		<description><![CDATA[Senator Barack Obama has taken a lot of heat for his &#8220;bitter&#8221; statement, but I, for one, am very bitter about what has happened to our country. This bitterness may not be driving me to buy a gun or start going to church again, but it exists nevertheless. I also feel betrayed — by the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To my readers and friends:
Red Zone Blogitics is taking a short hiatus from the blogosphere until the Democratic nomination process for president is decided. Basically, with all of the hot-air speculation around the election, I got tired of hearing my own writing &#8212; along with everyone else&#8217;s. But I offer a few nuggets here in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All this talk of “Hillary’s” voters and “Obama’s” voters threatening to abandon the Democratic ticket in November if “their” gal or guy doesn’t get the nomination makes me wonder, yet again, if the Democratic Party is EVER going to be ready for political prime time.
I’ll admit that, as an Obama supporter and Hillary skeptic, I’ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My dear friends and fellow Americans:
Barack Obama’s “big speech on race” was great, but it won’t erase the negative impressions of the black separatist mindset inspired by the words and images of Wright and even of all-black congregations generally. People are rightly asking why the candidate would want his young, impressionable children exposed to Wright’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don’t know about you, but I still don’t understand how the Democratic Party could have allowed itself to fall into a situation where presidential primaries in two major states, Florida and Michigan, would be rendered null and void. I mean, how dumb can Party leaders be?
Really dumb, it seems. There seems to be a [...]]]></description>

David Paterson to the governorship of New York, the state government moved quickly beyond former Spitzer’s spectacular fall from grace after the now former governor was caught indulging in regular services from a high-priced call girl affiliated with an upper-echelon prostitution ring.

Obama has catapulted himself to the front of the Democratic presidential primary race on his strength as a black candidate who transcends race. As one white male [...]]]></description>
