Barack Obama has been campaigning on one thing and one thing only: Change. His posters proudly proclaim "Change we can believe in." He talks about change and how he is a new face to revolutionize Washington.

All this may be true, but what is the point of using the word "change"? Why not just explain your solutions to the problems with our government right now?

The answer is that he is afraid that these solutions are going to be unpopular. By using the term "change", he can effectively mask all of his ideas. His speeches sound great, as he hails himself as a new John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King. But after you hear them, stop for a second and think about what he said. There is absolutely no substance, it's amazing! In his speech after New Hampshire, he quickly repeats the typical campaigning Democrat mantra: healthcare for the unfortunate, middle class tax cuts, end the war in Iraq. But all of this pales in comparison to his cries for change and bipartisanship.

Recently I was having a pleasant debate with a liberal Obama supporter, and I explained that liberalism doesn't win in this country, which is why he will probably lose in November. But he stated, word for word: "Liberalism isn't running. Change is." So I asked, what does he want to change? This friend begins to rattle off the things Barack wants to do. And I stop him and say, that's liberalism! "Change" is just an alias for liberal "solutions" to the problems we face. I'm as ready to admit the problems with our public policy, but the difference is how we solve these problems.

Hillary and even Mitt Romney have embraced this concept, although Romney is saying "Washington is broken." This is at least more accurate, saying that we have problems to fix rather than go and change everything. I still have issues with it though.

A quick note on bipartisanship. On the Tonight Show, Huckabee said that we have to end "horizontal politics", vis a vis left vs. right. Instead we have to go "up", not down. This is not a conservative. Conservatives know that we can only take the country up by going right first. Furthermore, Barack's record is hardly bipartisan, voting with is party on some 97% of bills. I'm all for that, as I just made clear, but do not try to fool us or yourself, Mr. Obama, by claiming to be "bipartisan."
