Barack Obama's Plan for America, the Blueprint for Change

I am still too much in shock from what the Republicans have done to America and to the world to blindly jump on another bandwagon and espouse the Democrats' philosophy so completely. I may never recover from what George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice and others have done; I have lost all faith and "hope" in any government, in any politician. I am totally disillusioned with the world of politics.

I am now considering wild ideas to reform everything, take a huge step back and think how we could change the whole political system overnight. I find it so hard to support any politician these days, if I could vote to get them all thrown out to start anew, believe me, I would.

So, when they presented me this new politician called Barack Hussein Obama II, branding him as the new modern and young President of tomorrow who will save us all, you bet I had my doubts. So I decided to read his book "The Audacity of Hope". I thought, he will most probably be the next American President, I might as well find out what he is about.

Obama does infer in his book that no Democratic administration would be able to achieve these grand schemes unless Republicans also wish to see America get out of the mud and sort itself out.

If Obama will truly go out of his way to end the corporate culture's control over everything in Washington with the power of money. If he will truly  bring about transparency, end the abuses of the last administration, and invest so much on all sorts of social securities, maybe he could restore my faith in the Democrats. Well, if they are all mostly asleep, at least I know the President will not be.

Is this what people supporting Obama have been reading, his blueprint for change? No wonder Hillary Clinton was beaten. Sounds like a utopia, but that's what we need right now, any kind of crazy idea, anything but Bush and the Republicans.

There are so many "Obama will do this", and "Obama will do that", that one wonders where he will find the money for all his reforms and social securities.

Silly me, if we were able to stop spending so many billions on those wars in the Middle East, Obama would have enough money for all his reforms, and more. I suppose also that the end of tax breaks to large corporations alone would bring enough billions to build the new health care program and educational reforms he is hoping for, that we are all hoping for.

About his new energy policy though, vowing to renewable fuels and ethanol, I would think he should be aware by now that the food crisis is due mostly to that, the use of land for fuel instead of growing food, which highlights his serious omission of anything about the worldwide food crisis in his plan.
