Just a few nights ago this country went through some sweeping changes in leadership. The people took to the polls to elect the 112th Congress of the United States. Most people voted to change the leadership back to a right-leaning coalition. The President of the United States will remain the same until 2012, as will the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, but the Speaker of the House is likely to become John Boehner, a republican from Ohio.
All of this "change" at this point in time can't help but make me think of one of my favorite films, V for Vendetta. In the movie the main character, V, says something in a video that is broadcast to future London. He says "There is something terribly wrong with this country." That sounds, to me anyway, a lot like the message that Republicans were giving to the country about the leadership in the Obama-Pelosi-Reid coalition.
I just felt this was a comparison worth mentioning.
