Surprise! Change is not what you thought it meant. Barack Obama used the words “change you can believe in” in his race for the White House. He never defined the meaning of those words.
It turns out most of us misunderstood his intentions. He did not mean throw everyone out who has ever worked in Washington, D.C. He meant change from the methods and philosophy of both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.
We can already see that this is happening with the selection of Rahm Emanuel as Chief of Staff and the possible appointment of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. What we will see at the end of the day, I believe, is an Obama administration made up of some of America’s most talented people. I anticipate that some of them will be Republicans.
This could mean a unified federal government! What will Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and the other right wing talk radio hosts say if this situation should come to pass? “They are all RHINOS” (Republicans in name only).
Exactly what is wrong with a Unity Government? Well, for the first time in a long time we might see laws passed that will make our nation function for the benefit of everyone. That is change I can believe in.
