When all you Obama supporters want "change", what do you exactly mean?

"Change" is a saying more than an action

Change you don't want

I would say one of the most significant changes I want is a change in the way we deal with foreign policy. The Bush Doctrine says we have the right to attack nations that we think pose a threat to us. This is a terrible strategy, because it makes going to war that much easier. Also, as evident from the Iraq war, a lot of times we get the facts wrong. We assumed that Iraq had WMDs and therefore posed a threat. Turns out this was wrong.

What Obama has said is that he will favor diplomacy over militaristic intimidation. In the long run, this strategy will go further in protecting our country then a strong military because there will be less of a reason for other nations to attack us.

The first change I want is a Democrat back in the White House so that some of what the Monopoly Man has done can be undone or fixed. The last time we had a balanced budget was when Bill Clinton was in. The other changes I want are, an end to the war in Iraq, better and more affordable health care, a growing economy, jobs being created and not outsourced without penalty, I want our place in the world re-established and respected and I want an end to nuclear proliferation world wide. I want a person in there who understands the worth of the middle class and works toward solidifying that status. I also want the very best intelligence out there seeking out every pothole the Taliban or al-Quaeda is hiding in and root them out. Did I mention Diplomacy? Barack Obama will see to that the Bush Doctrine can never be used again and that diplomacy is the first choice....always.

I wish he had the balls to raise taxes, especially on the upper brackets, if he's going to keep spending like this.

Well, i'm hoping they want change when they go to a drive-thru. i always want my change.

otherwise, it's kind of lame. idk, when you become a college student, you either conform and become a hippie who wants to change the American system, or you become a rebel and you become a libertarian who wants to change the American System, but only because you want the freedom that the Founding Fathers fought for. I'm not a libertarian, but it seems that that sort of change is actually American while Obama's socialist change seems more... Russian.

Although I think the economy is going to keep Obama from having his way with Health Care, it wont keep him from taxing us (even the under $100K croud is going to get taxed). And that's a change I could live without.
