Mac-A-Matic : I agree that Obama's election was a seismic event. That was NOT what I was referring to. You totally misunderstood my post.
I was referring to the way everyone on the right keeps saying that there has been No Change Yet. It's been three weeks. THAT is what I was referring to as the anticipated seismic event -- that anyone would possibly think that Obama could completely overturn the way D.C. does business in 25 days or even less. Practically everyone I know voted for Obama and not one of them thought he was going to have cleaned up Dodge City by February 13th. It's the right that keeps pretending he promised us that.
The CHANGE in Washington has been seismic. The Congress just managed to move more money from the private sector to the public sector (read government) than ever in the history of our nation. One small step for the Democrats, one giant leap for Socialism.
