		<description><![CDATA[I just finished directing my first feature film. The movie&#8217;s called Conflict of Interest and for a self-professed political junkie like myself, it was right up my alley.

The film was initially the brain-child of David Cuddy, owner of Ranch Studios in Kyle, Texas, a place where filmmakers can go, work, foster their ideas by utilizing [...]]]></description>

Republicans keep saying that if we give tax cuts to small businesses, then those small business will then have more money [...]]]></description>

I am not Barack Obama.
Maybe that seems obvious, but since the election has happened, I&#8217;m already getting a vibe from friends and acquaintances that if Obama doesn&#8217;t do the things he campaigned about, somehow, I should feel ashamed for it.
Continually I&#8217;ve stated one-thing over and over: If Obama turns out to not live up to [...]]]></description>

The Republicans ran on a platform of fear and hatred. Of things that are different from their ideals, of people who aren&#8217;t like the [...]]]></description>

Thank you. Thank you to America, for having the faith, and the courage and the fortitude to push past any prejudices you may have had. Prejudices regarding race, or culture, or age or religion. Prejudices that have been formed by the course of your life, and which are never easy to let go.

I think that&#8217;s important to say. Because all of us have known or worked or dealt with people we don&#8217;t necessarily like.

Barack Obama has to hit back against John McCain, because if he doesn&#8217;t, he appears weak, but the truth is, Obama&#8217;s always been right &#8211; it&#8217;s about the issues, and particularly the economy, stupid. Not just focusing on the negative.
