Wonder why Obama is in such high dudgeon over McCain/Palin’s use (misappropriation) of the term “change”? Well, it’s simple, really.

Compared to the “change” Obama has planned for America, McCain and Sarah are indeed just more of the same. John and Sarah want to see America continue as a strong free-market democracy albeit one with fewer earmarks, pork-barrel projects, and out-of-control government largess.

On the other hand, what Obama has planned (click here to read our earlier post on his National Service Corp, etc.) is, well, something more drastic.

Why not let Melanie Phillips tell you in her own words (she reveals why Obama really owns the word “change” in this election)?

Here’s an excerpt (read the rest at The Spectator)…

In her game-changing convention speech, Sarah Palin took a swipe at Obama for having been nothing more in his life than a ‘community organiser’.

This prompted the Obama campaign to issue a pained defence of community organisation as a way of promoting social change ‘from the bottom up’. The impression is that community organising is a worthy if woolly and ultimately ineffectual grassroots activity. This is to miss something of the greatest importance: that in the world of Barack Obama, community organisers are a key strategy in a different game altogether; and the name of that game is revolutionary Marxism.
