But aside from that, and the reason the joke works, is the "change" is not a slogan for Obama. It IS his platform. And yes, it was Clinton's and Reagan's, too.
Ho-freaking-Hum. Cherny is right. Change, Schmange. That's why the joke works. It's pablum.
No-one is saying we don't want a change. What does that have to do with actually delivering change?
It's a standard political strategy, and it's hollow as an easter bunny. If the voters want "change," the change-candidate wins. If the voters like it as it is, the status-quo candidate wins. OMG, freaking boring.
Just as Obama's been until this week. He should get into trouble more often. Brings out the best, apparently.
