Ravelry: Obama-rama by Laura Birek This sweater is cool, but in no way reflects my affection or affiliation with Obama, only my admiration for all things knitting.

I am not all gaga for Obama.  If you know me, then you know that I am for Dennis Kucinich all the way and I think it is a shame that more people don't get it.  But dont' get me wrong, I am happy it is Obama in Office and not McCain, but I am also of the like who think anyone would be better than Bush. I don't like Obama's cabinet member choices though and I wonder what happened to all this "change" talk, when so many of his choices are elite politicians with one hand up their domocrat sugar daddy's you-no-what and the other hand in the government till.  When I think change, I think new, big ideas, idealism, fresh start, not Rahm Emanuel. Then there is Lawrence Summers, who if some of you recall, was president at Harvard for a few years until he publicly commented that, "women lack the intrinsic aptitude for math and science."

You can't appoint a bunch of "politicians" and expect them to promote change.  Did Obama not get that memo? Or was he running under the guise of change but really just like all the rest and flying high on fancy retoric? Only time will tell.
