		<description>Oh, 
I&#039;m glad you&#039;re back. I hope you got some support around the birth. I&#039;m sorry it was so difficult. Hang in.</description>

		<description>oh boo, way to rain on my parade! :-P I really like the guy...at least what I know of him so far. For the first time it&#039;s felt like not choosing between the lesser of two evils, but instead voting for a candidate you really actually like.

But then, he&#039;s a politician. Politicans are always politicians. &quot;good&quot; is always actually shades of gray. Maybe I am still &quot;playing the game&quot;, but I do feel like I have to make a choice. It&#039;s either that or not have any say in the matter at all, which is untenable to me. I won&#039;t throw away my vote and then watch Republicans hijack our country for another 4 years of terror, and I still prefer him to Hillary, or any of the other candidates. Ominous, what you&#039;re sayiing, though, about the republicans flocking to him for blatantly republican reasons.

Glad you weighed in, though. I knew you&#039;d have an opinion on the &quot;Amerikkkan&quot; primaries. ;-) I&#039;ll go check out your blog asap.

Wasn&#039;t actually sick, just had a very difficult birth which totally robbed me of my will to blog for awhile. I&#039;m still not sure if I&#039;ll write about it here, but it feels good to be picking up the pieces again.

Hope you&#039;re well!</description>

		<description>Hee, hee, hee!

I&#039;m glad you&#039;re back. I was starting to worry that your illness was more major than it initially seemed.

Obama?

If you have any free time, I&#039;ve got a google search device near the bottom of my sidebar. I&#039;ve been writing about him and his &quot;change&quot;. I know it seems as if people have to vote for someone. That&#039;s part of the game. They offer a choice that&#039;s not actually a choice at all. Just the same regime updated, tidied up, in this case darkened in order to have a particular kind of mass appeal that manipulates. It&#039;s not sweet, really. Neither him nor Hilary are attractive. There&#039;s  very good reason why conservative Republicans are flocking to him and it&#039;s not because he&#039;ll unite the country behind &quot;change&quot;, it&#039;s because they know what he&#039;ll do once he gets in.</description>
