Keep your coins sucker, I want change!

I'm tired of these Obama pictures of a young person sitting down like a bum with a sign that says "Keep your money, I want change." You know what, change isn't going to happen if you sit on your ass and ask for it like its a hand out that someone else will give you. You'll be waiting for change for the rest of your damn life with that attitude. Change isn't given. It's taken! If you want change you need to get off your ass, go to the nearest middle manager baby boomer who used to talk about peace and revolution 40 years ago and say "TIME FOR A CHANGE MOTHERFUCKER!"

Compare, contrast, discuss.

or something along those lines.

The entire "theme" just begs to be mocked, it's so self-righteous and painfully 'symbolic.'

A kid that age should get up off his lazy 'symbolic' ass, anyway, put down that cardboard sign, and go find himself a J-O-B. Not be panhandling in the FIRST place!!!

CHICAGO—According to witnesses, a loud black man approached a crowd of some 4,000 strangers in downtown Chicago Tuesday and made repeated demands for change.

"The time for change is now," said the black guy, yelling at everyone within earshot for 20 straight minutes, practically begging America for change. "The need for change is stronger and more urgent than ever before. And only you—the people standing here today, and indeed all the people of this great nation—only you can deliver this change."

The black guy is oddly comfortable demanding change from people he's never even met.

It is estimated that, to date, the black man has asked every single person in the United States for change.

"I've already seen this guy four times today," Chicago-area ad salesman Blake Gordon said. "Every time, it's the same exact spiel. 'I need change.' 'I want change.' Why's he so eager for all this change? What's he going to do with it, anyway?"

After his initial requests for change, the black man rambled nonstop on a variety of unrelated topics, calling for affordable health care, demanding that the government immediately begin withdrawing troops from Iraq, and proposing a $75 billion economic stimulus plan to create new jobs.
