Meet the old boss

Background: Change? I guess it depends on how you define it. Age? Skin color? Party affiliation? Those are certainly different but those are insignificant characteristics. Obama loves big government, just like his predecessors.

Despite the slogans and the media hype, Americans did not vote for meaningful change. Skin color, age, and party affiliation were the only substantial differences between the two major candidates. Obama, like Bush, Clinton and countless presidents before him, believes that government is the solution to our problems. According to this government-as-savior ideology, everything can be solved with more regulation, control and money. Americans seeking change voted for Ron Paul or Bob Barr, not Obama.
