What Change Means John McCain

dear john mccain,

you've often said that you're clueless as to what change means, well here's what it means.
it means that obama will encourage americans to become more involved in government. it's called bottom up democracy. we will have more say because we'll be inspired to care.

it means that americans will have easier access to government. obama has said he will revamp the white house website and communicate with americans in a more direct fashion as well as televising healthcare reform debates so that we can be a part of it and affect what happens.

change means no more secret vice presidents acting as the president. it means transparency and truth. change means having talented and COMPETENT people on staff who aren't afraid to tell you the president that he's wrong or that he might want to consider another option. change means leadership and better management of resources.

change means engaging in diplomacy and peace in the middle east in the beginning, middle and end of a presidency.

it means doing everything and anything before exercising military options. it means respecting other countries and becoming a better role model and participant in the world. change means talking to adversarial leaders. that's real change.

change means tamping down on the influence that big business has on government and increasing the american people's influence.

change means getting out of iraq and getting our economy back in order. change means taking care of the poor and the vulnerable and the middle class first, not the rich and the powerful. they can fend for themselves. change means healthcare for everyone.

change means INCLUSION -- everyone matters no matter what their stripes.

and that's just for starters. see you see, there's such a stark difference between you, mccain, and obama because you offer the same and we've grown tired of it.
