Barack’s “Change” Is Just The Status Quo
A LIBERTY REBORN EXCLUSIVE
The dictionary defines change as something “radically different” or to “undergo a modification”. So here is a riddle. When is change not change but just more of the status quo? When it’s Barack Obama’s version of change of course.
Somehow you probably already knew deep in your gut that when someone as far left as Senator Obama starts talking about “change” he never really means change. Perhaps you do not even care especially if you like the concepts of having the government hand meddling in your life. Maybe you just like the feeling of happiness the mantra of “change” creates deep within your bosom because substance is secondary to style? Maybe you are actually so naive that you actually think that doing more of the same is actually change because you were taught that words really did not have hard and fast definitions?
What is the definition of “is” again?
Barack Obama is finally proving that he is not an agent of change or even hope as he and his wife often discusses in lofty campaign speeches. Rather he continues to prove that he is harbinger of the same old, same old which has brought misery to so many not just in America, but around the world. But that’s ok because if he keeps saying he is for change and bringing hope, all his disciples who gather around and swoon hoping to kiss his feet will continue to flock to his side and “ooh” and “aah” at every word he speaks.
Perhaps feeling the pressure of the realization that even some of his own followers were beginning to seek a little more than simply stating his status as the candidate for change and hope, Barack Obama has begun to get a little more detailed about what his plans actually are. And like I said, once you see his plans you see that there is nothing “radically different” among them.
Whether it is $65 billion a year for even more healthcare above and beyond already existing programs like Medicare, SCHIP and Medicaid or making the “rich”, who already pay the vast majority of all taxes, bear an even bigger burden for the cost of this country, nothing is new or revolutionary when it comes to Barack Obama’s plans.
In reality his plans are quite old hat.
Oh, and by the way, just so you know Obama’s definition of “rich” is people making over $50,000 per year. Because that is where he has stated his tax breaks will end.
He wants even more money for more public education despite how bad public schools are performing against private and charter school. And heck, let’s not let the fact that funding education is no where to be found in the Constitution get in the way of his plans.
He has proposed billions of dollars to be sent overseas to help fight poverty there while claiming to care about the poor here at home. Haven’t we been sending money overseas for decades? Again, how is this “change”?
Obama wants to meddle with business and act outside of Constitutional authority and set up a sop to businesses to pay for employee leave. And on top of that he also wants to provide tax dollars for job training; a billion dollars for that. I guess it would be pointless to ask again for this authority to be pointed out in the Constitution huh?
But I guess since I am a glutton for punishment and like to point out how wrong people are when they actually think they have the power to spend money in such a manner. So I’ll keep asking. Anyone read the Constitution lately? Obama apparently hasn’t.
Exactly how is spending more money on unconstitutional government programs “change” when we have been doing exactly that for decades?
The answer is obvious. There is no change being proposed. But it just sounds so good that Barack Obama and his followers can’t help themselves. And besides, who cares about the facts. Especially if you are one of the sheep begging for the crumbs Obama and others will throw your way.
Just be careful. If you ever take a moment to look up from eating those crumbs off the you might see the cliff you are being led to and you just might be able to save yourself. But damn those crumbs are tasty! And you probably can’t be bothered to look up.
Maybe you will figure it all out. Maybe you won’t. Maybe you will just keep pushing for more grand government schemes. And when you are living in your government provided trailer sucking down toxic Formaldehyde fumes who are you going to blame?
