'A Leader for a Change'

'A Leader for a Change' - Carter
'America Needs a Change' - Mondale
'I have news for the forces of greed and the defenders of the status quo: Your time has come and gone. Its time for a change in America.' - B. Clinton
'I still believe in a place called Hope' - B Clinton


No......Obama was not the first for Hope and Change and he certainly won't be the last. His message is no different than the many others being shouted from the stump now and in the past. I take issue with his pereived ownership of the ideas of hope and change. I take issue with making 'experience ' a dirty word. Perhaps because someone has very little of it? ....especially on a national and an international level?....yes there 'is something in the wind across America' .......a hell of a lot of hot air.

A change is coming in America regardless of who gets the Democratic Nomination. It sure as hell is not going to be a change for the worse.........it couldn't possibly be after the last 8 years.

Hope and Change are nothing new to politics or to America. We have had hope and change since America was founded. No one owns excluisve rights to the idea of either.
