"The American People Voted for Change"

That's what President Obama said in an angry response to Republicans who won't go along with the Nancy Pelosi/Harry Reid spending bill. Well, you're right Mr. President, the American people voted for change, but unfortunately you never articulated what that change would be.
You didn't promise the American people that you would spend hundreds of millions of dollars on STD prevention, or billions for student aid, expanded welfare and health-care benefits, the hundreds of millions for better museums and prettier government buildings, and the millions for smoking-cessation programs and bee insurance, yes, bee insurance, to protect bee keepers potential losses if and when bees die off and can't produce honey.
These "much needed" programs that the president warns we must protect NOW to avoid an "irreversible" economic crises, never ONCE came up during the campaign. Hillary was right when she said that Obama was great at giving "speeches."

Voters may have voted for change, but they didn't vote for a train wreck.
