		<description>Scholar in Training, have blinders on.  You bash one party and praise the other.   Please open your eyes and realize the politicians are only in politics for themselves.  Both parties continue to screw over the American public while keeping you distracted with the election soap opera.  Democrats get blame the Republicans, Republicans get to blame the Democrats, and nothing ever changes.  We had 8 years of Clinton, then 8 years of Bush and now we&#039;re back to a Democrat and it&#039;s all going to be &quot;new&quot; this time?  Let start ignoring what party a politician is in and start evaluating them at an individual level.  I&#039;m convinced we&#039;ll find all of them lacking.</description>

		<description>Umm... sad, Obama is NOT a muslim. He is not swearing into office on a Quran... This rumor was cleared up months ago.  And his preacher is not an american hater.  Just because someone&#039;s political and religous views don&#039;t line up with your own doesn&#039;t mean that they are any less patriotic, and love their coutnry any less.  

This is directed to everyone, not just sad.  Get your heads out from under that rock.  Dissent is Patriotism.  This country would run so much smoother if people would just realize that there are two completely opposite accounts to every story.  And generally neither of them are right, but rather, the answer is somewhere in between. It is every single person&#039;s resposibility to read more than just one news source, listen to more than one opinion... Don&#039;t be a part of the herd!!  If you don&#039;t believe me, or even if you do, I&#039;m reccomending the site www.realclearpolitics.com to you all.  You&#039;ll see what I mean.</description>

		<description>He&#039;s only being called &quot;Obamaessiah&quot; by idiots like Michelle Malkin who have been hatin&#039; on Obama for day one since he exposes how weak and ineffective the conservatives have been for so long.</description>

		<description>Before we decide to make a national holiday for a president we need to see what this man will do for our counrty. And since he is being referred to as &quot;Obamessiah&quot; does that mean this holiday will also include a decorated tree with gifts underneth? Everyone keeps saying we are making history to bad this may be the last chapter in &quot;The Book of America&quot;.</description>

		<description>Are we making a Holiday because he is half white or half &quot;African America&quot;. Give me a break! He is our first bi-racial president, PERIOD! Actually our first Muslim President!!!  Aren&#039;t we a proud nation. Let&#039;s just throw away a man that sacrificed his life for ouR  country, for man who&#039;s mentor is an American hater and a bigot! This is public knowledge.  We all need to not be so &quot;PC&quot; and we all have our own minds and not vote because Oprah votes for them!!  All this election had shown me is that most of America follows the herd!  I am very sad!</description>
