Oh Obama...

Portrait By Anthony Falbo

A year into Obama's first term in office, unemployment is higher, the national debt is higher and there are more soldiers serving in Afghanistan. When asked about it, Obama was like, "Well, technically that is change."

- Jimmy Fallon
Ya know, it's true that Obama inherited a mess. But his claims to improve everything by his first-year mark, and to give the country "change we can believe in" (change cast in a positive light by liberals) were lies. Lies. I didn't buy it then, and I'm clearly not buying it now. I wasn't much of a McCain fan. I was disappointed that in my first opportunity to vote in the presidential election, I didn't feel passionate about any of the candidates. But, my vote for McCain was a vote against Obama. Unfortunately my little vote wasn't enough to stop Obama, who seemed to have swept everyone else in my age group right off their feet. My age group, plus every other age group, actually. As he has now proven, his policies don't work. He is woefully mis-advised. I'm looking forward to real change in three years.
