I have watched heated arguments about change come from people on all sides lately. With the President Elect hiring good ol’ boys from the Clinton era folks are wondering what kind of change Barack Hussein Obama will bring. (I love using his middle name as it seems to piss people off who used it to try to gain his defeat) The biggest issue here seems to be everyone was expecting something new.
The expectations come mostly from those who were against an Obama Presidency. They touted his past association with William Ayaers. They shouted he was a “community organizer”. They predicted socialism and a Communist takeover of the government. Their predictions have come crashing down and yet they still bitch. Now they are worried we are going to be back in the same spot we were in when Bill Clinton was in office. There will always be people to bitch about progress.
The Clinton years were Ok at best. We weren’t involved in a war officially but the threat from the US was held over others heads. Our economy wasn’t fantastic but you have to admit, even your lazy assed brother-in-law had a job. Inflation was up some and there were stumbles on Wall Street but there was also a budget surplus in Washington.
We were in debt to others but not the way we are now. No war costing billions of dollars a year. No battles that made sure our kids came home in bags and coffins…that they wont let us see. No bailouts of the monetary system caused by collapsing housing market
because of deregulation from the presidents friends. None of the shit we are seeing now.
I am amazed this president isn’t facing impeachment for the crimes he has done against Americans and others around the world. The ones who screamed for Clintons head because he lied about a blowjob are defending the murderous morally bankrupt guy in office now. I would rather have a philandering, sex junkie in office than a man who give the freedom of his own people away.
So if Barack Obama is actually going back in time to a more prosperous time to make change it is good. At least the same ol’ same ol’ is from a time of peace and freedom. Going there is the first step to real change. In this case going backward is really moving America, and the world, forward.
