For his personal convenience; that is, if he needed to govern with a democratic house in the unlikely case he got elected, John McCain would be badly in need of changing “the way Washington operates”. In other words, his definition of change is to have a congress amenable enough to let him do as he wants, Bush-style.
In stark contrast with his opponent, Barack Obama advocates a totally different kind of change. One will affect us all and will respond to the country’s dire situation and involve positive transformations addressing head-on our current economic challenges, our healthcare crisis, our need for alternative energies and our bulging federal and trade deficits as well as an unaffordable debt that has kept on rising under a Republican Administration.
These two ideas of changes are fundamentally different in nature and should not be confused. If John McCain can pull the wool over his electors with his "token" notion of change and pretend he’s not like George Bush, it won’t be that easy for the republican congressmen and senators up for re-election to return to Capitol Hill following eight years of irresponsible governance. So the question we must now ask is which of these two visions of transformation we really need?
