Challenging the Status Quo (none / 0)
  1. It is enough to campaign on Hope and Change if the majority of the people are not willing to challenge exactly what is "Hope and Change".  The opportunity to challenge Obama and the Democrats who refused any questioning of his platform was lost during the primaries and general election.  It is sad to see so many Democrats mimic the worst of the Republicans when they defend Obama like W was defended - with blinders on. 

    I never thought that changing the status quo meant giving up many of the rights women fought for in the 70's.  At least when the Republicans do it they are at least honest about it both publicly and privately.  When the Democrats do it they speak well publically and then destroy it privately. 

    Many voters have short memories - Bush will not be a part of the 2012 election but the Special Deals of the Health Care bill will be and it won't be pretty.
