How long will it take the average American voter to realize that the President of the United States is amazingly impotent to cause any real "change" in this country -- politically, economically, educationally, etc. -- and Barack Obama will prove no different than those who've gone before him.
Obama's had his fun taking cheap shots at George Bush and anyone else who dares to disagree with him, but he is about to discover the difference between sitting in the stands criticizing the quarterback and actually having to get in the game and run the offense. He will learn the hard way that there will always be opposition, and that the offense rarely works on the field as well as it does on the coach's chalkboard.
All those duped by Mr. Obama will soon realize that about the only thing he can change in Washington is his place of residence for the next four years.
The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them.

"In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you!"
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy
"Man is obviously made to think. It is his whole dignity and his whole merit; and his whole duty is to think as he ought."
Blaise Pascal, Pensees 146
“Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.”
- Francisco D’Ancona (Ayn Rand) Atlas Shrugged
“Cowardice asks the question: is it safe? Expediency asks the question: is it politic? Vanity asks the question: is it popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular- but one must take it simply because it is right.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage."
C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, Chapter 2
"There are only two means by which men can deal with one another: guns or logic. Force or persuasion. Those who know that they cannot win by means of logic, have always resorted to guns."
