During this now two year 'run for the Presidentcy,' it has been interesting to note the new buzzword 'change' pandered about by the three 'mainstream' candidates. I wonder what 'changes' they wish to accomplish, and whether their campaign slogans will match their actual performance once their January 2009 oath of office and inaugural is accomplished?

Obama seems to be the one candidate that has used the word 'change,' to drive his campaign. I wonder what 'changes' he plans to institute, since he will still be working with the 'gang' of 500 in Congress? I also wonder, since he has now distanced himself from Reverand Wright, whether he is not just another 'politician' using PR and marketing techniques for his candicacy. While Reverend Wright may have presented his 'sermons' in a format that few Americans could swallow or understand, he actually was stating nothing different than what the 9/11 Commission stated in it's reports insofar as the War in Iraq. Our errant foreign policies have created an enemy that is hard to understand, much less conquer. We invaded their soil for decades, in attempts to gain their 'resources' and land for our own purposes, and have actually 'created' this enemy which was responsible for 9/11. It is in the Commission's report, and Reverend Wright has a higher authority than Barack Obama, and was entitled in this country to express the 'truth' of what he believed. It is unfortunate that the media has so propagated such an inaccurate portrait, and that America cannot comprehend a preacher with the passion of his convictions stating the obvious in 'politically incorrect' terms, and that his former 'student' would distance himself for his own self benefit.

As far as Hillary, who knows where she stands as she flops with every state, tailoring her message to the audience.
