The Obama Camp is a very well oiled machine that has the backing and support of a large majority of Americans. Its our money that we donated for this political machine to keep running, to fight for the change we want and need. I am sorry that getting over your own personnal hurrdles cripple you from coming out from behind the group that is quickly becoming the minority here in the United States. My suggestion, get over the hurrdle, follow the Obama campaign solgans you may see in your local papers, news channels, or even here on the internet, then drop the wall of denial, and agree that 'Change' in people like you here in our great nation is exactly what the Obama Camp is talking about!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Best wishes in your recovery,&lt;br&gt;The People of the United States! &amp;nbsp; </description></item><item><title>Obama: Coverage of the overseas trip</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/21/1211543.aspx#1212207</link><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:25:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1212207</guid><dc:creator>TOMMY, HOPEWELL JUNCTION, NEW YORK</dc:creator><description>GO OBAMA!
