		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;Russia did not invade Georgia--sequence is wrong. Georgia killed over 1000 pro- Russian Georgians in Ossetia and then Russia moved in. By the way--one of McCain&#039;s top advisors is a lobbyist with the Georgians.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;thank you</description>

		<description>Just saw this:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama&#039;s speech seen by 38 million viewers&lt;br&gt;The Associated Press &lt;br&gt;2:49 PM EDT, August 29, 2008 &lt;br&gt;NEW YORK - Barack Obama&#039;s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention was seen by more than 38 million people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nielsen Media Research said more people watched Obama speak than watched the Olympics opening ceremony in Beijing, the final &quot; American Idol&quot; or the Academy Awards this year. Obama talked before a live audience of 80,000 people in Denver.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;His TV audience nearly doubled the amount of people who watched John Kerry accept the Democratic nomination to run against President Bush four years ago. Kerry&#039;s speech was seen by just over 20 million people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama&#039;s audience might be higher, since Nielsen didn&#039;t have an estimate for how many people watched Obama on PBS or C-SPAN Thursday night.</description>

		<description>Friend when they say elitist-- it is part of the Rethug strategy to attack Dem strengths.Obama was raised by a single mother--McCain came from a privileged background, went to elite schools, dumped one well to do wife when he bagged a millionaire. He has not met a lobbyist he didn&#039;t like and has spent 26 years shoveling money into his friends pockets.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But this pooh covered troll attacks Obama as elitist.</description>

Obama was very detailed--the top 5 percent are going to see big tax increases- take your fingers out of your ears. Russia did not invade Georgia--sequence is wrong. Georgia killed over 1000 pro- Russian Georgians in Ossetia and then Russia moved in. By the way--one of McCain&#039;s top advisors is a lobbyist with the Georgians. Omigod you must have the runs. What a smell!!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You are entitled to your opinions but not your facts.</description>

		<description>CNN Analysis of the Speech:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- This summer, the McCain campaign tried to make the presidential race about a handful of words, like &quot;celebrity&quot; and &quot;elite.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On Thursday, as he accepted the Democratic Party&#039;s presidential nomination, Barack Obama added a few new words to the mix, all drawn from his personal experience: food stamps, scholarships and loans. It&#039;s the language of the working class, and it&#039;s turf John McCain can¹t compete on.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I don&#039;t know what kind of lives John McCain thinks that celebrities lead, but this has been mine,&quot; Obama said.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The problem for the McCain campaign is simple: The more successful it has been in spreading the meme of Obama as an unqualified celebrity candidate, the easier it has become for the Illinois senator to exceed expectations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/29/analysis.day4/index.html&quot;&gt;http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/29/analysis...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>I disagree with you about the backdrop.  Up close think it looked more like a room divider at a Marriot Courtyard.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Out with the new, in with the old &#039;politics&#039;.
