Reply #40: Well, in case you hadn't noticed, there is a Dem in control of the WH now

and that changes everything. IOW, instead of criticizing anything that spouts forth from the current administration, you're supposed to direct your criticism at the previous administration, even though the Obama WH has so far proven themselves to be closer to a Bush/Cheney wet dream of a successor than anything even remotely resembling the "change" he campaigned on. Bush's Third Term run amok.

However, the problem isn't with the current administration. It's with the fact that people see them for what they actually do as opposed to what they say they intend to do. It's all about public perception and the only "change" needed here is that of the way the public views the current administration. Their goal is to change the way the public sees them but maintain the same exact policy at all cost. That's the way to maintain the status quo which, after all, is the government's one and only job. Everything else is just for show.
