		<description><![CDATA[Ewilliam..there is little real about Obama..Julia is a fabrication, his &quot;composite&quot; girlfriend in his book is an illusion to justify his ideology.
His very limited time in the private sector was referred to as behind enemy lines. Clearly his view on gay marriage is built on sand. It was OK to have it said about him that he was born in Kenya in a 1991 marketing piece- but that &quot;misunderstanding&quot;, which was out there for 16 years was finally corrected 2 months before his announcement of candidacy for president. And because it&#039;s necessary to be a US citizen to occupy the presidential office, his birth place &quot;should be&quot; Hawaii NOW.

So just who is our president E WIlliam? What environments and happenings formed him and just what are his true beliefs.Why the lack of scrutiny and meaningful analysis? Could it be the blank canvas is preferable to what we might find?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actually, Bud, I know about &quot;Julia&quot; and your post still doesn&#039;t make sense; that&#039;s not intended to be mean or ugly, it&#039;s just an observation on the style of your expression.

Sandi, I agree. I think there are people out there who are just so angry (for their own personal reasons) that Obama was elected that they will accept just about anything negative about him, no matter how ridiculous or illogical it might sound. I admit I struggled with this same phenomenon when Reagan and the Bushes were in the White House, but I still managed to  think critically about the various negatives raised against them. However, it seems we have become so polarized in this nation, I have begun to wonder if that will be our downfall. Not some economic or military calamity, but our inability to work for the greater good of the country. The Repubs send so much time and effort looking for ways to discredit Obama and criticizing The Left the Dems spend so much time slamming repubs and The Right, that no one can find any common ground. Where do we go from here? I worry for my children and the America they will inherit.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obama was born in Hawaii...it should be that way because he is president.

In 1991 it was said he was born in Kenya to get money for a book deal or a job. OK, so let&#039;s see the college transcripts/records to see where Obama was &quot;born&quot; to attend Occidental, Columbia and Harvard. What did HE say back then?

It&#039;s all a blank canvas..you may paint his picture any way you want and be right. His is the world of &quot;composite girlfriends&quot;...part of his presidential campaign is a made up woman named Julia. His is a world where you can paint some huge financial calamity on the horizon and then claim you saved the nation from it by saving and creating jobs with an $800 B boondoggle.

I was for gay marriage in the 90s, against it in the 00s and now for it in the 10s. Not a problem with this press and his &quot;followers&quot;.]]></description>
