The challenge of the President to create the changes that he campaigned on had the support of the majority of the American people who voted him into office. The party is over now and the time to support him is really more important now; because we now have the opportunity to actually bring changes that are needed. How many Americans actually subscribe to the concept of self-government? I wonder...

"It's a change we can believe if we believe that we can change." A friend left that comment on YouTube regarding this video.

Spadecaller...good post. at this moment in time what it comes right down to is "we have little to loose". It requires the rich to start to invest in America instead of exploiting and hiding their money away. Corporations must start to hire Americans and keep jobs in America.

Thanks for commenting.
Yes, I agree. Although I don't like to see phony wars promulgated and then poverty forcing our young people into the military to fight wars that do nothing more than make the military industrial complex richer.-

True...we will never know exactly what he meant by that. Hopefully, he didn't mean militarily. I know Kennedy was elitist but he did seem to be a compassionate man an agenda like the 'Bay of Pigs" was thrust on him.

He did serve his country & he didn't have to...he could have easily got a legitimate medical exemption.
I am tired of the wars,secret agendas, economic warfare so I do hope our new President Barak Obama can make some

All good points SC. The ball remains in the hands of "we the people". We are sadly aware that the forces of evil (for lack of a better term) do want him (and America) to fail. After 1 day in Office, Limbaugh began saying exactly that...he wants him to fail. But it really isn't Obama himself who is being subverted, it is the soul of the country...the very essence of our nature that is under siege. It took the abject failures and lunacy of the Bush cabal to push enough people into acting on behalf of the nation (the world, and their own) interests.

Now the outcome is in the hands of the people to continue to support and act. If we think 1 man can do it by himself, we will fail because the opposition has the looted resources,ownership of an occupied the media, and a proven track record of what can be only described as acts of deception at their disposal. We already heard from a contingent who have blamed Obama for Robert's flub, (ironically when Obama was a senator his vote was cast against Roberts being qualified for the Supreme Court...looks like he was correct) and these same brainwashed minions tried to blame Obama for the looting of the American economy months before ever taking office. Keep their feet to fire, it's up to us to thwart the looters and their pitifully brainwashed followers.
America is better than that - humanity, integrity, and freedom are worth far more than all the looted treasure in this world. Those who can't comprehend this are to be pitied, but thwarted none the less. -

Sorry I haven't viewed the video yet but I feel that there is going to be a real uphill battle as far as special interest influence goes. Right now not only is the US. having economic problems but these problems are worldwide, and if I was a member of a think tank group I would be reminding the President of history. In the last few years the world has changed so much and we are having new countries come to power as far as economic times are concerned and as history has proved economic hardships are a precursor for military conflicts. I hate to be called a person who is running around yelling that the sky is falling but in the next few years we will see protectionist moves by many countries as they try and protect their economies, this will lead to trade wars and finally to military conflict. Right now there is the ability to overproduce comsumer goods and as sad as it is to say it will be war that remidies that situation. There are others who are aware of this fact of history and will be advising the new president of their feelings and most of those work for the idustries who profit from war. They will sell their case as a good defense is the best offense.

Obama has been saying CHANGE for over 2 years now. Obama never did defined "Change" in his run for the Whitehouse, that's why he won. Most everyone beleive CHANGE means...what ever you want it to mean. Somehow that kind of crap works for the democrats. NO republicans would buy that kind of tripe though.

Obama has defined change quite specifically. One among several of them was to discontinue torturing prisoners; another was to close down Gitmo and the secret detention camps where prisoners are denied the right to a fair and prompt trial. He has signed executive orders already dealing with these.-

Change we can believe in or not?? Are we at war or not? The left is saying the war on terror is over, but we just had a drone strike in Pakistan! So are we at war or not? The consequences can be very severe if we are not.

Of course no Republicna will buy into change. It means going back to the law defined by the Constitution. Abiding by treaties we've sifned like the Geneva convention and have a respoinsible government not one which went off on lunatic poroijects.

Good story and video. The military industrial complex is humongous. Managing something so large is quite a task. I worked as a contractor for the military and I know first hand the enormity of it. I don't see a simple way to control the industry. These corporations work side by side with the government. I used to sit in meetings with Captains O6 paygrade that had utter control over millions and millions of taxpayer dollars and that was just in one location. These military budget handlers drew contractors like flies. Sometimes I really wondered who was who. They played tennis together, they took vacations together and they knew each others families. All of these players report to the Admiral who then reports to the Secretary of the Navy. The more money and things under control by a military officer is directly proportional to his rank. So by increasing their budget they become more powerful and attain greater rank. Sometimes they have so much money they have to find ways to spend it. One story I remember in particular was about the janitor that we had. He used to clean the offices evry morning and he worked out of a small supply closet. Word got out that the fiscal year was ending and they hadn't spent all the money. So in order to spend it, they bought everyone in the entire building including the contractors brand new top of the line computers. That included the Janitor who now had a $3,500.00 Apple computer in his janitorial closet. It just served as a paper weight, because the janitor was completely computer illiterate!

A signed document to close Gitmo in ONE YEAR. Why not one month?
Is it a hollow endeavor to honor his campaign rhetoric or a well conceived plan to assist in protecting the country?-

Obama placed the cart in front of the horse on the Gitmo thing. He's closing it, but has NO IDEA where he's going to put the detainees. He should have had a plan for that first.
Reply
No Countries want them, many of the countries the detainees reside from, those countries don't want them either. GEE I WONDER WHY. I guess those countries leaders are much smarter then ours.-

Rush vs. you
b-happy 2 hours ago
I don't see the difference between what Rush said and what you Libs. said for the last eight years....
You wanted Bush's policy on torture to FAIL since you didn't support it right?
You wanted Bush's policy on the environment to FAIL since it was such a horrible policy right?
You wanted Bush's policy on wireless phone tapping to FAIL since you didnt support that. Right?
What's the difference between what Rush believes and what you believe? If you believe that what Rush says is hate, and you thought the same things about Bush's policy's you didn't support, are you a hater too?
I would suggest that instead of going to media matters or any of your other Liberal sites where you can copy and paste taken-out-of-context quotes from Rush Limbaugh, you should actually read the whole segment on what he said. Maybe you wouldn't come up with such blind sheeple type articles that appease to the left but without the full truth behind the words spoken by Rush.
BTw, where is all the hate postings by your Liberal friends against George Bush? Did the agent orange make you forget it or are you just biased to the point that you only post things that make Obama look good and everyone else bad? I would call that hate. Reply
***************
I take this IM from "b-happy" as a "Personal" attack since they have belittled and used my exposure to Agent Orange as a direct attack. How do I handle this abuse????
I want and believe in "Change", but as long as there is so much HATE out there it will be difficult. I am on time out for awhile.... -

LOL... Yup.. right on! (sarcasm)
How well did that work? No regulation of the banks, mortgage companies, and trade policies has proven devastating to the nation.Look how well it has worked. It has destroyed manufacturing in the U..S. and nearly wiped out the middle class. We are facing a depression because of that kind of irresponsible voodoo.-

There is certainly a difference. And, what we have had is no and bad regulation under Bush and Reagan's administrations. If you remember the last stock market crash; it was due to Reagan's trickle down economics. This has been the Republican mantra for years. Even the "great" Greenspan finally admits that it is a flawed policy and that in retrospect he can now see he was wrong for promoting it.

The Franklin declaration, "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither" is, as always, applicable.

Thanks for the great video, Spade. It reminds us to be ever-vigilant of our rights.
For the last eight years might has equaled right. Obama's gift is to understand and to act to enforce the opposite. -
