Conservatives will tell you what they think.
Liberals will tell you what they think you want to hear.
Democrats accused Ronald Reagan of being simply a teflon president, who was able to deliver a line. They used to discount him for being a "B movie actor" and a "teflon" president.
Democrats accused George W. Bush of being a puppet of Dick Cheney. They thought he was a simpleton who had made it to Yale and Harvard on his Dad's coattails, and who couldn't string two syllables together without tying the string to his tongue. They criticized him for not being open to criticism, that he wouldn't admit when he was wrong. That he was controlled by neo-Cons who thought the the US could spread freedom around the world with military power.
But the people of America knew the heart and sole of these two men. They knew their ideology, their philosophy and they knew the people that surrounded them because they have been in government for generations. They were to be trusted.
While the Democrats made these claims about Republicans, they find themselves with a real empty suit of their own. The vacuous philosophical and political ideology of Barrack H. Obama has never been seen before in America. And we don't know about the people around them either because we never know what a Democrat thinks because they never tell you what they really believe. All politicians, but in particular, Democrat politicians, only tell you what they think you want to hear.
The people around Barrack Obama are changing America. They are doing it at breakneck speed. Barrack Obama is just going along for the ride but we know nothing about the people who are in charge of the changes. Just look at the major changes they are rushing through Congress in the next month.
Major Health Care Nationalization. They are not simply adding a government program to address health care for uninsured. They are changing the entire system into a single payer system. They are building a structure to destroy and rebuild an entire industry. By July? I might suggest this is a little bit of a stretch, considering we are spending $2.5 trillion more than we are taking in this year.
Major Global Climate Change Legislation. Having a carbon securitization system started from scratch in the entire world? Has anyone learned anything from the mortgage securitization system that just about collapsed the entire world economy? And to complete it by the first week of July? Really?
Major Banking Regulation Reform. I haven't heard a definitive report on the causes of the economic collapse. Last I heard Barney Frank and Chris Dodd haven't accepted one bit of responsibility. Before any reform happens, we should know who is to blame in government and industry and make sure they are in jail, not writing major banking reform.
Scary?
No, just change we can believe in...and know nothing about.
