Where's the Change? (Congress, Pelosi, Obama, leader)

[1eyedjack]

I thought the big promise of this election was "Change". No more of the same old Washington politics. Looks like the same crap to me! I thought President Obama is the leader, why is he being led by Pelosi and the far left. I still don't understand why we have a tax cheat, and part of the Wall St. problem running the IRS either!
The last stimulus has $78 billion that disappeared, that was rushed through by both parties, now they want to rush this through, more money wasted!
The President said it is a spending bill last night, and earmarks always get added, huh?...some change!
The last bill had a ton of pork in it, this has more! Looks like the same BS going on! "Change", ya right!

Its not as easy as he thought. I think he wanted Daschle because he knew he needed insiders to have any power. The sad truth in Washington is you have to play ball. The change you want can happen but it will take time. All Obama can do is start the trend, in the mean time he has to be able to work with congress if he wants to accomplish anything which means accept its politics.

Obama apologizing for choosing Daschle is one more apology than we have ever gotten or ever will get from George W. Bush. It's a change. Got to start somewhere.
