Obama's change in government not what we hope for

It's common knowledge that President Obama is a product of Chicago's corrupt Democratic machine. While honing his political skills, he and his wife hobnobbed with some of Chicago's finest, known terrorists, crooks, slum lords, influence peddlers, members of an election-rigging organization named ACORN and a hate-spewing racist person who once served as Obama's mentor.

He and his wife moved their Chicago style thuggery to Washington where they continue to surround themselves with characters of ill repute. Consider all the individuals who failed to make it through the nominating process or continue to resign because of ethical, moral or memory lapses.

Look at his present cabinet, innumerable and unaccountable czars and other lower-ranking appointees. Many suffer under allegations of tax evasion, pay-to-play, corruption, fraud, illegal fundraising, incompetence, nepotism, cronyism, influence peddling, self-dealing as former lobbyists and the list goes on.

So much for hope, change and transparency in government.
