i don't think anyone voted for obama for change as in we're not going to act like govt has for over two hundred years. they changed parties.
no one blames Obama for the mess but his first 30 days have produced the largest govt spending bill in history that was written for the most part by the people who were supposed to be reined in by "change". Then this week he has a grand plan for cutting the deficit. Someone tell him that he can stop campaigning now and start to deal with the issues now that he has paid off all the special interest groups that helped him get elected. Like no President has done that you say? Well What about rising above politics as usual like he said he would? In 30 days he has turned into the largest spending, liberal pleasing typical politician of all time. What can he do for an encore the next 30? ban the opposition party? (oops the Fairness Doctrine wants to start that process) Cap everyones wages? See if he can make corporate taxes the highest in the world? Not far to go on that. Continue the class war where the successful are disparaged and the lazy are "entitled"?
