Here is my problem with Obama: Everything he is doing (wanting to get more involved in health care, raising taxes on the rich, giving goodies to unions, bowing to environmental lobbyists, etc) is old, old news and straight out of the Democrat playbook of the past century. I realize that everything I want (less taxes, less federal government interference with health care and education and land rights) is straight out of a conservative playbook too. But the thing is, Obama's rhetoric was so fabulous that somehow everyone thought he would be different and do something new. But it's the same annoying policies wrapped up with dashing eloquence and I'm so annoyed that I emailed my congressman and told him I didn't want taxes increased and charitable contributions made less deductible.
As I look back over the past year, there was only one politician who really seemed to say something different and bold to me and it was Ron Paul. Why didn't I support him? Maybe I'm like most Americans in that I'm scared of bold change and instead prefer to whine.
PS I don't have complaints about Michelle but I am weary of her coverage. Do you think the newspapers would rave over Cindy McCain's bare arms or just accuse her of being tacky and self-promoting?
