Change

Obama has been attacking Senator McCain over the issue of change by saying that McCain is more of the same old same old, while he himself hasn't, as the self-proclaimed candidate for change, really brought about much of any change at all. Obama talks about how we need change in his elegant speeches as if the term change is his personal and exclusively owned trademark. Yet when it came time to actually demonstrating his commitment to change what did he do; he chose Joseph Biden for his vice presidential running mate. Biden is a long time Washington DC liberal Senator who has done little to promote change in the twenty plus years that he has been in office. Yet Obama mocks Senator McCain for his twenty plus years of service and then choose a running mate that has nearly as many years in the Senate as McCain. Now I don't know about you, but I certainly wouldn't call Senator Obama's first opportunity to prove that he is the candidate for change to be much of a change at all. Come to think of it, Senator Obama, in the time that he has been a Senator, hasn't promoted anything, aside from himself, let alone change while in service to his nation. Obama blames the current Wall Street melt down on Senator McCain and the Republicans, yet he fails to acknowledge the involvement of his own party, let alone his personal involvement with Fanny May and Freddie Mac. This is yet another prime example of Obama failing to demonstrate change. Instead of talking about how he will change the system that allowed he and his party to profit from these companies then lay the bill at the door step of the American tax payer, Senator Obama would rather dance the old Potomac two step and lay blame in order to avoid responsibility. Senator Obama uses the word change but he does not speak nor has he demonstrated that he understands what change really means.

Now Senator McCain on the other hand has brought change, real change in that he chose Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska to be his vice presidential running mate. Talk about change, Sarah Palin isn't part of the Washington DC belt way mainstream, and has put rubber to the road when it comes to demonstrating real change by bringing positive changes to her state through good leadership and common sense core conservative values and policies. While Obama plays party politics, McCain worked with democrats to bring about campaign reform and worked across party lines fighting for the Surge, which Obama opposed, that definitely brought about a positive change in Iraq. Obama doggedly refused to acknowledge that the surge is working which illustrates even more that when it comes to making real change Obama is blind, while McCain, a man with experience, isn't. So when it comes down to seeing a change, I know that McCain and Palin represent the right choices for real and positive change in American.
