Why do people constantly preface their criticisms of Obama with, "This guy says he's all about change, but it looks like it's the same old politics."? Do people really think that's a winning strategy? All they're really saying is, "Look! This guy's just like the other guys. Now vote for my guy!" I'm surprised the GOP hasn't adopted the same Adlai Stevensonish political strategy that they've adopted with Iraq (i.e. "You Never Had it So Good"). Hell, they've almost got me completely convinced that we should stay in Iraq until they decide we should leave, regardless of who is in the Oval Office.

Change is just a slogan. Criticizing a slogan is laughable.

As far as the topic goes, I think emptypepsi's explanation is as good as any...and a criticism of politicians from the same party, who participated in a hard-fought race to get the nomination, for joining together after the nomination has been decided reeks of desperation to accept any criticism possible.
