Uh oh, it's going to take more than just hope-n-change

Bloomberg is reporting that P-E Obama indicated that reviving the U.S. economy will require scaling back on his campaign promises as well as some personal sacrifice from all Americans. Personal sacrifice? Like what? It better not be me giving up my $1,000 bribe …uh…er…stimulus check. Millions of people had their votes bought…uh…were persuaded by Mr. Obama’s $1,000 stimulus check. P-E Obama better pay up.

Oh but that was then and this now. Like the post a couple under, P-E Obama and the Dems seem to be backtracking on everything. During the campaign it was all hope-n-change. Now it’s all deficits and sacrifice. Apparently on “This Week” yesterday P-E Obama said, “I want to be realistic here, not everything that we talked about during the campaign are we going to be able to do on the pace we had hoped.” And that’s usually what happens when you use “hope” as a method - you get nothing but disappointment. I hope I win the lottery. But my hope is so great that I won’t even buy a ticket. I’m hoping the government will buy the ticket for me. And it better be a winner.

Then we got this bit of to each according to his needs from each according to his abilities bit hope from Obama, “Everybody’s going to have to give.”

Damn! What’s next? I suppose the Israelis and Hamas are still going to hate each other after 20 Jan. No here’s what’s next. The Washington Times is reporting P-E Obama’s climate czar is a…drum roll please…socialist!

The Times says:

Until last week, Carol M. Browner, President-elect Barack Obama's pick as global warming czar, was listed as one of 14 leaders of a socialist group's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for "global governance" and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change.

By Thursday, Mrs. Browner's name and biography had been removed from Socialist International's Web page, though a photo of her speaking June 30 to the group's congress in Greece was still available.

Who knew that the socialist candidate was going to surround himself with socialist appointments? Sadly, not enough people knew to carry the day in Nov. Only about 46% of the voters knew. About 52% are hoping for their $1,000 government check.

Well you know the old saying, if you can’t achieve world peace just by showing up and hoping, you might as well raise some carbon taxes, spread the wealth around calling it a stimulus and ask everyone to make sacrifices.

Now that’s hope-n-change I can believe in.
