Obama doesn't represent change

After eight years of President Bush, I am amazed at how ecstatic and overly trusting people seem to be about the new president, Barack Obama. Did we not learn to be cautious and skeptical of our leaders? Have we not learned that political candidates will say anything to get elected, only to deliver their own self-serving agendas?

There is a difference between perceived "change" and actual change. Isn't anyone bothered that Obama received more corporate financing than John McCain? Or that he wants to increase the size of the military and expand more militarily into Afghanistan and Pakistan? Are you not concerned that he wants to have a militarized civilian task force, just as funded, just as strong as the military?

Bush planted the seeds for a militarized police state, and now Obama can grow it to whatever his handlers want. I thought that these ideas were contrary to what Democrats are supposed to believe. Then again, both political parties are owned by the same multi-national corporate interests. Many people have not learned yet that government does nothing to alleviate their problems and mostly only causes them to be worse.

Many Americans are waking up to this reality, while also becoming aware of the opportunity to reach from within ourselves to actualize the change we want to see in the world.

I very much doubt that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would embrace a slicker-talking, more charismatic version of George Bush, even if he was African American. While King warned us about the power of government, Obama embraces it.

We must not allow ourselves to be conditioned into blindly believing in and worshipping people in positions of power because they are likable or cool. Citizens should be skeptical of rhetoric promising "change," especially when it comes from a president who represents an extension of the same policies and the same globalist status quo agenda. source>>>
