Organizing for America wants to know if I have weekend plans:

Hi, my name is Sarah, and I’m a volunteer with Organizing for America. In less than a week, I’ll be hosting a Vote 2010 Kick-Off event, and I’d like to tell you why. In 2007 and 2008, my husband and I, along with our son, traveled from our home in Missouri to four other states to knock on doors for Barack Obama. Through my career as a social worker and my husband’s as a physician, we’ve seen first-hand how desperately change is needed in America. Our work didn’t stop after Election Day — we were two of the millions of OFA supporters who fought for the historic health insurance reform that President Obama signed into law. And now, it’s time to get voters energized again. We’re hosting our canvass this weekend in our hometown because this is the most effective way to reach voters who understand, from their daily experiences, the need for change.

Hey, I see the need for change too, ma’am, but I think it’s a different change than the one you have in mind.

Obama has been president for roughly a year and half; Democrats have controlled Congress since January 2007. Isn’t it getting a little late for them to be running as the candidates of change? Change what? They’ve been in charge.

As luck would have it, tomorrow is the 500th day of Obama’s presidency.

(Organizing for America is the old Obama for America campaign apparatus, now in custody of the DNC.)
