		<description>Give it time, Ronnie.  The wingnuts still have two weeks to wreak havoc and chaos, and that will be part of it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The baby&#039;s mother probably is getting crank calls about allowing that N-gger to hold her baby already.</description>

		<description>I think they&#039;re doing just fine. My suspicion is that that was not a mis-step on Senator Biden&#039;s part but part of a strategy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I also expect that there will be people who are upset that it&#039;s not going how they want it to and if its not this it will be something else for others.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The proof one way or another will be in what happens with the election. Everything other than that -- including my own thoughts on this stuff --  is just speculation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My suggestion NMP is if you are really this upset make sure you send something directly to the Obama campaign through their website, if you haven&#039;t already. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, posting this over and over and over here ... I don&#039;t know what the usefulness is, really.</description>

		<description>We all know what&#039;s coming, the only question is how will the Campaign respond.  I&#039;m sorry if it pisses some off, but I can&#039;t let go of what Biden did.  It doesn&#039;t just piss me off that he would give the McCain camapign amunition, particularly that Palin, but the weak almost non-response pisses me off even more.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That idiot, who has no business challenging a GI Joe doll, on foreign policy, is out there now ridiculing both Biden and Obama on foreign policy.  Joe Biden needs to clean up his remarks and take it directly to her.  He needs to respond with a &quot;how dare you of all people&quot; moment.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How they are closing out these last two weeks is eerily remniscent of the primaries.  And it&#039;s not enough!  They have to close the deal, and it can&#039;t be done in weak non-responsive position.</description>

		<description>Well let me grab onto your coat tails, because I am increasingly discouraged by the ugly and vile attitudes I&#039;m seeing / hearing every day from my fellow white Americans. It sickens me and makes me almost unbearably sad. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I do have some hope that &lt;i&gt;when&lt;/i&gt; he is elected, he will come to be a respected and beloved leader for this country. Maybe that&#039;s what&#039;s needed for these racist fucks to hit bottom and recognize their despicable and corrupt beliefs for what they are. I can only hope, but I definitely do, else I&#039;d be crying all day over this campaign. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I still can&#039;t get past the hypocrisy of it all and it just bugs the shit out of me. How to detach? Anyone know?</description>

		<description>The baby pictures are way cute-- and, don&#039;t you think they also say something terrific about BHO&#039;s character? He so clearly loves babies, and they love him back.  If there are any grownups out there who honestly can&#039;t make up their minds to &quot;trust&quot; him, I think they should take a good look at the way those babies feel about him!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;YES WE CAN!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve got hope as I review &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://francislholland.blogspot.com/2008/10/obamabiden-trends-historically.html&quot;&gt;the polling numbers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that say that the more people see of Palin and McCain, the less they like them, particularly when they are doing nothing but making fatuous and patently false accusations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But, the photograph above shows that people with white skin are not inherently afraid, etc., of people with brown skin.  That kind of color arousal has to be carefully taught. It&#039;ll be harder to convince children and adults that Blacks are &quot;inherently stupid and dangerous&quot; when Barack Obama is president and has an international forum from which to demonstrate the contrary.  Electiing Barack Obama will be a public relations coup for Black people, more important than the &quot;I Like Mike&quot; campaign for Nike Sneakers (?), in fact the most important product endorsement in the history of America, with Black excellence as the product.</description>

		<description>Yup, some white woman handed over her baby to the O-man,  Get her used to interfacing with people of color early, so it is natural to her when she grows up.</description>
