The Hundred Day Hurdle

Well, we've made it through the first 100 days of Change. Humm. O.K.

Still waiting Mr.President.

Of course the "Change" promised by Barack Obama was to kick out the Bush bunch. That was supposed to make everything right because "they" were what was wrong. "Eight is enough" of what? "Help me take back America" from who? “Change” versus “More of the Same”.

Well, we got rid of them, didn't we. And I'm glad. As far as I'm concerned, eight years of any politician is enough, be he president or congressman. But it doesn't help your yard to get rid of the ragweed and leave the crabgrass. They're both weeds. All we did was give the other weed more room to take over.

Maybe we would have seen more change if he would have changed more. Didn't he notice that there were democrats infesting the House and Senate over the past four years too? Now I don't expect any candidate to campaign for someone of another party, but that doesn't mean they can't push for new blood in the system.

But that didn't happen. And things in Washington remain the same. I pay my taxes while Washington pays back it's supporters. And since I'm not a millionaire auto executive or banker I won't be receiving any checks from the White House any time soon. So I'll keep plodding on trying to keep up with those ever incresing bills.

Funny thing is, all my life, after cashing my checks and paying my bills, all I've ever had left is...

you guessed it...

"change".
