The Democratic Party is still running against George W. Bush despite the fact that he is completing his 2nd term in the White House. They continue to try desperately to promote the idea that John McCain is guilty by association with the Bush administration. Focusing on the policies and "failings" of George W. Bush did not work for Kerry in 2004 and will not work for Obama in 2008. A fresh new face and a "rock star" image are meaningless without original ideas and the true change Americans are asking for. Even the Rock Star must have true musical talent or else his career is short lived and reduced to being branded a one-hit wonder. As much as Obama would like the American people to believe that he is running on a platform for change, it is becoming clear that he is using the same tired, failed Democratic party campaign promises of old. Barack Obama is correct in saying that he represents change we can believe in, because we have to do just that...BELIEVE. To believe is to accept something as fact without the substance or evidence to substantiate it. In my opinion, Barack Obama is a power hungry man of faith (in one form or another) asking you to follow and believe in him rather than a politician seeking to serve the people. We can believe in Obama's ability to lead our country no more than we can believe in Santa Clause. The 2008 presidential election is further evidence that the Democratic Party just doesn't get it.
