Barack for President... a candidate for change??

I can't help but feel totally cynical when I say that I honestly cannot get behind any single candidates running for president... I thought Barack would be good--he's running on an image of change for America. yes, this is well needed, but umm... what type of change is he talking about, exactly? is he actually balls-y enough to change things where this country most needs changing?

what about fixing the situation in the middle east: he says if elected he would INCREASE the defense budget. doesn't seem like much of a change to me.

what about solving global warming: he is (or at least was) promoting LIQUID COAL... a new technology that takes the dirtiest form of energy we have and transforms it into a liquid so we can run our cars on it... great! blow up MORE mountains so our cars can pollute even more asthma-inducing and global warming causing pollution into the air. doesn't sound like the right kind of change..

i'll admit, Barack's got some great speech writers, and we were all very impressed with his family history back in 04.. but really, what exactly would he change??

What do you all think of the candidate pool??
