I’m seeing the t-shirts and hearing the speeches of I’m the president for you, because I bring hope and change. Every four years we get someone saying this and then the same old politics. The speech also tells us what is wrong, how wrong and bad we are and no were do they say how to fix it or if they do tell us how they are going to fix it, it is a punishment for the working Americans. The biggest reason they don’t tell us what they will do is they know that they won’t do anything different to the bottom line. They are like the barkers at the carnival, trying to get us to play a game that we will lose at. P.T. Barnum once said, "There's a sucker born every minute." And that is what Senator Obama is truly beating on.
We head his speech in Germany and as we are witching his trip to Denver he keeps saying the same old thing. One thing that is starting to stand out in my mind is that if we were in a Marge with Obama we would be called an abusive husband. Senator Obama goes to our neighbors and verbally tells them how bad we are and that we are the problem in the neighborhood and please fell sorry for him. He come home to us and says he loves us and don’t leave me. Then he will go to his friends and co-workers and says it again.
If this is his true self then we don’t need it. Senator Obama also keeps telling us about hope and change. You can’t have hope and change when you are double minded. We as a country can’t put our hope on a speech.
The one thing that the speech leaves out is that with out faith, hope and change will never come. Faith is the mortar that keeps this country together. From the first words spoken at our birth to every time a believer prays. This country uses it faith to get it though the day. We have to remember that it is faith that keeps hope a life. If we did not have the faith and hope we would never get up and go to work, we would let this country fall and I don’t see that happening. As long as we have brave citizens in each generation that are willing to wear the military uniform, enterprising individuals and the believer that wakes up each morning thinking God that we live in America then we will serve.
The true hope and change we need, as a nation is to go back to the basics of the Constitution. The Federal government only does three things. 1. Settle disputes between the States. 2. Be a United voice to the world. 3. Defined us from foreign and internal threats. When a business is in trouble or a sports team is in a losing streak. They don’t blame the customers or fans they blame themselves and go back to the core of their organization. I do not see both Senators doing that. They are blaming the ones they need to have vote for them in November. It is not the nation that is broken it is the Congress that is in a losing streak and they just think that if they though money at it, it will fix it’s self.
So my follow Americans keep your faith in God, hope for a better tomorrow, and change in your pocket. That is what true Hope and change is.
