What will Obama "Change"? What particular "Hope" does he offer?

You're kidding about SA right?
Ummm... okay, then why the concern? But again, I agree regarding lobbyists, although it does appear that you are conflating two different things.
But I'm not sure why you think McCain isn't hypocritical, after all, he wrote a bill reforming lobbying tactics, then hired at least 11 actual registered lobbyists who are direct "advisors" to his campaign. At least five lobbyists have already left his campaign, and one of McCain's fundraisers has already been convicted of supporting a terrorist organization.
I'm sorry, but until the Democrats trot out a Zell Miller/Adolf Hitler lookalike and accuse the Republicans of despising America, being unpatriotic and working against the troops I'll leave the Democrats in the "wimpy" category.
B H Obama Versus S L H Palin
For sure Governor Palin, at 44, having successfully held elected executive positions for years, and having earned her reputation as a political maverick and achieved many things in her career so far, eg, battling corruption in that "old fashion" state, is better qualified than Obama for the job of the President.
I mean, what has he ever accomplished? Other than getting elected, I mean. What in the world is a "community organizer"? At 48 this man hasn't really "done" anything useful.
I'm all for equal opportunity for everyone, but do we really need the liberal media to saddle us with an unqualified, inexperienced, PC president, whose main good attribute is that he can really read the stuff that others put on his teleprompter?

For starters I have ZERO problem with lobbying. Why shouldn't a teachers union or a corporation have voice? Pabst has a problem and he knows 150 legislators aren't going to meet with his unvetted ass so he hires representation. Hopefully someone registered can get my message through. I view many reformers as anti-intellectual and anti-democracy.
If McCain wrote a bill (which he did/a bill I loathe) then he should follow the law. Are you suggesting McCain is violating campaign ethics? I don't know of any law suggesting the employment of lobbyists as advisors to a campaign to be unlawful nor do I know it to be unusual. I also saw no shortage of lobbyists involved with Obamas 2004 Senate campaign nor are lobbyist prohibited from presently contributing to his Senate fund.
Here's American reality. The people no longer fund government. A chosen few do. Some day they will get out legislated and over taxed one too many times via this anti-business, class warfare being waged by lozzzer libs and they'll take their toys to another box. It's not like the growing minority population with it's abundant drop out and crime rates sends a message to business, "you can't exist in the future without our skilled workforce and consumer market." This isn't 1975. America is a dozen years away from being one big Guadalajara meets Lagos. Unskilled workers. A declining consumer market because of declining productivity. A big, fat central government trying to hang on as speculators short Treasury securities with reckless abandon. Municipalities broke by the hundreds crushed by public education costs, under funded pension systems and a non-existent tax base. Shit Obama talks about rewarding tech jobs, sending kids to college ect and children of his declared race have a 55% drop out rate in his own home town. Anyone who doesn't laugh their ass off at the notion that upward mobility is just a Fed outlay away are dolts.
These American's moving to China are BRILLIANT. Anyone who doesn't think CSCO could just as easily be based in Asia as here has rocks in their heads. If the Dodgers could leave Brooklyn.....

He served on multiple boards, registered over 400,000 people to vote, was the director of a community organization which had dozens of employees, worked for a law firm, taught constitutional law, wrote books, and founded various organizations.

I agree, that's why I decided to not vote for McCain.
Well then you won't support McCain because, as I said, he wrote and advanced a lobbying reform bill.
Okay, fair enough. McCain is big on lobbyists. Last I heard he had something like 61 working as fundraisers and 11 directly working for his campaign. No hypocrisy there, vote for him.
Spare a thought in election frenzy times for the non - USA people.
We have no vote
Millions of us are going to suffer US foreign policy. Bush killed off a million plus. Of course it was their own fault ? Kennedy another million, Johnson ditto etc. etc.
How about you guys either elect someone with integrity for a change or let the rest of us vote too - maybe a B vote.
