Really, Mr Obama?

Jul 26, 2009 16:12

signing statements? Not prosecuting people who support you1? Handing out ambassadorships to campaign contributors? It appears that when i said that Mr Obama was not the change we needed, i was right, but the structure was wrong2.

I was thinking "Obama is [not the change (that) we need]," meaning he's the wrong kind of change when it seems more like Obama [is not] the change (that) we need," meaning that he really isn't much change at all, except for what he spends too much of our taxmoney on...

1There was a clear case of voter intimidation by Poll watchers in PA, by a pair of Black Panthers, including one holding a nightstick-type object in a manner to imply he considered it a weapon, who were alleged to have said things along the lines indicating they were through with white presidents, and weren't going to let people mess up Mr Obama's run on the White House. There are multiple witnessses, a police response, and some video (though not as damning as the witnesses). Despite all this evidence which could put these two gentlemen in jail, the Justice Department has dropped the charges, basically, because the accused made no response to the charges. Does that mean that if I were to rob a bank then ignore my summonses, etc, the department of justice would drop charges against me, too?

2Ok, technically, if the structure in my head was wrong, I was too, but the statement was still true....
