What Happened to the Change Agent?

[QUINNSCOMMENTARY]

For those of you who support Mr. Obama because of his change theme and appeal, I have a question.

Today the good Senator “pledged” that if you earn no more than $250,000 a year (the very, very great majority of Americans) he would not raise your taxes. As we have learned from the past that may end up after the fact being further defined to perhaps income taxes only, but nevertheless it is an obvious appeal to the middle class in American. Ok, that’s fair, but in the process of making that pledge he has closed the door on solving many of our problems like Social Security and Medicare and a few other big dollar items. You can squeeze only so much from 5% of all Americans.

He now sounds more like the traditional politician than a change agent. :-5

Couple this with the selection of one of the most ingrained Washington insiders as Vice President and it’s hard to see how “change” will be accomplished, or have we redefined "change?" Perhaps change is now merely new policies which of course will be the case no matter who is elected President.

Obama’s appeal to younger people, minorities, even women appeared to be as a result of a new fresh face shaking up the establishment.

If you act and think like the establishment, how does that work?

And before you say it, McCain is no different, but that is exactly the point. The only difference is deciding how to redistribute wealth and the size and scope of government in the lives of Americans, not a new story.

What do you really expect from a President Obama? :-3

Well, it's been 3 1/2 hours, so apparently ... nothing.

Good point, or there are fewer people out there who want admit they are a supporter.

Perhaps we should offer a free mooseburger with each reply.
