		<description><![CDATA[
That sound you hear is the sound of glass breaking and of liberal’s heads exploding. Yeah, I know—every pundit and Obama supporter in the MSM is perpetually waxing ecstatic about how “articulate” he is. And, many of his supporters will point to the following speech/video as evidence of his being quite the wordsmith.

My, that sure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Saturday, New York Times columnist Charles Blow wrote quite an incendiary op-ed about people who oppose Barack Obama’s health care proposals and about Republicans in general.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s one of the stupider comments coming from the media to congratulate Americans for now owning car companies. We don&#8217;t and won&#8217;t. The government owns them which is, and has been for awhile now, a totally separate entity from the people it&#8217;s supposed to be serving.

There is no point in being outraged, really there isn&#8217;t.
&#8220;Rush Limbaugh, &#8216;I hope the country fails&#8217; &#8212; I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? &#8230; He needs a good waterboarding, that&#8217;s what he needs.&#8221;
Obama joined the crowd in laughing at the crack about Limbaugh&#8217;s &#8220;kidneys.&#8221;

American Thinker says it&#8217;s because Obama Hates White People.
So, far, we have 42 dead and likely many more since they haven&#8217;t been able to reach some of the people since the storm.
