Change??

In case any of you saw that fiasco that they dubbed a "summit" ... here is the break down of who got to participate ... more than a little Union Heavy ...

If I were the Hispanic/Latino or Native American people I'd be scratching my head about it all though --- for the minority groups, each is only represented by one single entity, the Asians have two, and African-Americans have four (including the NUL-NY) ... I think they are being more than a little under-represented considering how pivotal they were to getting him into office in the first place.

Good thing people voted for 'Change'
