		<description>An open prayer to President Obama:

President Obama, please openly support all the hard-working ALASKA ATHLETES that have been busting a move and breaking a sweat for several years to qualify for the Vancouver Olympics, and the families who support them, long before they got derailed by Sarah Palin and the Republican National Christian story.

Please, God, grant the greater public the wisdom and insight to understand that the 2010 WINTER OLYMPICS deserve as much attention - &lt;b&gt;BEFORE IT&#039;S TOO LATE &lt;/b&gt; - as Wasilla folk Levi Johnston and his baby, and Sarah Palin. 

Please, God, deliver understanding to the Alaska State Legislature, the Alaska media, and the Bob &amp; Mark Show, that the next winter Olympics - 2010 in Vancouver - are just &lt;b&gt;91 days&lt;/b&gt; away, and that by the time Alaskans have recovered their senses, it will be TOO LATE to make an Alaska presence at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.

Please, God, help President Obama see that THIS Olympics, in just 90 days, has the potential to be an historic moment again for America. I beg that God will show President Obama that an opportunity exists for an Eskimo to compete in the Olympic Games representing the United States, for the first time time ever, in Olympic history. 
Mr. President, please understand that this moment does nothing to undermine you; but extends your victory beyond you and your family&#039;s expectations and career plan.

Dear God, please grant that the Alaska Congressional Delegation might better understand the sacrifice made by Alaska athletes and families to financially support those who are nominated to United States National Teams. Please Bless them with the appreciation of the fact that absences from the state are no different than attending universities out of Alaska, and that Alaska athletes pay cash for those training opportunities, as well as travel expenses, and show them that &lt;b&gt;it is fair and just to allow Alaska athletes to be eligible for the Permanent Fund Dividend&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;i&gt;Particularly Senator Murkowski, whose children participate in ski racing.&lt;/i&gt;

Thank you.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m glad to hear Lou Dobbs is gone from CNN but it will take more than that to get me back.  I don&#039;t even like Anderson Cooper anymore since I saw the look on his face when they were commenting on Pres. Obama&#039;s Peace Prize.  I think the media as a whole needs a make-over.</description>

		<description>I read this update at wonkette:

UPDATE: New York Times, with the predictable scoop! “Months ago the president of CNN/U.S., Jonathan Klein, spelled out two options for Lou Dobbs, the channel’s most outspoken anchor. Mr. Dobbs could vent his opinions on radio and anchor an objective newscast on television, or he could leave CNN altogether.” [YouTube, NYT]</description>

		<description>Trisha, you could be on to something with Scarah using that email.....I wonder if there is a way to find the date it was written.

Also, too......is there a way to dig up Scarah&#039;s stats for high school basketball?  from the Greta interview when she brought up the barracuda nick name as a topic and asked about stats. Todd said &quot;Don&#039;t go there&quot;......is this because he doesn&#039;t respect or isn&#039;t proud of her basketball playing abilities? or is it an untrue story? do the stats prove her claim of big hot shot jock or not. Or is she doing what she does so well, stretching the truth and &#039;makin things up&#039;.

Why didn&#039;t he want that as part of the interview, is it because only Scarah can talk about that &#039;story&#039;. I bring this up because it will be interesting to see what she writes in her book about basketball. We know she&#039;s going to embellish the real story, because after all, her father and basketball is what formed her life mindset.

I&#039;ve read some comments around the blogosphere saying they cannot believe Scarah would be so dumb to pull the child card with Levi and expect to get away with it. Well, to that I say, if you have ever personally known a narcissistic type person, absolutely she would do this. No one tells these people what to do. No one can control them. They ALWAYS think they are right. They only trust their own self. They think seeking advice or opinion makes them look weak, inept and needy. Plus, the more attention and adoration they get, the more confirmed they are of their correct thinking and decisions. The lost campaign, was not her fault, in her mind.</description>

		<description>Lou Dobbs &#039;Quitting speech &#039; tonight is in many ways similar to $arah&#039;s.

He talked about some &#039; problems &#039; ( ethics complaints) with America and the way He sees them. BUT... he is going to find a way to address this problems and talk about them , but just not from behind his TV desk as an Anchor ( as Governor) However he will be on the Job and although he doesn&#039;t know in what capacity He can or will do this he has other &#039; offers &#039; ( 1000&#039;s as per Meg) and he will let us know down the road. He has options.

Is this the New &#039; form letter &#039; that all the GOP Leaders will use in the future when they Quit.... or get pushed out, by someone/CNN.( Sarah-who or what pushed Her ? ) Something rushed her out the door.
Maybe Lou has a Job lined up with Dick Armeys &quot; Freedom Works &quot; and Lou can be a Tea-Bagger Spokesperson when they go to/create these impromptu/staged grass-roots demonstrations..?</description>
