We’ve all heard and/or read the saying dozens of times, or at least something similar. The trip of a thousand miles starts with the first step. I must admit, it is a pretty wise saying and I have thought about it many times. Let’s hope I need not explain it.

However, that old fella that originally said that should have added 4 words, “in the right direction.” If we go east when we should have gone west, we only increased the distance by yet another step.

It should be obvious but I’m afraid it’s not. Obama preached hope and change. To be sure, he did change things, but in the wrong direction. Change for change sake is wrong. If you are going to change something, make sure the change is in the right direction. In the previous example, the fella going east, just to be going somewhere, made a mistake.

Since Obama, the whole bunch of dems are continuing in the same direction, which, to be sure is the wrong direction.

For sure, the next time we hear someone preaching hope and change, it would be a very good idea if we just ignore him. He has destroyed the hope of thousands of Americans and destroyed the lives of millions of non-Americans.

Let’s put it this way, under his leadership, we took a giant step in the wrong direction.
