Point A to Point B

Who is best suited to take us from Point A (where we are) to Point B (where we need to be)?

Who understands the political process and who has the ability to maneuver through it in order to accomplish the things which this country needs?

Who has a record of maximizing his or her position (be it senator, community organizer, volunteer) in order to get results for the country?

-------

The next president of the United States will face the same wars, the same deficits and debts, the same foreign enemies, the same domestic challenges, and the same media.

Congress isn't going away. Nor is the Supreme Court. The presidency will have the same powers.

When we confine a person to that box, who is best suited to utilize his or her position to get us from Point A to Point B?

-------

The sight of one man or woman isn't going to change the system. Last time I checked, Barack Obama is human and has no magic wand.


Who can get us from Point A to Point B? That's what change is really about.

Barack Obama isn't for change

If words are meaningful, as Barack Obama would have you believe, then let's look at his.


- Targeting corporate CEO bonuses
- Attacking free trade agreements
- Bashing Wal-Mart and its employees (why doesn't anyone pick up on how despicable his attacks on Wal-Mart are? He's basically saying that if you work for Wal-Mart, you're life is unsatisfactory.)
- Raising taxes on the wealthy and using class warfare rhetoric


How do any of the above campaign tenets differ from those of John Kerry? How can you claim to be for change and spew this kind of venom?


Also, how can you lament the state of politics in America and claim to change the game while playing the same game as everyone else. Barack Obama's campaign tries to manipulate the press and win the media cycle just as any other campaign.


Where is the change?
