How Do You Like The “Change” So Far

On January 7, 2009, in Politics, by ralph

It’s been about three months since the elections. Have you noticed all the “Change” in Washington since Obama’s been elected? Let’s see. About half of the appointed positions in his Cabinet and elsewhere are old Clinton appointees/buddies. The rest are mostly Chicago hacks and friends. His Cabinet hasn’t even been seated yet and one appointee, Gov. Richardson of New Mexico, already had to resign because of a pending Grand Jury investigation into questionable political campaign contributions. Then Obama nominates Clinton’s former Chief of Staff for CIA director. This guy has zero experience in intelligence matters. Of course the Obama team says he’s qualified by virtue of the fact that he read intelligence briefings while at the White House. Gee, I guess since I read the Wall Street Journal, I’m qualified to be the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Director!

Let’s not forget all the other fun things going on in the Senate. Harry Reid, with Obama’s initial support, doesn’t want to let Burris be seated in Obama’s place in the Senate. Gov. Blagojevich from Illinois is showing the world just how corrupt the Democratic machinery in Chicago is. Wait a minute, isn’t that where Obama spent all of his prior political career learning the ropes? Oh wait, the mainstream media already told us that he’s too intelligent to have been involved in any type of political shenanigans like that. Ten to twenty years of association with the likes of Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers and Gov. Blagojevich had absolutely no effect on the guy. Heck, he never even knew the guys were like that. After all, he told us he was only 8 years old when Ayers was committing his acts of terrorism. That certainly absolves him of any responsibility for his association with Ayers as an adult. Rezko’s wife paying full price on the same day for the adjacent property to Obama’s when he got his property at a significant discount. Purely coincidence.

It looks like Al Franken and the Democratic operatives in Minnesota have magically found enough votes to steal the election in that state. Also, you know, like Caroline Kennedy, you know, is like doing a bang-up job in New York pleading her strong credentials to be appointed to take Clinton’s vacated seat in the Senate.

Who else?
– Rep. Tim Mahoney of Florida for infidelity
– Rep. Charles Rangel of New York, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, remains under investigation by a House ethics panel
– Rep. William Jefferson of Louisiana is awaiting trial on charges of bribery, money laundering and misusing his congressional office
– Gov. Eliot Spitzer of New York resigned after revelations that he was involved in a prostitution ring
– Senator John Edwards for infidelity while his wife was recovering from cancer (a real swell guy)

Yes sir, the Democrats with leaders like Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Al Franken, Jack Murtha and all the other outstanding liberals are just what this country needs. If Caroline Kennedy gets nominated, that’ll complete the package for sure. Of course our saving grace is that we just elected the great “Community Organizer” and Mr. Joe (never looked in a mirror that I didn’t like) Biden. There’s one heck of a team to lead the free world.
