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.

So which are you? Are you a racist or are you a sexist? This is the question that is facing Democrats this election year as they head to the polls and decide whether to vote for Hillary Clinton or for Barack Obama.

Have you heard the good ne ws? Barack Obama is for change! Well, that seals it! He’s got my vote! Why you ask? Isn’t he a liberal Democrat? Well yeah, but he’s for change! So let’s look at the status quo which he will be looking at changing shall we?

James Madison once remarked, “with respect to the two words ‘general welfare,’ I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators.” In writing that letter to James Roberts, he reiterated the sentiments he shared with the nation in Federalist 41 where he denounced objections by the anti-Federalists to the term “general Welfare” being included in the Constitution because of it’s presumption of an unlimited and open ended scope as without “color”.
