We learned change for the sake of change was/still is Obama's mission for our nation. Obama learned last year voters were not happy with his change for the sake of change.
In 2011, Obama must/will change in order to get us to change our view of him so he can return to The White House with his wife who also wants us to believe she has changed.
The Republicans will change, or give the appearance of doing so, because they cannot stay in office being what they were and probably still are.
Pelosi and Reid are so ideologically hidebound they are incapable of change and, in fact, believe changes they imposed should not be changed.
McConell and Boehner are also Belt-way insiders and will not likely change unless Teapartiers pressure them to change.
Politicians, in general, are habitual spenders and cannot change unless voted out of office.
We know N Korea, Iran and radical Islamist terrorists will not change, and why should they? They believe they are winning. Why do they believe this? Because most Western leaders are feckless and Obama, The Justice and Security Agencies of our government are blinded by reality. If you do not know and believe your enemies you cannot defeat them.
So the question is, will whatever change we experience in 2011 be for the nation's good or more of the same?
HANG AROUND IN ORDER TO FIND OUT! 2011 SHOULD PROVE AN INTERESTING YEAR!
As for yours truly, I thought about changing then fell asleep.
That said, these "paraprosdokians" are from a friend, fellow memo reader and very disciplined tough nosed West Pointer. (See 1 below.)
