		<description>&quot;Whatever you want to call them, it’s clear they are so far from the norm of the American people that they can’t even see the horizon from where they are. Simply reading the speech transcript shows that simply and clearly.&quot;

I&#039;m curious. If this is actually true and these people are &quot;far from he norm&quot;... 
Then who elected Bush.... TWICE?</description>

		<description>Buried as inaccurate; Conservatives arent pissed that Obama is speaking to children, theyre pissed that some schools are handing out materials that ask questions like &quot;How did Obama inspire you?&quot; and &quot;What can you do to help the President?&quot;.</description>

		<description>Is there a &quot;hypocrisy gene&quot;?

Who knew.

How odd that  everyone for whom it is dominant is a Democrat.</description>

		<description>Selfish gene &gt; Following one&#039;s own interest
Hypocrisy &gt; Claiming to be follow other people&#039;s interest

A &#039;moral crime&#039; has been committed, let&#039;s follow the &#039;money&#039;, aka the interest.

1) More traffic on Discover &gt; Money
2) Political activism &gt; Money
3) More funds for science &gt; Money

All comes down to the paycheck. Your interest is simple, encourage people to spend money to support you and your family - selfish gene = survival instinct -, pretending to have the public&#039;s best interest in mind.

Please, cut off the crap and go back to your telescope.</description>

		<description>So some parents in some remote part of the US didn&#039;t want their kids to listen to the President&#039;s speech. BIG DEAL, do you know how unpopular the President&#039;s administration is these days? Geithner, Summers, Bernanke? Do these names ring a bell? More names, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, AIG?

Ok...

Dear author, your commentary is soooooo biased, and distant from scientific neutrality. It&#039;s filled with emotions, it sounds like the radical leftist answer to the radical traditionalist.

Don&#039;t talk about &quot;logic&quot; or &quot;ignorance&quot;, please, these words in political debates are very much like using the old fashioned &quot;Nazi&quot;, &quot;racist&quot;, you&#039;ve lost the debate already (if there was any, in the first place, what a pseudo scandal).

I have no idea who you are, and I can tell you one thing. There must be a reason for you to be writing on some gossip magazine like Discover, instead of advancing research in science.

Talk about &quot;propagandist&quot;, you can&#039;t be serious!</description>
