CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) - Not all the nation's ills can be blamed on President Bush, Democratic candidate Barack Obama said Wednesday as he called on Americans to change the nature of politics and institute more openness in government.
"Part of the problem here is not just George Bush and the White House," Obama told a crowd of hundreds gathered at a park in Cedar Falls. "We can't just change political parties and continue to do the same kind of things we've been doing. We can't just go about business as usual and think it's going to turn out differently."
Obama, a senator from Illinois, said average Americans must be brought back to the table when dealing with every issue, from health care to education to trade.
"We've got to make sure workers are represented, not just CEOs. We've got to make sure patients are represented and the nurses are represented, not just drug companies," he said.
To make the government more accountable, Obama said he would post all non-emergency bills online for five days before he signed them into law, allowing Americans a chance to weigh in on the legislation. In addition, he said he would post all meetings between lobbyists and government agencies online.
Obama said he would require Cabinet officials to speak to Americans via national broadband town-hall style meetings to discuss issues at their agencies. He also pledged to issue an executive order that information about the government's operations must be released to those seeking it unless it could harm a protected interest.
Obama cited his record of backing ethics and lobbying reforms, including co-authoring a bill that requires all government spending to be posted online - allowing anyone to do a simple Internet search and find that information. He said that during his time as a state lawmaker he helped to create hospital report cards so that patients could understand the quality of care offered at

Obama is a flip flopping no good piece of dirt. He has no experience, no talent besides public speaking, and loves to play the race card o help with his campaign. He is an idiot and an ingreat. He refuses to say the pledge, has talked down the government, and has no way of ever accomplishing what he says. He is a true liberal through and through. Nothing more than a parasite!

It's true, the power (well thought of power) has gone to his head and he is going to have a mental collapse when he finds out that come this next election he is going to lose by a landslide because of his arrogance. He is not change he is a broken record player playing the same BS the left has been playing since Jackson.

Guliani (or however you spell his name) would have been the best candidate over all.

While I do not believe Obama is doing a very good job, he was by far the best alternative to Senator McCain. He has signed into effect a law that is against abortion to some degree (I forget the terms). At least he's trying, right?
