Presto Chango!

So everybody keeps telling me they don't much like Hillary cause they think she will be more of the same, and Obama will really be new and different. Not just the same old Washington crap again! Fresh, innovative, NEW NEW NEW! Still has that new politician smell.

But I remain confused as to exactly what he will do differently. There is an enormous amount of inertia in Washington, and one president cannot change it. You can't even pass laws. You're sick of the same old, same old -- what are you sick of? Lobbyists, Big Oil, bribes and kickbacks? You'd have to elect a completely new Congress to get rid of that, and it would still only take them six months to become the same old Congress again.

So what is he going to do that is so different? I would really like to know. Cause I'm of the opinion that he seems different cause he's only been a US Senator for like ten minutes, and he has no idea how hard it is to get anything done, and that new politician smell wears off real fast once you start trying. And if we're going to have more of the same, we might as well have somebody who knows how to do it all already, yeah?
