Mr. Obama Goes to Washington

"Change You Can Believe In"

A wonderful Inauguration day. Full of high expectations, high hopes and relief that "Ding, Dong, the Wicked Witch (ie: Republican Party) is Dead".

Yet... we have a cabinet full of political friends, cronies, paybacks, former Clinton administration appointees.

Where's the change, Mr. Obama?


Accountability??
A bailout plan (which is only needed by the CEO's who have their multi-million (or billion) dollar salaries at risk lacks any accountability -- even worse, it carries millions in pork barrel promises. Even the million to replace the sod at the Washington Monument as a direct result of the crowds at the inauguration. Hm. When I don't have the luxury of spending on new seed & water (which I never do -- green lawns are one of the most anti-ecological and economical expenditures in this country), I let my lawn go brown. Proudly.

Wonder how many people THAT million could directly help?


Where is the change, Mr. Obama?

Green nation??
see above. And where are the infastructure, ecology-promoting programs "WE" must embrace?

Where is the change, Mr. Obama?

Politics as usual. Paybacks, bargaining, games, payoffs. As usual.

So what can I believe in now?
