Being an American is not a matter of blood or birth,  it&#8217;s a matter of faith.  It&#8217;s a matter of fidelity to the shared values that we all hold so dear.  That&#8217;s what makes us unique.  That&#8217;s what makes us strong.  Anybody can help us write the next [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good morning, folks.   As I listened to Obama's speech (full text here) last night about the oil spill,  I became more worried than I have ever been before.  Instead of reassuring the people of the Gulf Coast, where I call home, that the capping of the Deepwater Horizon well and cleaning up the oil spill were top priority, Obama decided to push for green energy legislation.  He decided to play politics as usual and give a public relations/political speech instead of a leadership speech.]]></description>
