Change We Need?

Change We Need was the slogan that donned his lectern when he addressed the crowd on October 30, 2008 and  made this bold declaration: "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America!"  Those words, "fundamentally transforming," were creepy then, but the more we see of this administration and it's policies the more we realize how much we should have been "creeped-out"  by this remark and others along the campaign trail.  If only "we the people" had understood what kind of change he was talking about, perhaps we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now!  

Notice that we did have some clues!  One of the most obvious was the Obama/Ayers association. Why didn't people take this stuff serious?  The launching pad for Obama's political career was Ayers' living room!   Why would someone like Ayers, whose group (the Weather Underground) was bombing the United States, be promoting the political career of Barrack Obama?  Both seem to be clearly set on fundamental transformation of the United States, but this is not "change we need!"

Follow the trail.  Ayers' partner, Jeff Jones, heads the Apollo Alliance in New York, and it is the Apollo Allliance that was largely responsible for writing the stimulus bill.  Yes they are all about change all right, but this kind of change is the beginning of Socialism, and the end of America as we know it.  People who are bombing America are not the people you put your confidence in to guide us into a secure future.  These people are about the demise of the America we know and love!

It's time to wake up, and rescue our nation while we have a window of opportunity to do something!  We just thought we needed change before.  Now we have come to a place of desperation.  The good news is that it's not too late, and to borrow another phrase, "Yes, we can" take our country back!
