HOPING FOR CHANGE

Those of us seasoned enough to be cynical about politics are not disappointed in the least. We understood that change meant "more of the same." We know how hope is merely another way of saying "vote for me and raise your expectations."

"We are what we've been waiting for," President Obama said just days before his swearing in ceremony.

But we were not waiting for a token closing of Gitmo within a year, or an executive order which allows continued rendition of suspected enemies of America to be transported to torture-approving nations (Eygpt, Morocco, Poland) for enhanced interrogations. That constitutes outsourcing immorality.

And let's not forget that Obama approved CIA Predator killing of 22 Pakistani women and children.

The man got your hopes up. Is that what's bothering you?

It's all so simple.
