Post on Change

I recently read this article about change on the web.  I decided to pertain the change theme to an Obama related event.  When Obama won the presidential race for the United States of America, he left a vacant senate seat open in Illinois.  Governor Rod Blagojevich had the opportunity to appoint a person to fill Obama's place in the Senate.  Then shady business began happening.  As everyone knows, Blagojevich tried to take offers for the senate seat which Obama left empty.  Then he appointed Roland Burris, a fellow liberal, to the seat.  Burris was then found to have been planning on raising money and lying under oath.  Fellow democrats want him to resign because it is polluting their image.  I want to relate this to Nectar in a Sieve when all of the people with the tannery come in.  It seems good at first because wages rise for workers, but then prices also go up with pollution.  People think Obama is able to fix everything.  Even if he would have had a perfect transition, he could never have fixed everything.  The moral of the story is that change is not always good.  Brown, Mark.  "Transcript has Burris dancing around the truth."  17 February 2009.  21 February 2009.  < http://www.suntimes.com/news/brown/1434129,CST-NWS-brown17.article >.
