Again, as I've often said, CONGRESS has the bulk of the power in the Federal Government and all we do is keep putting those people (or their clones) back in office, only to get some vague sense of patriotism when the presidential races start up.
And my point was, if the people DID have any intelligence they wouldn't have continually voted in the people who MADE the term "change" sound so good.

Have you ever seen Obama in person? I have. I've watched his body language and looked into his eyes- I was only about 20 or 30 feet from him- and he came across as quite sincere. As to Hillary's contention that Obama isn't "tough enough" to withstand the conservative Republican onslaught that he's sure to face if he wins the Democratic nomination I think it would be wise for her to remember that Obama got his start in Chicago- you know, the Chicago of mayor Richard Daley, Al Capone and Blackstone Ranger fame.
I think Obama will be able to handle it- they raise 'em tough up there! And he's smart, is quick on his feet and isn't afraid to tell another a foreign leader- even if he's an ally- where to put it as he did to President Howard of Australia not too long ago. And he wants to get us out of Iraq so that we can focus our attention on bin Laden and al Qeada, a position and endeavor that I whole-heartedly support.
One thing is for certain- Obama's surge in popularity is a pretty damn good national indicator that the American People are real tired of the same old same old- and they want to see some change. I do too, which is why I voted for him in the caucus. The "Status Quo" has got to go.
