much promise. If this is his promise of change coming true, imagine what his promise of hope will look like when it comes true.
Only 25% of you said that Sen. Obama can do anything about the problems America is facing. 75% said that he would do very little or would/could do nothing at all. You must have been those who voted for John McCain.
More to come...
