		<description><![CDATA[Umm…What???  That’s exactly what Obama said in his speech today on immigration reform. Being an American is not a matter of blood or birth,  it’s a matter of faith.  It’s a matter of fidelity to the shared values that we all hold so dear.  That’s what makes us unique.  That’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>

		<description><![CDATA[Here’s a quote that I stumbled across last night. Hope is nature’s veil for hiding truth’s nakedness. – Alfred Bernhard Nobel So if Obama is offering “hope”, what truth is he hiding?  But he also campaigned on “change”. Truth is eternal, knowledge is changeable.  It is disastrous to confuse them. – Madeleine L’Engle, An Acceptable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since when does the President of the United States have an obligation to anyone other than the People of the United States??  I may be mistaken, but doesn't the oath of office say, "to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States"?  Nowhere in that oath does it lay an obligation to anyone else.  The "Muslim world" did not elect him; the American people elected him (well, 52% of us, anyway).]]></description>
