Change is not stagnation.

There has been much speculation going on, for quite some time, about how effective Obama will be at creating the change he has campaigned on. So far he has appointed and reappointed the same old people who have been in the white house creating the current shit-hole called America. There was much surprise in these appointments. There was also some recent outcry (mostly from the gay community) when Obama announced that at his inauguration one of the speakers would be a known conservative christian minister. And people seem to be shocked by all of this. Here's my question: why?

I've said it before and I'll say it again- a corrupt system will always remain corrupt regardless of who is "running" it. Until the system is truly changed, it won't work correctly. Obama's piddly promises of change have so far shown themselves to be quite shallow. His idea of change is far from enough to create the far-reaching change needed to actually correct our fucked up, power-hungry, over-reaching, corrupt, self-destructive government. It appears that the momentum has fizzled out since election day. But casting a vote isn't enough. There is much work still to be done...
