		<description>Speaking of Barack Obama:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Barack Obama is a racial-minority individual, and in his heart and mind he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Many people know what Bush did.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bush was absolute evil.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bush is a psychological prisoner.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bush has a lot to worry about.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Submitted by Andrew Yu-Jen Wang&lt;br&gt;B.S., Summa Cum Laude, 1996&lt;br&gt;Messiah College, Grantham, PA&lt;br&gt;Lower Merion High School, Ardmore, PA, 1993&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“GEORGE W. BUSH IS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN U.S. HISTORY” BLOG OF ANDREW YU-JEN WANG&lt;br&gt;______________________&lt;br&gt;I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.</description>

<p>Barack Obama is a racial-minority individual, and in his heart and mind he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.</p>
<p>George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).</p>
<p>George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.</p>
<p>And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.</p>
<p>Many people know what Bush did.</p>
<p>And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.</p>
<p>Bush was absolute evil.</p>
<p>Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.</p>
<p>Bush is a psychological prisoner.</p>
<p>Bush has a lot to worry about.</p>
<p>Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.</p>
<p>In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.</p>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Bush 43 Hadn&#039;t Travelled to Europe Before He Was Elected&lt;/strong&gt; I think it&#039;s pretty clear what a person lacks when he runs for president without first bothering to travel abroad.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bush had barely traveled out of the U.S. when he first ran, and look how his global ignorance has impacted us.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The reporter should have pressed Obama to see his passport stamps and let that reflect on his veracity.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We live in a global society now- familiarity with foreign countries and some idea of their culture is essential to good foreign policy.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Twenty minutes with that idiot Tony Blair doesn&#039;t count.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Bush 43 Hadn&#39;t Travelled to Europe Before He Was Elected</strong> I think it&#39;s pretty clear what a person lacks when he runs for president without first bothering to travel abroad.</p>
<p>Bush had barely traveled out of the U.S. when he first ran, and look how his global ignorance has impacted us.</p>
<p>The reporter should have pressed Obama to see his passport stamps and let that reflect on his veracity.</p>
<p>We live in a global society now- familiarity with foreign countries and some idea of their culture is essential to good foreign policy.</p>
<p>Twenty minutes with that idiot Tony Blair doesn&#39;t count.</p>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Obama is a Liar and a Dreamer!&lt;/strong&gt; I am a born European, and I follow politics (European included) very well, and I will state here for all readers, that OBAMA IS NOT (!!!) the well travelled statesman he delcalres he is! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He has travelled to Europe ONLY ONCE (!!!), when he was on a congressional delegation trip to Russia, and while on his return-leg with a not even 24 hrs lay-over in London, UK., he had the opportunity to meet for 20 minutes (his most mentioned meeting - with other Senators) with at that time British Prime Minister Tony Blair - but to call this one-time travel to Europe, and to point out this short &#039;Hand-Shake and Smile Meeting&#039; with T.Blair as a significant foreign political experience (especially if it is copared to Hillar Clinton) IS NOT ONLY TOTALLY FALSE and INACCURATE, but it is also a BLATANT LIE by B. H. OBAMA about his non-existant foreign travels and experienves!!!&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This guy HAS NO FOREIGN EXPERIENCE AT ALL (!!!) -- AND IT IS FALSE and NOT CORRECT,&#160; that he can say that he has lived in Indonesia for 3 years when he was in his teens and that this has formed him and have given him his tuitive political intuition, or he can say that his grand parents are from a little village in Kenia, allowing him to claim to be a special (and only) destined leader who is sensitive to third world problems (such as AIDS, poverty, hunger, etc.), making him the messiah in social politics with a (falsely claimed) foreign policy experience (WHICH HE HAS DEFINTELY NOT !!!).&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This guy (Barack Hussein Obama) has basically NO FOREIGN EXPERIENCE at all, and if he claims otherwise, he should prove it (whioch he can not!).&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This guy is just a joke - and in every European Election he would not even on the ballot in the first place!!!&lt;/br&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Obama nomination guarentees defeat&lt;/strong&gt; The ugly truth is Obama&#039;s &quot;Muslim problem&quot; will not go away.&#160; The Republicans who are experts in overt racist campaigns in the south and covert racist campaigns everywhere else, will hardly break a sweat in defeating him.&#160; If we Democrats are heedless of politcal reality and nominate Obama we will be snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.&#160; An Obama nomination is the death knell for the party to reclaim the White House.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Did you read it?&lt;/strong&gt; Did you even read the article?&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;He says right up front that he met with Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Try to at least have some intellectual honesty here while you shill for Hillary and her corporate agriculture buddies.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;You are ignorant and a bigot&lt;/strong&gt; He went to a public school in Indonesia that had a majority muslim population but all religions represented for two years. Then he went to a catholic school for two years. HE WAS LESS THAN 10 years old, dummy. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;And there is NO PAPER RECORD of him being registered as a Muslim. That&#039;s something that a couple of his former teachers said and at least one has since said she may be remembering wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;His father was an atheist who had been raised muslim. So yes, the name Hussein is muslim. So what?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;His sister and childhood friends say nothing of the sort.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Something I&#039;ve noticed in recent years is that nearly every right wing belief depends on one thing: a conspiracy theory. Because god knows the facts never support you. Take away paranoid, delusional conspiracy theories and right wingers have nothing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Too inexperienced&lt;/strong&gt; Obama is too inexperienced. He hasn&#039;t been to Great Britain, our #1 ally. This job is hard enough without an inexperienced person running the country and learning as he goes. Obama will never win the general election and a 2 year senator with such little experience has never been elected to the presidency before.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;The democrats need to wake up and elect a candidate with a track record in foreign policy experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;I plan to caucus for Hillary Clinton. She&#039;s a known entity, well respected throughout the world, has excellent experience as a 7 year Senator on the Armed Services committee.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;HILLARY CLINTON 08&lt;/p&gt;</description>
