Our trainee president mistakenly thinks he has a mandate for change, but he actually has no such mandate. I know he droned on about CHANGE until all our ears were bleeding last year. I dare say, at some point. no one was even really listening to that any more. They were just all caught up in the process of electing the first "black" president or getting rid of George Dubya, or whatever.
No one was that excited about McCain. It is still a mystery to me how he was even the Republican candidate. Oh yes, there was little to no alternative. Then McCain (or someone) picked Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate and all hell broke loose. Republicans put on a happy face and pretended that Palin was the boost that McCain needed to put him over the top. However, what McCain really needed was a brain transplant. He needed his liberal brain removed and replaced with a conservative brain. McCain was more like a traditional Democrat than Obama, who was and is a socialist.
In my opinion, Barry is president because most did not want McCain / Palin and most blacks just liked him because he is a "black" man (at least as far as the KKK is concerned).
Considering America has a conservative majority, I doubt that the voters were voting for this dictatorship, putting the government in charge of every aspect of our lives. I bet if you polled everyone who voted for Obama, a majority of them would not list CHANGE as their reason, and I would further bet that many simply voted against McCain. I thought of just not voting, but I did not want to help cause an Obama landslide.
The only way voters can make it clear whether they wanted CHANGE or whether they just did not want a Republican (closet Democrat) anymore is to let their representatives and senators know how they feel about all this nationalization of everything by the Obama administration.
Of course, if you like to be told what to do, if you do not care about democracy and capitalism, if you do not care about the American dream, keep sitting back and doing nothing. And hope it all works out for the best. Of course, if they succeed and your outspoken neighbors start disappearing, maybe you made the right choice.
