The Weeds Of Change

clipped from hotair.com However, Obama’s direction of the state funds to one of his campaign workers gives him additional responsibility to make sure that the funds got used properly and that the work got performed, neither of which appears to be the case at Englewood.   Besides a plywood gazebo, the only evidence of a botanical garden is a large variety of wild weeds indigenous to Chicago. Once again, one of the problems of constantly moving on to the next promotion is that you never get to see the consequences and ramifications of past actions. For a man with such a thin track record, the number of failures is rather shocking — but that’s not the most significant part of this story.  It’s quite obvious that Obama has a pattern of talking about hope and change, and caring less about it when it doesn’t boost him politically.  As soon as Englewood stopped being significant to his electoral hopes, he turned his back on the neighborhood.  That speaks to character more than competence.
