		<description>I am not bitter about the numbers at all.... he came up from 25 points behind... with only a net gain of 10-12 delegates for Hillary.  She is not going to catch up. Get ready BHO will be YOUR next President... 

Senator Obama was reportedly named after his father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.
The Senator&#039;s first name, Barack, is a Swahili name that has its origins in the Arabic language. The original Arabic root of the name (B-R-K) means &quot;blessed.&quot; In Arabic, the root word is used in many other phrases to denote blessings and to describe people who are blessed:

Mabruk! = &quot;Congratulations!&quot;
Barakallah feek = &quot;May God bless you&quot;
Barakah = blessings from God (feminine version of the name)
Senator Obama&#039;s middle name is Hussein, which was his grandfather&#039;s first name. The name, of Arabic origin, means &quot;good&quot; or &quot;handsome one.&quot; It is common in Muslim cultures for children (both boys and girls) to have a middle name which directly connects them to their father or grandfather.
Senator Obama&#039;s surname is not uncommon among the Luo tribe, one of the three largest ethnic groups in Kenya.</description>

		<description>We may be the last hangers-on for the &quot;double standard&quot; thread, Mach... but the bar&#039;s always open for you.  And on the reaming saloon denizens from me.

Doubles it is...    Patience, dealing with the overwhelmingly under&#039;informed, *alway* requires adult beverages to recharge the batteries.  But when the under&#039;informed refuse to read anything more than headlines, it may also require a keg chaser!</description>

		<description>Ooops, I spoke too soon it would seem.
MataHarley, if we&#039;re still ordering drinks; better make my Vodka Gimlet a double.
Sky...
Ad hominem attacks do not advance your argument. However, given BHO&#039;s 10 point drubbing in Pennsylvania, I can understand how you might be &quot;bitter&quot; about it.
However, you err in assessing my post; my point was that my family and I would show better judgment than BHO has; and he&#039;s the one who thinks he should be President.
I &quot;hope&quot; that makes things clear to you. But, since it appears nothing is going to &quot;change&quot; your fervor for BHO, I&#039;m not going to waste time with the religious argument.</description>

I am accusing him of rushing over to Iraq when he did not have to.. and without thinking through what the consequences in the region would be. Mainly Iran... Bush will go down as the worst foreign policy president in decades...</description>

		<description>Based on your 5AM post today (4/23), Skye55110, it&#039;s obvious you have not bothered to read the UNMOVIC report I provided the link for above.

I suggest you read that.  Rapidly followed by the Iraq Perspective Study/Pentagon IV report (the &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.abcnews.com/rapidreport/2008/03/report-shows-no.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;READ THE FULL REPORT HERE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; link found at the top of this ABC news story)... 

...and when you&#039;re done - and ONLY when you&#039;re done -  THEN get back to us about those &quot;lies&quot; you parrot from DNC talking points.  Until you have that data under your belt, your comments are really nothing more than emotional venting.  Understandable with your son in the line of fire.  But I&#039;m sure he&#039;d better appreciate an informed Mom.

And right on, Wordsmith... INRE Bin Laden&#039;s escape.  They called for a truce during Tora Bora, where Bin Ladin used the quiet to steal into the night, back into Pakistan to a convenient hole in the wall located in the tribal militants back yard.

If anyone dropped the ball, it was those who not only think we should negotiate with militants, but actually buy into their truces... which are nothing more than a &quot;regroup&quot; moment for further warfare.

Can anyway say &quot;what&#039;s up in Palestine, Jimmah??&quot;</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>Based on your 5AM post today (4/23), Skye55110, it&#8217;s obvious you have not bothered to read the UNMOVIC report I provided the link for above.</p>
<p>I suggest you read that.  Rapidly followed by the Iraq Perspective Study/Pentagon IV report (the <a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/rapidreport/2008/03/report-shows-no.html" rel="nofollow"><b>READ THE FULL REPORT HERE</b></a> link found at the top of this ABC news story)&#8230; </p>
<p>&#8230;and when you&#8217;re done &#8211; and ONLY when you&#8217;re done &#8211;  THEN get back to us about those &#8220;lies&#8221; you parrot from DNC talking points.  Until you have that data under your belt, your comments are really nothing more than emotional venting.  Understandable with your son in the line of fire.  But I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;d better appreciate an informed Mom.</p>
<p>And right on, Wordsmith&#8230; INRE Bin Laden&#8217;s escape.  They called for a truce during Tora Bora, where Bin Ladin used the quiet to steal into the night, back into Pakistan to a convenient hole in the wall located in the tribal militants back yard.</p>
<p>If anyone dropped the ball, it was those who not only think we should negotiate with militants, but actually buy into their truces&#8230; which are nothing more than a &#8220;regroup&#8221; moment for further warfare.</p>
<p>Can anyway say &#8220;what&#8217;s up in Palestine, Jimmah??&#8221;</p>

		<description>It&#039;s just this simple:

&quot;The truth is that a close relationship with a white supremacist pastor and a friendly relationship with an abortion clinic bomber would, by themselves, torpedo a conservative candidate running for president. There is an enormous double standard at play here, one rooted in the fawning regard many journalists have for Barack Obama. They have a deep, even emotional, investment in his candidacy.&quot;

My gawd, look at how the press has tried to create and exaggerate relationships re Sen McCain and his quasi alleged lobbyist affair.  Somehow or another that deserves being looked into, and Sen Obama&#039;s relationships to a racist anti-Americans/Al Queda sympathizing &quot;reverend&quot; and to known terrorists doesn&#039;t warrant a question?  Gosh, I&#039;m sorry...I bet that sounded...

...&quot;bitter&quot;

at least I&#039;m not out of bounds in the assertion:
