		<description>&lt;p&gt;i really don’t know but if they focus on our economic crisis like the housing market crisis is a major issue in the upcoming US Presidential Election and has a significant impact for all Americans where Obama and McCain talk about in &lt;a href=&quot;http://pollclash.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://pollclash.com&lt;/a&gt; .just like soaring oil prices are affecting the costs of everything from food to gas and even houses rental. There are also significant issues on local and global environmental impact. While there are many issues, we need to look at our next leader and determine which will have the best course of action going forward. Both candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama are attempting to address the issue and differentiate their positions from one another. And I think that everyone is missing the point of this. We need a new resource. We need a solution to this problem not another way around it…&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Apparently, on the eve of Obama’s foreign trip &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080721/ap_on_el_pr/embassies_candidates_1;_ylt=ArMreOt1ci2i3UDO9qMpy3zCw5R4&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Condi Tells Embassies to Minimize Help To Candidates on Foreign Travel&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What convenient timing! In defense of this a State Department spokesman said they issued a similar directive to SPECIFIC embassies on John McCain’s itinerary on the trip he took four months ago. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Balanced…right?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hmm! Except that such directives would never have reached those countries like Colombia where McCain and Lieberman made a appearance at the hieght of the “coincidental” rescue operation of Betancourt and several US hostages from FARC. That was just a few weeks ago. It’s not like the Joe and John “dog and pony” show avoided commentary about Obama’s positions on the Colombia-US free trade agreement!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;i gotta go.  spouse is emptying the whole kitchen, literally.  it’s time to sand and paint - all around, over, beside, under, twixt, but hopefully not actually ON all the appliances &amp; counter &amp; lights.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Should be the strangest painting project i’ve ever done since, oh about, 1968 or so.  no.  not green jello.  realtor’s off-white.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;bye bye gang.  stay safe.  i promise i won’t come upstairs to bother.  just forget i’m here, unless you see a spreading puddle of paint oozing under the door…&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The problem with McCain traveling with Mom is that she looks younger and more vigorous than he does.  Sorry, but the guy is stiffer than a cadaver.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I am with you.  I remember watching all the chad counting, the changing rules for a recount.  No one can ever forget Saturday Night Live with the well and ridiculously groomed Ms Harris.  And the absolute depression with the Supremes stopped the count; “school was out,” as they say.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To give us the most outlandish 8 years in recent history, run by a sociopathic buffoon who was known to be that from the get-go.  Even Jeb said, we just never thought it would be George.  Guess what?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;He’s done a lot of traveling with Lieberman. Lieberman is one homely looking old dude. McCain having Lieberman looking over his shoulder all the time just makes McCain seem even older, in my opinion.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
