		<description>I&#039;ll give the guy a year or so, since he&#039;s inherited such a mess, with the exception of foreign policy.  And with Rahm Emannual, why do i have the feeling we&#039;re going to be in the middle east wasting money and lives for a long time to come.  I just hope all you Obama voters judge him with the same eye you judged Bush.  

We need a moderate libertarian as president.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think any geek would pick a friend of Jack Valenti for VP, or a VP that writes:

&quot;It is the sense of Congress that providers of electronic communications services and manufacturers of electronic communications service equipment shall ensure that communications systems permit the government to obtain the plain text contents of voice, data, and other communications when appropriately authorized by law.&quot;

into bill titled &quot;Comprehensive Counter-Terrorism Act&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I just listened to “Wait, wait, don’t tell me” from about 2 months ago in which Leonard Nemoy said Obama gave him the Vulcan greeting sign at a rally earlier this year.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I&#039;d give a pretty penny to see a pic or video of that moment.</description>
