Whether John McCain, Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama ultimately takes the White House, I expect the country to run in 'pretty 'pret-ty much the same way it has. All three of the finalists for the presidency represent rep-resent slight variations on the same theme. They might argue over taxes, abortion and other issues, but none of them wants to blow up the system and create real change. A senator brought up through the two party system and beholden to maintaining that system cannot effect real change. When Obama, a sitting senator and a devoted party par-ty line Democrat can push himself as the "change" candidate, you know that no hope for actual change exists. Obama portrays himself him-self as an outsider, but his actual credentials show that he's as inside as they come. This isn't some maverick mav-erick beholden to nobody. Obama ia a Democrat-for-life who gave a speech at the at the 2004 party convention con-vention nominating the ultimate party hack, John Kerry, for president. . Most people, the voting vot-ing public included, like talking about change and hearing speeches about it a lot more than they like actually making changes.

We could have picked an experienced businessman, business-man, demanded a true outsider or begged someone some-one whose life does not revolve around maintaining maintain-ing the power structure in Washington to run, but we did not. Instead, we sorted through the usual assortment of senators and governors, ending up with more of the same. Basically, we looked at the nation with all its problems and said, "you know who can fix this? The same people who haven't been able to fix it before." Despite the fact the we have terrifyingly high oil prices, rapidly falling fall-ing home values and an economy that's stumbling like Paris Hilton on a Saturday Sat-urday night, people still voted for exactly what we currently have. The hairstyles hair-styles might be slightly different as is the rhetoric but anyone who believes Obama, McCain or Clinton Clin-ton will truly shake things up is deluding himself. The only way to truly fix what's broken would be to have a president who owes no political favors and has no Washington Townhomes In Salem Starting At $179,000 n in Hil li IrJiiiiiclM'fteiiito's! oi!r I" c!:oIon of llo Flat TirG; LlijiiJ Hid Liiii'aiiuj fiua!

To overhaul our bloated, inefficient system, we would need a person able to make enemies en-emies without having to worry about the politics.
