Same old same old?

Here we are in the Democratic National Convention, call me cynical but wasnt Sen Obama the agent for change and hope? If he sincerely believes his message how could he possibly look at the glutfest that were the parties before and after the convention it self and not grimace. The parties were totally paid for by private donation, which mean Lobbyists. I read 50 million dollars, and of course the lobbyists were streaming in left and right in jets and limos, undoubtedly with their hands out looking for returns on their investments.I saw a list of lobbyists, and here is a surprise, each and everyone of them has a pending bill somewhere in the congress in the coming session. Here is another surprise, everyone who was anyone in in politics were at these parties. I wasnt really all upset or offended, I did expect a little out cry, afterall hope and change seems to a little hard to find in the place where you think it might be abundant. I need to ask Sen Obama should you win this election exactly what kind of change will occur? I only see one heck of a lot of the same with everyone involved spinning it into a pretty little package. It's my opinion and I am entitled to voice it.
Always with love,
Tony.
