Just like Obama!


Speaking of which...

--snip--
Years ago, there was an old tale in the Marine Corps about a
lieutenant who inspected his Marines and told the 'Gunny' that they
smelled bad.

The lieutenant suggested that they change their underwear. The Gunny
responded, 'Aye, aye, sir, I'll see to it immediately'.

He went into the tent and said, 'The lieutenant thinks you guys smell
bad, and wants you to change your underwear. Smith, you change with
Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowskie, Brown, you change with
Schultz. Get to it'.

The moral:

A candidate may promise change in Washington but don't count on
things smelling any better.



Nice story. But you have a better chance of a change with someone that has
promised to make changes than with someone who's agenda is to stay the
course.
