The fascinating part of the entire Democratic Campaign for President is the universal slogan; "CHANGE." Never have I seen one word define a campaign yet be as ambiguous as this. As it stands, the Democratic candidates have decided to hide behind the slogan of change and not give us any specifics as to their plans.

   Hillary Clinton has talked about her so-called experience and touted her role in her husband's administration. However, the limits of her experience seem to be guiding tours of the White House for distinguished guests and trying to keep the leash on her husband long enough to keep him from being thrown out of office. Senator Clinton's ambition has led her to weave a web of deceit that falsifies her "experience." This deceit will be found out if her White House records were ever to be released by the Clinton Presidential Library. This is exactly why these records will be harder to get than the Rose Law Firm billing records. The fact of the matter is that if her White House experience was worth noting then the Clintons would have documented proof for everyone to see. Their lack of documentation speaks volumes about Hillary's experience. Remember, the goal of the campaign is to highlight the positive and suppress the negative.

   Never underestimate the power of a politician with blind ambition. Hillary's quest began in college with a pact she and Bill made and will not end until she sits behind the same desk in the Oval Office that her loving husband entertained Monica Lewinsky. The idea of "change" for Hillary involves her expansion of power. Going from one of one hundred Senators to the head honcho is the ultimate goal for Senator Clinton. Her blind ambition has brought her to promise the world to the voters. Unfortunately, Clinton slipped up and to the truth when she said, "I have a million ideas. The country can't afford them all."

   Barack Obama, the rock star candidate, has about as much depth as a puddle after a light rain. His popularity, good looks, and brilliant oratory skills have made him the media darling of the race. But even his closest advisors can't tell you his stance on many of the major issues that are plaguing this nation. Obama uses the term "change" as a cover for the lack of substance and experience that he knows he cannot overcome. Senator Obama's fame may win him a popularity contest but voters must be careful what they wish for. The many gaffs that Obama has made, such as wanting to bomb one of our allies, Pakistan, have shown his ineptitude and inexperience. Usually, a President should have at least a full term under his or her belt. Mr. Obama, please stick to writing books and making convention speeches, you will be able to stay afloat with these endeavors.

   Both Clinton and Obama need to define the change they wish to bring about. By deceiving the voters of this nation they are setting themselves up for failure. Further, these actions will create more distrust of the government in this country.

   It has been said many times that, "The truth will set you free." With this being the case I submit to you that both Obama and Clinton are captive to their own web of deceit. Facts, not rhetoric, solve problems. It is a pity that the voters seek the quick fix, follow the crowd, and elect candidates that lack in substance but are long on talk.

   Polished speeches and witty banter can only survive until the day the results of the election are announced. Do we really want either of these candidates answering the phone in the White House at 3 am?
