Exactly what "change" has Obama brought to Washington "politics as usual"?

Isn't this the same guy who promised:

an "open administration" that would listen to both sides?

not to sign a bill until he had let it set and had time to look it over?

to bring an end to shady deals and old-school politics?

to eliminate the special interest groups?

Amazing how THE CHOSEN ONE turned out to be just another sleazy lying Chicago politician. I can't say that I am in the least bit surprised

LEMMINGS!

    Not amazing, predictable, if you look at Obama's track record. He has always been a corporate Democrat.

    Goldman Sachs was his #1 campaign contributor. Not much chance of reform on Wall Street when corrupt bankers have purchased your tickets to the ball.

    The so-called health care bill is the biggest corporate welfare program in history. It mandates that we purchase the crappy private insurance we already can't afford, imposes stiff penalties if we refuse, fails to control costs, and expands patent rights for the pharmaceutical companies so that we can't opt for cheaper generic or imported drugs.

    Next time, vote for the third party candidate, whoever it is. At least you'll be making a symbolic gesture against the status quo, which should tide you over until the revolution forms.

    For six years, the Senate, the House of Representatives and the White House were controlled by Republicans.

    What progress did they make toward health care reform? NONE.

    President Obama is trying to provide this generation and generations to come with a better health care system.

    And the reason politics as usual occur is because we, as American citizens, need to demand a 28th Amendment to our Constitution that will set REAL TERM LIMITS for our Congressional members.

    No one should be in Congress as long as many of them have been there.

    The only change Obama has brought it the acceleration of the radical liberal agenda. He's pushing the pedal to the floor...driving the country right off a cliff. Libs love it and are jumping off with him.

    Just like you said...lemmings.

    Well, when I give the cashier a dollar for a paper, instead of two quarters, a dime & a nickel, all I get back is a quarter.
