		<description>There is absolutely no ideological or political balance to this piece.  I can&#039;t call it news, just an author and her sources spouting about how they &quot;helped&quot; the Obama campaign.  Absolutely insignificant and un-newsworthy.

This is unfortunately the kind of drivel one can now come to expect from campus political &quot;reporting&quot; these days.  How about some hard questions, like why their hero Obama hasn&#039;t come through on many of his campaign promises, or why his signature piece of legislation so far was a massive, bloated &quot;stimulus&quot; bill that cannot possibly achieve its stated goals?  

Maybe it&#039;s a little too deep for a college paper, but how about some reporting on the effect of Scott Brown&#039;s election in the People&#039;s Republic of Taxachussetts?  How about something on the newly needed bipartisanship?  

The impression I get from this piece is that there are at least 3-4 (probably a big-time underestimation) starry-eyed Obama supporters still willing to spout off on the Drake campus.  Break the bubble that surrounds you, and welcome to reality!</description>

		<description>This is clearly news because we need to be aware of how delusional these people can get and how much help they really need.</description>

		<description>how is this a news story? it&#039;s written by someone who is an obvious obama supporter. What about the other side? what a joke.</description>
