I think it's because he'd be the first black president..that's a change, right?

The color of his skin?

what's an 'agent of change'? He's a politician, just the same as all the others before him - he just happens to be very likeable.

His own ego.

Nothing. Trust me folks, a lot of the policy's in place are not going to change for the whim of any president. Politicians are nothing more than puppets that distract the people from the real "goings-on". Need I remind you that all of our candidates campaigns are funded by private investors and corporations, such as those associated with the military industrial complex. These elitists have the money, and the power, and the people, in place to buy the most powerful leader in the world, our president. They own the news and media corporations (hell, they are the media), everything you see on the tube is well planned out by propaganda specialists and psychologists, to decieve you into voting for a candidate that would support elitist ideals. You can go ahead and vote, I am not telling you not to,... Just don't expect much change. It takes more than a campaign slogan to change the world.

The bumper sticker says that, so it must be true.

1. Intelligence in the white house. That will be a huge change! Imagine someone who actually selects the best people for the job instead of putting his buddies with no experience in positions they shouldn't be in ("Brownie" at FEMA for a very good example.) 2. Obama's progressive attitude and incredible speaking presence will greatly improve America's reputation around the world which will allow us to have more friends and less enemies. It will make this country safer and more prosperous. 3. Obama does not believe in corporate welfare and tax breaks for the rich. This "rich get richer" mentality of the Bush admin has destroyed this country's economy. ... This is just a beginning of the huge amount of positive changes that we can have as a country if we select Barack Obama as our next president instead of voting for four more years of the SAME stupid policies (John McCain)

Don't worry Vimax Review, I am with you. In case you really want to know Clueless Ned how he is an agent of change, check out his plans on www.barackobama.com; he has pretty good plans that need read before judged. And for those idiots who simply seem paranoid above about lobbyists, his money was raised by donations with no outside lobbyist support or tax money used. Politicians, in general, are scheming and follow interests of groups. Obama has shown his desire for the interest of the public, though it may not be the entire public as not everyone can agree or realize that his plans are sound (ex. universal healthcare, see them all shudder at the words). However, if you read his plans, they make sense (not universal healthcare as seen in other countries, basically same basic healthcare system with tech updates to the 21st century and cheaper premiums all around). Basically, stop being ignorant people and really look at the person, issues, and ideas. Voting democrat or republican out of habit can actually be a moronic decision. Really look at both candidates, if you want change, you'll see who our man is. (*hint* not McCain) [also check out school reform, technology reform, and other issues]

Total Economic destruction is change: "Barack Obama believes "that global warming is not just the greatest environmental challenge facing our planet—it is one of our greatest challenges of any kind." During his first 100 days in office, he would enact a giant and far-reaching tax "an economy-wide cap on U.S. carbon emissions that will reduce U.S. emissions by the amount scientists agree is necessary (80%) or $45 Trillion dollars".-Timesonline.uk, June 6, 2008 .....and people are making a big fuss about a measly $700 billion.
