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.
