That Hopey, Changey Thing Works For Me!

Last week at the first Teabegger's convention, Sarah Palin asked people if that hopey, changey thing was working for them. Naturally, like lemmings headed out to sea the rabid crowd laughed and said no. Well, if the people in the audience thought about it, they should have reversed the question and asked Sarah if it worked for her. Of course she would have have laughed and said no, but that answer is just a small part of her hypocrisy.

Of course it worked for her! Look where she is, standing in front of a podium of adoring, loving fans who didn't have a clue of who she was 18 months ago. And that is the crux of my blog, there are people who have succeeded, like it or not because of President Obama. His mantra of hope and change for better or worse has transformed people from relative obscurity to overnight celebrity and stardom.

Sarah Palin was a complete unknown until John McCain, who was losing badly to then candidate Barak Obama pulled the trigger, putting Palin on the ticket as Veep. Ever since he star has risen, appearances on SNL, Fox News, written a book that has made her millions, hell, she's everywhere, and now, she has become an spokesperson for Fox News, as well as talk as a 2012 GOP Presidential hopeful. So, how can she stand in front of a crowd and say that the hopey changey thing hasn't helped her, that's what she said and she's lying. Maybe instead of bashing our President, she needs to thank him daily for taking her out of Alaska.

The hopey, changey thing sure has helped me. Last year I was in Atlanta, Ga not knowing that my services would be terminated in a month. I was there doing well, but looking to do better. Yes, I was let go and out of work for 4 months, but it could have been a lot worse. Now, here I am in Memphis, TN and look what has happened in the 6 months since I moved here - everything! In this picture I'm standing in the middle of Nanjing Row in Shanghai. If you told me last year I'd be doing this or that my salary would increase almost 50 per cent then you would think me to be nuts, but sure enough this happened. Hopey and changey did me well, I surely not complaining.

The point is that hope and change is here, you, the individual have to recognize and take advantage when your turn comes. Don't believe people like Sarah Palin because the last thing she wants is for hope and change to come to you, Why? Because not believing in hope or change keeps her employed, that's why. Ask any Senate or House GOP member if they want hope or change, of course not, they want to keep people afraid of hope and change while benefiting from it at the same time. For all their ranting and raving about the "Spendulus Package" who's the first in line claiming credit when the first shovel is turned on a new project from the Stimulus? You guessed it, GOP senators whose districts and states are benefiting from the same program they tried to kill.

Hopey and changey are here and for anyone to tell you the opposite is a fool, so don't get fooled by a fool whose only hope for change is controlling you. The people in the audience in Nashville last week hung on every word Sarah Palin spoke or wrote on her hand. Hope and change came for her as she continues to fleece her flock.
