		<description>Do Americans realize that Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are cold-calling American voters for the Obama campaign? Al Jazeera recently reported on a group of young Palestinians in the Gaza Strip who took it upon themselves to get together and randomly cold-call Americans in the U.S., encouraging them to vote for Obama.
 
Abu Juyyab said through an interpreter, that since January, he and 17 friends have called Americans randomly via the Internet before each primary. Yet Federal Election Law “prohibits any foreign national from contributing, donating or spending funds in connection with any federal, state or local election in the United States, either directly or indirectly.”
 
Cleta Mitchell, an election law expert who works with Republican clients, told FOX that the money spent at an Internet café to make these calls definitely qualifies as a contribution and that the Obama team needs to track them down and “tell them to stop.”  Yeah right! He’ll get right on that!</description>

		<description>The clip I saw showed Michelle Obama reaching over and across her husband when he was eating. Talk about poor table manners! Maybe she missed manners in all her high falutin&#039; education!</description>

		<description>At least he did not &quot;cackle&quot; and burst into some more laughs and then make a stupid excuse.  Get over it people, he has a right to eat his breakfast in peace and not answer the same question repeatedly.</description>

		<description>Just notice something here: The articles mentions in a sentence hidden in the middle of all the waffle talk:&quot;he has given dozens of interviews to local press in Pennyslvania&quot;

Where are the quotes from these interviews? Did they mention anything about them or how long they were? No, the only quote they got out of the DOZEN interviews he&#039;s had in Pennsylvania is a 2 second waffle comment? And then they have the audacity to criticize him for not wanting to talk to reports during a 15 minute breakfast?</description>

		<description>Obama has a $1,000,000 tour bus to eat on in private.  He dined with the common folk for political reasons, so he could look like a common folk instead of an elitist which he is.  He could at least take questions and be approachable.  If he really wanted privacy for his waffle fix, he should have just went on the bus.  Very simple.  Politicians are in the public light and they HAVE no privacy unless they make privacy.</description>

		<description>Let the man eat his breakfast in peace.  He was going to have a long day ahead of him and needed to have some food for energy.  Besides, as a Scranton native, let me assure you that if you had ever had the Glider&#039;s food, you would want to finish your breakfast too.....It&#039;s the best diner in the world and a Scranton landmark.  Funny that Hillary who always talks about her Scranton roots didn&#039;t make it there.</description>

		<description>He&#039;s been speaking to tons of local news reporters.  The way that mass-media has been desperate for news to fill their 24 hour line-ups goes to show how clean he really is.  No sex scandals or secret tax returns here.  Instead, media pounces on flag pins and waffles.

Pathetic.

Oh, and all you chest-thumping Hillary and McCain fans touting about straight shooting and response to the press, you keep letting Clinton smile, joke, and walk away, or McCain talk in circles, and you&#039;re up in arms about breakfast?

Pay attention to what matters.  And I swear, I hear that tired old kitchen metaphor again, I&#039;ll snap.</description>

		<description>Are you serious with this waffle thing.  Oh man.

If this were a contest strictly on judgement, integrity, poise, leadership, inspiration, change and NOT on typical political games, there is no contest. Obama is the obvious choice. I am optimistic that our country is tired of the games and are ready to get some real stuff done. I think the world is watching very closely and our character as a country is being defined. Let&#039;s hope it is defined by Obama and not Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity. Our choice...and we deserve whatever the consequences of that choice are. Stay strong and focused Obama. If your campaign over the last 16 months is any indication of how you will run the White House - WOW.</description>
