            <title>Who is Jim Demmers?</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;I think we all deserve to have Obama be upfront about this as I&#039;d still like to maintain my support for him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is there any explanation about Obama&#039;s claim regarding Jim Demmers in the NH debate?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://thepage.time.com/2008/01/06/who-is-jim-demers/&quot;&gt;Time Article&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://thepage.time.com/sen-clinton-talks-with-time/&quot;&gt;Clinton Discussing the remark&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>2008 Will be Stolen (Unless We Stop It!)</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Obama, let me be frank.&amp;nbsp; What steps are you taking to make sure the 2008 election isn&amp;#39;t manipulated and stolen?&amp;nbsp; Why isn&amp;#39;t there enough discussion regarding these &amp;quot;caging&amp;quot; lists?&amp;nbsp; We can support you all we want, but if there&amp;#39;s another force dictating whose votes count and whose don&amp;#39;t, how are we to deal with that?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Read More Here:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.10zenmonkeys.com/2007/05/24/justice-department-scandal-greg-palast/ &quot;&gt;The Future of America has Been Stolen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>The Confidence of Barack</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m allowing myself to now think further about the idea of an Obama presidency.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s what I want although I&amp;#39;m telling myself to be patient and careful and follow him closely, so that I can develop a stronger opinion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the days and weeks thus far, I&amp;#39;ve not been turned away and I, as many others, feel much more driven to become involved in this political process, that previously before.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m thinking that I should use this weblog to discuss my ideas, concerns, and propositions that can make this campaign stronger.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First of all, Obama&amp;#39;s response to PM Howard was perfect and gracious.&amp;nbsp; Obama should not have to respond to all the critics, especially when they shoot vile, but to watch a candidate respond in a manner that&amp;#39;s both aggressive, sly, and confident is refreshing.&amp;nbsp; Additionally, I don&amp;#39;t see Obama pandering to any demographic other than the millions of Americans who are fed up and that&amp;#39;s exactly what we needed.&amp;nbsp; This is what we have all been asking for.&amp;nbsp; Speak to the American people like the intelligent, unified, and yet complicated people we are.&amp;nbsp; His team&amp;#39;s response to Fox News maddrassa issue was engaging as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A message to the Obama team: If there are any doubts about whether or not Obama should shy away from these remarks and confrontation, get rid of them.&amp;nbsp; We are not looking for an arrogant man.&amp;nbsp; We are not looking for another four years of trash we deal with now.&amp;nbsp; We are just looking for someone to &lt;em&gt;define &lt;/em&gt;the validity in our feelings and thinking.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some of us fear we are no longer represented in this nation.&amp;nbsp; Continue standing up for yourself Barack and hopefully your confidence in this new direction, will further influence our nation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
