There lies the problem with Change, you see... it keeps changing!You don't believe me? Well, ask President Obama, he just found that out this week.
Two years ago he won the US election because he was the one about Change and, fair enough, he was really the Change and he got the job. But now, he ain't the Change anymore, he is the Establishment and so he has lost the mid-term election, because people want Change, they always do, it keeps them busy. I, for example, would love to change my hairstyle if I had any hair left but because I don't have any, I am probably going to wear a wig.
The crucial problem with Obama is that he should have explained the meaning of Change in a more formulated manner, not as Change and that's it, but as Change to Elect Me and Then Let It at That! But then it was going to be a rather long-winded slogan and he so he kept it short: Change!
It worked magnificently, nobody at the time dared to say that they were not convinced by Obamania, but then is then and now is now, and in two years time another US Presidential election will come around and we are not completely sure that Obama is going to keep his job... It will all depend on whether the Americans want to change again or if the Change has been Change enough, but mainly it depends on how the Republican nominee is going to look like and how changeable he or she will look like and which silly slogan he or she will come up with.
Will see. Who cares. My wig is going to be a curly one, I think.
