Barack Obama and his promises of change makes me think about the scene in The Princess Bride, where the Man in Black is climbing the cliff wall as Inigo Montoya (yes..."Hello...my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.") waits at the top for him. Inigo hates waiting so he offers to throw down a rope and pull the Man in Black to the top. However, the Man in Black refuses, knowing that Inigo is waiting to kill him. Here's part of the exchange:
Inigo: "I could give you my word as a Spaniard."
Man in Black: "No good...I've known too many Spaniards."
Mr. Obama would like us to believe he's going to change everything about our country and turn it into some sort of utopia. When we ask why we should believe him, his message hasn't been much different than Inigo's: "I give you my word as a Democrat."
Well, Mr. Obama, I've known too many Democrats.
Thanks for reading along.
