If you do like Obama and if you’re concerned about Mitt Romney, you have another network you can turn to and get 24 hours of why this guy’s all about shipping [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By David Catanese July 10, 2012 This is the moment Claire McCaskill has been waiting for. The muddled three-way Republican primary for Missouri’s Senate seat is entering a final four-week sprint that’s expected to feature a ferocious intraparty food fight. Or at least that’s what the first-term Democratic incumbent-turned-underdog is betting on. Trailing in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reading a letter to the editor in the St. Louis Post Dispatch I caught this one. Wish I had written it myself. Can&#8217;t we heed the warning? Ultra-conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer is a trained psychiatrist, which explains his most recent psychobabble regarding the president&#8217;s ability as commander in chief (&#8220;Obama: the drone warrior,&#8221; June 3).

		<description><![CDATA[Don’t know how they did it but Congress let expire the ethanol tax subsidy when they adjourned on December 23.  Perhaps credit should be given to the Tea Party? Who cares who gets it we should all rejoice.  Corn is the worst and least efficient ingredient used to create ethanol.  Some estimates are as high [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After the 2010 mid- term elections I suggested that the President needed to do one thing.  Address the deficit or suffer in the polls. Well, he didn’t take my advice and yet his numbers are relatively unchanged, perhaps a slight improvement.  I stand by my advice and suggest that his numbers would be remarkably higher [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I chose not to get involved in this year&#8217;s critically important Kansas City Mayoral race due to the health of a good friend and former candidate Albert Reiderer.  As you may recall, Albert ran 4 years ago finishing 3rd and barely missing the runoff between Mark Funkhouser and Alvin Brooks.  If he had made that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2011 will be the year that we learn if President Obama learned anything in the first two years of office.  He came in with little experience but was indoctrinated by fire inheriting the financial crisis and fiscal mess left by the Bush Administration and two wars.  All continue today. The mid terms said a lot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Midterm elections are almost always difficult for the party in charge but...2010 is a whopper. President Obama deserves most of the responsibility too. I agree with Truman. The buck stops there. Given the financial crisis he inherited and near depression like recession, I am not sure you take on fundamental healthcare reform at all. The banking industry had to come first, followed by the economy. Within that framework he could have interjected both energy, housing and healthcare as they are all central and critical to our entire economy.]]></description>
