"Hope and Change" seems to have revealed itself to be more than just campaign posters. Since Obama took office over a year ago, we seem to spend a lot of time searching for HOPE. HOPE that the economy will just turn around overnight because we handed out taxpayer dollars to campaign donors and anti-capitalist businesses. HOPE that the very corporations our administration plans to punish with taxes and mandatory health care fees will decided to start hiring full time employees. And HOPE that Iran doesn't really have the nuclear capabilities they claims to have.
The CHANGE is so evident it is blinding. No longer is our sitting president held accountable by the press. He is free to golf as much as he wants while the economy sputters and while oil spills into the gulf of Mexico. He is Free to decided that 9.9% of the population claiming unemployment benefits is acceptable, and blame it on his predecessor. The respectability factor has again CHANGED back to the Clinton standard of profanity laced conversation in the White House, even elevating it to national televised speeches. Biden constantly proves to have foot-in-mouth disease, yet the press ignores Obama's Vice-President pick and continues to attack Sarah Palin. Name calling is totally acceptable in this administration. Especially when it comes to the protesters of too much government waste of tax-payer dollars. CHANGE has come to how the Democratic party and Obama administration views peaceful protester's exercising their constitutional right to show dissent. They call this action "un-American" and "un-patriotic".
In six months we will have another opportunity to HOPE for CHANGE. The press is already dumbing down the outcome by distancing President Obama from the Pelosi/Reid congress. Articles about the "differing opinions" between the White House and congressional Democrats are becoming more frequent. They are throwing around the term "anti-incumbency mood", leaving out the fact that the incumbent party in power is the Democratic Party. And contrary to his popularity with the liberal media, President Obama has lost the support of the independents and is now consistently below 50% approval. Which means just the Democrats approve. Not a prescription for winning an election.
As long as the media and the administration continues to dumb down their standards by attempting to make the unacceptable acceptable, we can look forward to voters replacing "HOPE" with ACTION in November. And the Obama "CHANGE" will be swept away with a National CORRECTION.
