Obama Still Campaigning on Hope and Change

Perhaps, President Obama is campaigning on hope and change because he's hoping people will change their mind about him. Better still, he may be running on these (what we know to be false) promises, because the vast majority of Americans are still hoping for change.

It is crazy to think that his campaign camp believes this to be a good idea. To have a president who has run up the deficit more so than any other in history, has put more people on food stamps (along with Pelosi's encouragement when she said that would help the economy), driven gas prices up (the average was under $3 at the end of Bush's Presidency-$2.50), bailed out failed businesses and used funds to create green jobs that went under, allowed his family to take elaborate trips on the tax payers dime, has had no real job creation (counts temporary jobs as creating jobs, does not count the actual number of people out of jobs who do not except Government help or whose help has run out-so the actual number has been between 13%-20%+), seen the standrad of living rise but the pay continue to stay the same or be below what is needed, more college students graduate with no job prospect, is always supporting cuts to defense and sometimes military members and families, has a healthcare plan that will further cause rising costs and problems, claims to have made government operations more public (yea, right), and the home market is still on the decline.

Some claim many things that this president has done, such as, putting the environment first (what about putting the American people first, and not telling them to change vehicles or light bulbs to more expensive ones to accomodate his green agenda?), suporting the capturing and of killing Bin Laden and the Somali(which was a good thing), supporting more stem cell research, education reform (What? Where? Where's the reform, how about jobs for college students who actually graduate?), and ending the war in Iraq. For many, he seems to have done much, but for the majority of Americans, he has changed this country and they are hoping to change Presidents.
