George Sorwell, I agree somewhat. But change for its own sake just creates a feeling of instability. We have had a lot of changes over the last 7 years under Bush, and they were not necessarily good ones.

I some how feel that when progressives talk about bringing people together, what they mean is the "shut up and agree with me" type of consensus (See most college campuses for good examples). <br><br>When people start fighting over goodies from the government, the idea of consensus and agreement will end. I doubt that any Obama Administration will have the huge economy boom that Clinton experienced in his last three years in office.

It's morning in America.

People yearn for hope for a better future. For themselves and their family.

Obama's record hardly points to any kind of real change. What we may see is infighting among Democrats in addition to GOP-Dem conflict if Obama were to bring "outsiders" to DC with him.

Change to what? Are voters so dumbed down that casting their vote comes down to one 6 letter word? With the problems we are facing we need the voice of wisdom and restraint, not the guru of change. I'm still disappointed that my man Biden is out, and the press barely noticed it. You really do get the leadership you deserve. I'm starting to cringe when I hear the word “change”. Change to what?
