how many of these words of wisdom will Obama’s “Change” be opposing? **1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. 2. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong 3. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich. 4. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. 5. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence. 6. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. 7. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. 8. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. 9. You cannot establish security on borrowed money. 10 You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they will not do for themselves.** ---

And now let there be four straight years of disappointed americans because Obama can’t create the workers utopia he described. BUT, hell I will be open minded about it all. Not like I can change any of it. If they actually manage to fix things, which I do not think they will, I will have to rethink all of my political beliefs. ---
