Here's the Change you've been asking for:


Are you feeling better about January 20th and a new President is sworn in?

Ah, yes, experience does count. Lets look at our new President's home State of Chicago, a typical Democratic town and who runs it:

Senators: Barack Obama & Dick Durbin

Representative: Jesse Jackson, Jr.

Illinois Governor: Rod Blogojevich (recently arrested)

Illinois House leader: Mike Madigan

Illinois Attorney General: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)

Chicago Mayor: Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J. Daley)

The leadership in Illinois ? .....all Democrats.

Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago .

Body count in the last six months: 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago vs. 221 killed in Iraq

State pension fund - $44 Billion in debt, worst in the country.

Cook County (Chicago) sales tax -- 10.25% highest in country. (Look it up).

Chicago school system - rated one of the worst in the country. [It's leader now selected for Secretary of Education]

Of course, they're all blaming each other. They can't blame Republicans because there aren't any in leadership roles.

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois .
And he's going to "change" Washington politics for us?
Good luck and may God help us

New Years Resolutions: Try what you like

Not a bad idea. Always been a big fan of Twyla Tharp. That is her vision and boldness.
