Change we can believe in

WASHINGTON (AP) -- They haven't dyed the Potomac River green, but the Obamas are bringing a splash of their hometown St. Patrick's Day celebrations to the White House.
The fountains on the north and south lawns have been dyed green to mark the national holiday of Ireland. Spokeswoman Katie McCormick Lelyveld says first lady Michelle Obama came up with the idea to bring "a little piece of home" for their new home.
Chicago marks St. Patrick's Day by dyeing its river green. Lelyveld says it's the first time the fountains have gone green. And they'll remain that way until the dye runs out.
President Barack Obama is marking the holiday by meeting with Irish leaders and attending St. Patrick's Day events in the White House and on Capitol Hill.

I'm inspired. And so glad Obama is bringing the kind of change to this country that we have all been waiting for. Food coloring is definitely better than politics, in my opinion. What else can you count on to stain your clothes? Well, I guess there are a lot of other things that could do that, but I'd rather not get into it. Suffice to say, green fountains = great use of taxpayer dollars in a time of recession.
