I don't know about you but

the change I want is to see a balanced budget, balanced trade, good paying jobs for all who are in the job market, the economy restored, affordable insurance,  bail-outs stopped and the war ended.  Do I think Obama will bring all this about?  I doubt it.  Even if his purpose is nothing more than the good of the country, I doubt he will be able to pull it off, even if that is his (campaign) intention.

Is all this mess entirely the governments fault?  No.  There are the people who insisted on keeping up with the Jones when they couldn't afford it and if they lose their homes now....well, sorry 'bout that.  People who are losing their homes because of job loss or illness, that's a whole 'nuther story although most of us are left to our own devices with no one bailing us out and having lived quite a long time, I've been through many of these situations myself.

I certainly don't see how anyone can argue with the change I want to see.  Obama WILL be president and there's no use in beating a dead horse. We should all get behind him and give him a chance while keeping a watchful eye on ALL the government and screaming like wounded panthers if things don't look right.  Keeping on railing about his b/c, he isn't president yet, etc. etc is just plain stupid not to mention counter productive.
