		<description>dear americans!

your country is in deep shit!
and you need to restore the economy by decreasing your military budget look at the following data:
1. entire world military budget is 1100 mlrd USD, the leader is USA with 650 mlrd USD, PRC takes the 2nd place with 60 mlrd USD, 10 mlrd less from PRC is Russia, the rest is for other 135 countries;
2. since 2004 US foreign trade debt has been increased by 72%!!! from 5.5 to 9.5 trln USD that is a lot!!!
America is to stop tricks with wars and agression, it's time to concentrate on your own internal problems, o/w in the nearest future USA will become a history...

hope Obama will stop America from falling into the hellhole...

warm wishes and have a good luck</description>

		<description>After Dick Cheney's little adventure/misadventure in Caucasus, when Russia decides to follow Iran's example and no longer accept USD for it's oil and natural gas but ony to accept Euro's and Japanese Yen.  This will have a very serious effect on the long term value of the dollar and probably presage a massive collapse into a black hole (well this is a physics blog).

Putin's accusation of Cheney using the Georian adventure to stir up things to get McCain elected, suggests that this policy change could happen on McCain's watch if he gets elected.  The fact that Putin said this means he hopes for an Obama presidency.  I guess he thinks it will be possible to work with him.  So the collapse of the petrodollar is not inevitable over the short term if you guys over there elect Obama.

Not that I personally have all that much hope in an Obama presidency.  The president, no matter who he is, has to serve the interest's of the owner's of the American Empire.  The big banking interests in New York, the military industrial complex primarily in California and Washington State and of course Texas and the oil companies.

He may shift the emphasis by balancing the interest of the different sectors that comprise the corporate control of the American Empire from the Neocon approach of direct military aggression to control the natural resources of the world and to prevent the development of any alternative centres of economic and political power to the neoliberal one where the control for the same objectives is carried out primarily by the big US-UK international banks and international institutions like the IMF and WTO.  The military strength of the US being held as a threat in reserve.

So Obama at best is merely the lesser of two evils.  Any way guys enjoy your election and remember he who controls the voting machines controls the ...</description>

		<description>Now that Senator Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee, let us
examine his record.

Obama supports a total handgun ban, even going so far as to vote
against a bill allowing homeowners to assert self-defense if they used
banned handguns to defend themselves from an attack by an intruder.

Obama defended infanticide, voting down a bill that would require
medical care for babies born as a result of a botched abortion, even
though the bill contained Roe neutral language.

Obama said that ICE immigration raids terrorize communities, even as
illegal aliens kill people like Tony Bologna.</description>

		<description>Obama answers the science debate 2008 14 questions!
http://www.sciencedebate2008.com/www/index.php?id=40

"Ensuring that the U.S. continues to lead the world in science and technology will be a central priority for my administration."

"we are clearly under-investing in research across the spectrum of scientific and engineering disciplines"

"My administration will increase funding for basic research in physical and life sciences, mathematics, and engineering at a rate that would double basic research budgets over the next decade."

oh no... i'm tearing up again... *sniff*</description>

		<description>I will be the first to admit that the speeches of Obama have hit me in the heart, and even brought tears to my eyes on a few occasions...
(ok, i cry at the little tramps speech at the end of the "Great Dictator" too)

Yes it's high flying, yes it's grand, yes it is "Soaring rhetoric" ...

But when true leaders lead, they lead big... they say, "Let's put a man on the moon." "Give me liberty or give me death."

Obama has made his mission clear, and very big...
He will act in accordance to those claims or reap the whirlwind...

I prefer this to those that only offer whirlwinds to begin with...

Wake up America!!!
(ok, that was Kucinich's speech... it was sort of the condensed version of Obama's)
