Tongue-in-cheek does loose something in forums.
Obama has been talking about change. Change. Change. Change. Beating us over the head with it. Then what does he do? Picks the prototypical Washington insider for a running mate. Thats not change. Its Bush/Cheney for the Democrats. Obama has little experience on the world stage, much like Bush when he first got into office. Biden will be calling the shots behind the scenes much like Cheney has been doing for the past 8 years.
I was heavily leaning towards Obama till he picked Biden as a running mate. Now I'm not saying McCain is some fresh faced kid new to town. He is as much of an insider as Biden but at least he was looking outside the beltway in trying to find some new blood. Plus he has stated he plans on putting some democrats on his cabinet if elected. That, to me at least, represents an attempt to affect change.
I'm not naive enough to believe the change is going to be drastic, I'd be suprised if it makes it past perceptible, but at least its something of a start.
The only way the people are going to get back control of the government is by getting rid of the majority of the people running it now otherwise the only thing that will change is the capital letters in parenthesis after the names of the people indicted in the latest government scandal.
Thats my opinion anyway...
