Did We Miss Something Along the Way?
November 20, 2008

The election is over. America lost and a new era in American government is soon to emerge, right? Wait, are we sure a new change is coming? Pardon me for a moment as I make a case against this so-called new change.

When reading the daily news, Op-Eds and listening to discussion about the Obama transition team, exactly where are the new people? The same names we heard throughout the 1990s, names such as Richardson, Kerry, Clinton, Raines, Daschle and Gorelick are being written about daily.

Seriously, Obama’s advisory board is kidding, right? Gorelick's history shows while she worked at Fannie Mae, Fannie Mae had to be bailed out by the government in September as part of a $200 billion dollar deal. Ms. Gorelick left the company just as it was coming under attack for huge accounting failures. Let us not forget her role at the Justice Department under Attorney General Janet Reno, in which she allegedly created an intelligence “wall” that hindered counterterrorism agents in the years before the horrific attack on September 11, 2001.

More names, such as Franklin Raines, financial advisor of Barack Hussein Obama and served under Bill Clinton as his budget director, are being mentioned. Let’s refresh our memories for a moment.

Raines walked away from the doomed mortgage giant Fannie Mae with a cool $50 million dollars. It is alleged that Fannie Mae CEO's cooked the books for years to show a fake profit which would boost their yearly bonuses. Will we see a senate investigation? Please do not make me laugh. No, we will not see a Senate investigation. Obama will appoint Franklin Raines to a highly influential position within the American government.

Now we will take a quick glance at the Senate, the chairman of the senate banking committee, democrat Chris Dodd, is the numero uno recipient of Fannie Mae political contributions. The second highest recipient was, guess who, first term senator Barack Hussein Obama. Oh yeah, another one of Obama's top advisors, Jim Johnson is also a former CEO of Fannie Mae who walked off with about $35 million dollars. This is all a matter of public record if you wish to look this up. Do be careful, if gang Obama decides you are digging up too many facts, you’ll be tagged like Joe the Plumber.

So, did we miss something along the way? Change? This is the Change we were hammered with for two long years? Now wait, this is the change we were waiting for or expected to embrace? Old failed policies from the 1990s, the same policies that gave us 911, the Recession in 2001, failed foreign policy, along with failed economic policies?

In other words, Obama is the only change we are going to see? A different face on the same old tired failed Socialist ideas implemented by the Clintons, but at a more extreme rate?

My fellow Americans, we are going to be given the same old tired failed policies of the 1990s, but with a different twist. Your Constitutional Rights will not matter with this administration. As an American you will not have the right to question this administration or dissent, or you will be labeled a racist.

There will not be anything different from the 1990s other than you will be expected to be silent while Obama implements Socialist Marxist ideas to expand government. While doing so, these policies will take your hard earned dollars to give to the ones who are considered victims of the rich evil Americans.

Get ready America, because the change you expected is not going to take place. The change that is on the way will destroy the middle class and pave the way for a larger section of serfdom to take shape.

The Elitist are toasting to their victory my fellow Americans, while the Kool-Aid is wearing off. Good Luck, because those of you who voted for this so-called change will eventually understand you have been duped.
