		<description>Gee, that&#039;s funny. Before the election campaign, it looked like the country was only divided *once*. Now everything&#039;s just splintered.

Is there no one that we can all get behind?

Well, that&#039;s obvious. I guess a better question is, &quot;Will we ever be able to unite behind anything again after 9/11?&quot;

Call me a pessimist, but I do believe that this--what we&#039;re experiencing right here and now--indicates a terrorist victory. I wonder whether the British Empire suffered a similar political fate when our colonies were fighting the unconventional war which won our independence?

I do hope that it doesn&#039;t require total and complete bankruptcy for our own nation to come to its senses. That&#039;s what happened to the United Kingdom. That&#039;s why the British pound ceased to become the world&#039;s currency standard.

Pride goes before a fall. Whom do you suppose can swallow his or her pride, in order to focus on the immense task at hand? These United States cannot be considered united in any sense of the word, and we have too much at stake to keep sniping at each other.

Whom do you suppose has an interest in us being divided, besides our obvious enemies? Perhaps the media likes it that way, so that we&#039;ll keep tuning into presentations that feed our partisan points of view, and they can sell targeted advertising to us.

Think it over. Do you like arguing like this? Does it make you feel better about anything? What satisfaction is available in schadenfreude?</description>

		<description>&quot;Hillary is for me and for all Americans.&quot;

That&#039;s great because we are going to need her voice in the Senate.

&quot;Wake up America.&quot;

Is it 3:00 AM already?

&quot;Retire this debt&quot;

You folks should have thought about that when you were demanding that she not give up the race. 

&quot;put Hillaryâ€™s name in nomination in August&quot;

Surely you jest! First you want us (Obama supporters) to retire her debt then you want us to standby while you attempt to scuttle the Convention. Too funny.

&quot;count my vote properly in Michigan, count the vote in Florida and super delegates&quot;

Duly counted under the rules of the Democratic Party, NEXT!

&quot;The Democratic Party has shamed themselves with nominating the least experienced candidate through their Chicago style politics during one of our countryâ€™s most trying times in history.&quot;

While I disagree with all of your characterizations, we&#039;re pretty happy with our candidate, thank you very much.</description>

		<description>Obama supporters are experiencing the cognitive dissonance ringing in their ears of having to bail out a fellow democrat who came into the campaign as the entitled assumptive candidate, allowed her team to mismanage her campaign strategies and finances, and still is not nor will not ever be committed to supporting Obama.

However, the one way she could transcend her well-earned and well-documented divisiveness and garner across the aisle respect is to take responsibility for running her campaign so deeply into the red and RETIRE HER OWN DEBT using the Clinton fortune, instead of listening to her advisors who come up with ridiculous and pathetic marketing ploys like this tee-shirt strategy. This tactic exploits her supporters who are so riled with fury that they are actually going to vote for McCain. Clinton, as a good democrat, should be attacking McCain with the same vehemence and toughness she unleashed upon Obama during the primary. Instead, we hear nothing. Except &quot;Buy my tee-shirt.&quot; Me. Me. Me.</description>

		<description>Obama left his minister after he started badmouthing him in public. He would&#039;ve been weak not to do what he did.

The way Hillary extolled McCain&#039;s experience, mocked Obama&#039;s message of hope, and intimated he was a closet Muslim was just disgusting. A power hungry leech like her has no place anywhere near the Presidency.</description>

		<description>Someone in their post said that Hillary would do anything to get the nomination.  Please.  How can any Obama supporter say that with a straight face now.  It was evident when he separated himself from his minister of 20 plus years. He not only do anything, he change any political position and renounce anyone who might potentially lose him votes.....whoever that person may be.  Now we know what he meant but be for &quot;change&quot;.  Thgis man would do anything !</description>

		<description>PUMA - I&#039;ll never vote for Obama.  :)  When Hillary won 11 states (OH, PA, NM, etc.), she got 555 delegates and he got 550.  The weaker candidate was ushered in and now the DNC will have to live with that mistake.  

Right now BarackObama.com is tanking in website hits. He is currently at pre-Iowa caucus levels (currently at around Jan. 2nd). John McCainâ€™s site and Bob Barrâ€™s site have remain constant. Barack Obamaâ€™s polling numbers have remained unchanged since May 18th. For a â€œpopularâ€ presumptive candidate, you would think you would see his numbers increasing.&quot;</description>

		<description>Boo hoo, Hillary lost, get over it. She was relying on the superdelegates, she&#039;s the one who signed the pledge not to count Michigan and Florida, and she&#039;s the one who resorted to mudslinging. When things didn&#039;t work out for her, she flipflopped on everything. She&#039;ll do anything to win, and it&#039;s pathetic.</description>

		<description>I voted for this design back in May, and I was hoping it would be available. It is a fitting design for HRC&#039;s campaign. Hillary is the only candidate who would have fought for the people, and I&#039;m proud to purchase one of these shirts to help retire her debt. I&#039;m glad she fought til the end, and since neither candidate could mathematically win, she did the just thing, and the voters in all states wanted her to continue.

Let&#039;s see..the Obama fundraisers are balking at helping retire Hillary&#039;s debt, which would be around $10 million, since Hillary isn&#039;t asking for any of the loan to herself. Hillary is asking her fundraisers to throw their support to Obama, which should garner him around $50-100 million. Seems odd the Obama fundraisers would balk at such an investment!</description>
