It was rather disturbing to see at the Democratic Convention that Edward Kennedy came forth to promote Obama for President, saying that he would change things in Washington DC. A Democratic Senator who has been a part of the corrupt system as it exists today and there are reasons to believe that Kennedy doesn't want a change and will do nothing to promote it.
Also Obama selects another Washington insider who also has been thriving on the conditions that exist and we are certain that he isn't for any change. It will be interesting to know who Obama selects for his cabinet if he is elected, certainly he will dip into the Clinton administration for his cabinet members as there aren't that many members from the Black Community that are qualified.
Barack Obama is a symbol as he stated when he was in Europe and do the voters want to elect a symbol with no experience and no real programs, just promises that he will do this and that to improve this country. 146 days in the US Senate, where he submitted no laws to change the situation, and his unknown stand on many issues should concern the voters.
