"I'll have to be loyal to the old ways and die out with them if needs must." says Mr. Fezziwig in Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol. Us too say the gang at the lake.

Obama's Drift into Shame
If Obama called for change during the campaign, maybe Nancy Pelosi's smirk saying essntially that campaign promises are just the useless lies that most have always thought them, confirms that Obma is just another "Chicago Style" politician. Change meant not the change of heart and style most assumed, but just a change of sides in a shameless battle. As in Chicago, one can ask is someone getting a bribe or cut of all political deals, and the answer is always yes. The only thing that changes is who gets the cut or deal. Many assumed Obama was above that. He is not. That is fully clear. Change to Obama is that his people get the deals, not that the country emerges from its interanl strife. He must have deeply misunderstood Kennedy's "Ask not what your country can do for you, Ask what you can do for your country." Obama is more "Ask what your country can do for you while you think of what to ask for next." Obama's has failed, or lied, concerning his goals for the country and his term. An honorable man, which many thought he was, he is not. He should step down from the office before he shames it and himself more.
