Has anybody noticed?

I don't think anybody noticed, but a real revolution is underway....economic, social and political....while we debate many more minor differences that distract from the real battle. When Obama ran for the presidency, he promised change, and the voters responded by placing him in office. It was a signal that the people of America are fed up with the status quo.

Now we are at the crossroads, debating health care reform, military response in other lands and the costs of our impending changes. Leaders in Washington still don't get it. The voters are not getting what they sought when they cast their ballots. Once again, the elected and the anointed have reverted to a more cautious approach, always fearful of a mistake that may cost them in future elections. Instead of boldly going forward as promised, our leaders are searching for a middle ground sugar-coated with compromise. As house speaker Harry Reid suggested, "at least we hope to get something."

Well Mr. Speaker that something is not good enough. Voters demanded change and now our president vacillates over the question of bringing our uniformed men and women out of Afghanistan and Iraq.....and Congress struggles over health care reform while the debt continues to pile up in military spending in other lands. Has anybody noticed? This is a revolution and hopefully will remain peaceful if our leaders can read the handwriting on the wall. We have spent trillions of dollars in "nation building" without good results. It is time to cut our losses and come home. The corporate military complex that has dominated Washington must be downsized before this revolution turns nasty. Has anybody noticed? I don't think so.
