Он — 44й Президент США. Обама, бывший сенатор США от штата Иллинойс, обошёл сенатора от Аризоны Джона Маккейна на президентских выборах 2008, став первым в истории афроамериканцем, избранным на пост Президента.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Промежуточный период начался, когда Обама был выбран президентом 4 ноября 2008 года. Во время промежуточного периода Обама озвучил состав Кабинета и Администрации Президента США. Вскоре после выборов 4 ноября Обама выбрал представителя штата Иллинойс Рама Эммануэля в качестве главы администрации Белого дома.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;В Кабинет вошли бывшие соперники по праймериз: Хиллари Родхэм Клинтон в качестве Государственного Секретаря и Билл Ричардсон в качестве главы Департамента Торговли США.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 декабря Обама объявил, что желает видеть Роберта Гейтса на посту министра обороны, это первый случай, когда министр обороны принадлежит партии, отличной от партии президента.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Во время промежуточного периода обновляется сайт Change.gov, в котором Обама вел блог и размещал видео. Сразу после иннаугурации информация с этого сайта была перенесена на официальный сайт Белого дома Whitehouse.gov.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ожидания&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Начиная с Франклина Рузвельта, первые 100 дней новой администрации были показателем намерений и эффективности президента США. 100 первых дней Обамы закончились 29 апреля. В его интервью с 60 minutes, он сказал, что внимательно изучал «100 дней» Рузвельта. Однако он также добавил, что «100 дней важны, однако что-то могут изменить только первые 1000 дней». Несмотря на это, первые 100 дней Обамы были предметом явного интереса ещё тогда, когда он стал фактическим кандидатом от Демократической Партии. Несколько новостных гигантов объявили о проектах, сделанных для освещения этого события. Комментаторы прикидывают его шансы справиться с проблемами во внутренней и внешней политике, разобраться в экономических и экологических вопросах. CNN представило список экономических вопросов, которые «Обама и его команда должны решить в первые 100 дней». Разработка пакета государственных мер по борьбе с финансовым кризисом позиционируется как самая главная задача в настоящее время.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Клайв Смит, британский юрист по правам человека, надеется, что Обама закроет лагерь Гуантанамо в первые 100 дней президентства.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;источник:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="javascript:void(0);/*1251960143426*/"&gt;wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Где вы сможете найти еще Барака Обаму: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Результаты голосований и прочее. &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/redir/?url=http%3A%2F%2F1stpolitician.com%2F" title="The first politician of USA.

Однако в России положительно относятся к Украине лишь 54,7% населения. Показательна разница в количестве тех, кто относится очень хорошо к соседнему государству - если к Украине так относится лишь 5,5% россиян, то среди украинцев очень хорошо к России относятся 47,3%. Негативное отношение к Украине у 33,5% россиян, между тем как к России негативно относятся только 6,8% украинцев. В целом можно утверждать, что отношение украинцев к русским намного лучше, чем россиян к украинцам. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://ru.electionsmeter.com/%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F/the-return-of-crimean-to-russia" title="Возвращение Крыма России"&gt;Возвращение Крыма России&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;span id="ctl00_MainContentPlaceholder_ctl01_ctl00_lblEntry"&gt; Споры между Россией и Украиной по поводу Крыма продолжаются довольно давно - россияне так и не смирились с потерей этой территории. По мнению 47% респондентов, Россия должна любой ценой добиваться возвращения Крыма. Считают, что не стоит добиваться возвращения Крыма ценой ухудшения российско-украинских отношений, 37% опрошенных. По вопросу о принадлежности Севастополя россияне занимают еще более жесткую позицию. Однако по сравнению с 1997 годом доля тех, кто уверен, что этот город должен принадлежать России, существенно сократилась, а доля тех, кто выступает за совместное владение Севастополем, возросла.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ru.electionsmeter.com/%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F/vstuplenie-rossii-v-evrocoyuz" title="Вступление России в ЕC"&gt;Вступление России в ЕC&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;span id="ctl00_MainContentPlaceholder_ctl01_ctl00_lblEntry"&gt;- Сегодняшние отношения России и стран Евросоюза участники опроса вдвое чаще оценивали как негативные, чем как позитивные (39 и 21% соответственно); при этом очень многие – 40% – затруднились как-либо охарактеризовать эти отношения.&lt;br /&gt;Мы обратились к участникам опроса с просьбой прокомментировать выбор своей позиции (был задан открытый вопрос). Те, кто ратует за вступление России в Евросоюз, приводили самые разные причины, ни одну из которых нельзя назвать доминирующей. Относительно часто говорилось, что вхождение России в ЕС обеспечит рост национальной экономики, ускорит ее интеграцию в мировое экономическое пространство, что, в свою очередь, положительно скажется на благосостоянии россиян (4%). Звучали доводы об укреплении взаимоотношений со странами Европы, о совместном с ними принятии важных международных решений (по 3%). Некоторые полагают, что, вступив в Евросоюз, Россия в скором времени станет более цивилизованной страной (на европейский манер), заявляют, что это повысит авторитет России в мире, что нельзя изолироваться от других стран (по 2%).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ru.electionsmeter.com/%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F/the-financial-crisis-in-russia" title="Финансовый кризис в России"&gt;Финансовый кризис в России&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; - &lt;span id="ctl00_MainContentPlaceholder_ctl01_ctl00_lblEntry"&gt;Кризис на американском рынке ипотечного кредитования заставил экспертов с новой силой заговорить о приближающейся угрозе нового полномасштабного кризиса для российской финансовой системы. В их прогнозах разнятся лишь детали и сроки его наступления.&lt;br /&gt;Вопрос о том, будет ли в России финансовый кризис в 2008-2009 году, волнует многих. В возможный негативный сценарий для российской экономики вписывает свои жирные строки мировой финансовый кризис, черты которого все четче вырисовываются на фоне плохих новостей с мировых финансовых рынков.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ru.electionsmeter.com/%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F/political-situation-in-russia" title="Политическая ситуация в РФ"&gt;Политическая ситуация в РФ&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;span id="ctl00_MainContentPlaceholder_ctl01_ctl00_lblEntry"&gt;Голосуйте о том, если вас устраивает политическая ситуация в России!

Поэтому лучше, полагают они, дружить с Китаем.&lt;br /&gt;-  Китай - традиционно дружественная нам страна, &lt;strong&gt;4%&lt;/strong&gt; респондентов. Мы живем с китайцами на одном континенте, у нас с ними больше общего, чем с американцами ("это близкая по духу и по строю коммунистическая страна"; "раньше были тесные связи - надо восстанавливать").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(155, 187, 89);"&gt;США&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Считающие приоритетными для России отношения с США исходят из того, что по многим параметрам эта страна - мировой лидер; важно дружить с самой сильной державой мира, перенимать ее опыт, полагают они ("США - лидер везде и занимает господствующее положение"; "умный учится у тех, кто умнее и развитее") -&lt;strong&gt;14%&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;-  &lt;strong&gt;2%&lt;/strong&gt; респондентов подчеркивают, что в лице Америки нельзя иметь врага, "США должны быть партнером, а не врагом".&lt;br /&gt;-  &lt;strong&gt;1%&lt;/strong&gt; опрошенных отмечают, что в плане культурных традиций, по стилю жизни, по образу мысли американцы ближе россиянам, чем китайцы ("китайцы - непонятные для нас люди").&lt;br /&gt;-  &lt;strong&gt;1%&lt;/strong&gt; аргументируют свою позицию тем, что с США у России уже давно сложились партнерские отношения, которые надо крепить.&lt;br /&gt;-  Наконец, для &lt;strong&gt;1%&lt;/strong&gt; респондентов доводом в пользу приоритетности партнерских отношений с США фактически оказывается сомнение в необходимости сближаться с Китаем: они опасаются, что в случае укрепления дружбы с этой страной в Россию хлынет поток мигрантов с территории КНР ("могут заселить Россию"; "потеряем всю страну").&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ru.electionsmeter.com/%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F/russia-and-nato" title="Отношения России и НАТО"&gt;Отношения России и НАТО&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="ctl00_MainContentPlaceholder_ctl01_ctl00_lblEntry"&gt; - Отношение к Североатлантическому альянсу уже не в первый раз становится темой нашего опроса. Сегодня более половины россиян (54%) убеждены в том, что блоку НАТО присущи агрессивные стремления (определяют его как оборонительный союз 24% респондентов). Особенно характерны подобные суждения для представителей левого электората (так думают 67% сторонников Г. Зюганова), чье мировоззрение во многом было сформировано в эпоху 'холодной войны'. Сегодня количество респондентов, оценивающих НАТО как агрессивный блок, оказалось на 16 п.п. больше, чем во время массового опроса, проведенного в феврале 1997 года. Тогда представление об агрессивности альянса разделяли 38%, а рассматривали его как оборонительную структуру 24% опрошенных.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://ru.electionsmeter.com/%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F/russia-popularity" title="Популярность России"&gt;Популярность России&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;span id="ctl00_MainContentPlaceholder_ctl01_ctl00_lblEntry"&gt;Россия (Российская Федерация), — государство, расположенное в Евразии (восточной части Европы и в северной части Азии).

Many different forms of euthanasia can be distinguished, including animal euthanasia and human euthanasia, and within the latter, voluntary and involuntary euthanasia. Voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide have been the focus of great controversy in recent years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;As of 2009, some forms of euthanasia are legal in Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands,  Switzerland, the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington the Autonomous Community of Andalusia (Spain), and Thailand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Euthanasia by consent&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Euthanasia may be conducted with consent (voluntary euthanasia) or without consent (involuntary euthanasia). Involuntary euthanasia is conducted where an individual makes a decision for another person incapable of doing so. - Have you voted in the poll Euthanasia ? - The decision can be made based on what the incapacitated individual would have wanted, or it could be made on substituted judgment of what the decision maker would want were he or she in the incapacitated person's place, or finally, the decision could be made by assessing objectively whether euthanasia is the most beneficial course of treatment. In any case, euthanasia by proxy consent is highly controversial, especially because multiple proxies may claim the authority to decide for the patient and may or may not have explicit consent from the patient to make that decision. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Euthanasia by means&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Euthanasia may be conducted passively, non-actively, and actively. Passive euthanasia entails the withholding of common treatments (such as antibiotics, chemotherapy in cancer, or surgery) or the distribution of a medication (such as morphine) to relieve pain, knowing that it may also result in death (principle of double effect). Passive euthanasia is the most accepted form, and it is a common practice in most hospitals. Non-active euthanasia entails the withdrawing of life support and is more controversial. Active euthanasia entails the use of lethal substances or forces to kill and is the most controversial means. An individual may use a euthanasia machine to perform euthanasia on himself / herself. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Assisted suicide&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assisted suicide is a form of euthanasia where the patient actively takes the last step in their death. The term "assisted suicide" is contrasted with "active euthanasia" when the difference between providing the means and actively administering lethal medicine is considered important. - Has changed the detail your opinion on Euthanasia ? - For example, Swiss law on assisted suicide allows assisted suicide, while all forms of active euthanasia (like lethal injection) remain prohibited. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some jurisdictions declare that a person dying as a result of physician assisted suicide does not commit suicide. This ensures that terminally ill people choosing assisted suicide options do not have reduced insurance claims compared to people dying in "natural" way. For example, the Oregon Death with Dignity Act defines that "... participation under the Act is not suicide, so should not affect insurance benefits by that definition."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SAY YOUR OPINION IN THIS POLL!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8148206821186610576-5351955810319057818?l=electionsmeter-vippolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://electionsmeter.com/polls/euthanasia' title='Euthanasia - public opinion online'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://electionsmeter-vippolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/5351955810319057818/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://electionsmeter-vippolitics.blogspot.com/2009/04/euthanasia-public-opinion-online.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8148206821186610576/posts/default/5351955810319057818'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8148206821186610576/posts/default/5351955810319057818'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://electionsmeter-vippolitics.blogspot.com/2009/04/euthanasia-public-opinion-online.html' title='Euthanasia - public opinion online'/><author><name>vippolitics</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10944968706333270738</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OGDeSLWv_qI/SfgozXdX_9I/AAAAAAAAAAQ/Cknsh6GfLl8/S220/sm_1187505641.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148206821186610576.post-4982509502283186963</id><published>2009-04-29T05:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-29T05:53:15.017-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='creationism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evolution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christian. america'/><title type='text'>The End of Christian America</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ndn3.newsweek.com/media/88/post-christian-america-NA01-vl-vertical.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 336px;" src="http://ndn3.newsweek.com/media/88/post-christian-america-NA01-vl-vertical.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The percentage of self-identified Christians has fallen 10 points in the past two decades. &lt;br /&gt;It was a small detail, a point of comparison buried in the fifth paragraph on the 17th page of a 24-page summary of the 2009 American Religious Identification Survey. But as R. Albert Mohler Jr.—president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, one of the largest on earth—read over the document after its release in March, he was struck by a single sentence. For a believer like Mohler a starched, unflinchingly conservative Christian, steeped in the theology of his particular province of the faith, devoted to producing ministers who will preach the inerrancy of the Bible and the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the only means to eternal life—the central news of the survey was troubling enough: the number of Americans who claim no religious affiliation has nearly doubled since 1990, rising from 8 to 15 percent. Then came the point he could not get out of his mind: while the unaffiliated have historically been concentrated in the Pacific Northwest, the report said, "this pattern has now changed, and the Northeast emerged in 2008 as the new stronghold of the religiously unidentified." As Mohler saw it, the historic foundation of America's religious culture was cracking. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;a href="http://ndn3.newsweek.com/media/88/post-christian-america-NA01-vl-vertical.jpg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Newsweek&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8148206821186610576-4982509502283186963?l=electionsmeter-vippolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://electionsmeter.com/arguments/creationism-versus-evolution/3284' title='The End of Christian America'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://electionsmeter-vippolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/4982509502283186963/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://electionsmeter-vippolitics.blogspot.com/2009/04/end-of-christian-america.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8148206821186610576/posts/default/4982509502283186963'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8148206821186610576/posts/default/4982509502283186963'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://electionsmeter-vippolitics.blogspot.com/2009/04/end-of-christian-america.html' title='The End of Christian America'/><author><name>vippolitics</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10944968706333270738</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OGDeSLWv_qI/SfgozXdX_9I/AAAAAAAAAAQ/Cknsh6GfLl8/S220/sm_1187505641.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148206821186610576.post-2484567725841030842</id><published>2009-04-29T04:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-29T04:19:01.989-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='United States'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='popularity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Popularity US - public opinion online</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://electionsmeter.com/files/images/candidates/8af21d5aa631ff05d32902730f896ac6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right;

Obama probably didn't anticipate that his brief dismissal of marijuana legalization during the online town hall would light up a potent movement of support for decriminalization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact that he even addressed such a controversial and oft-ignored topic impressed some. But the way he seemed to deride the question angered manywho quickly expressed their dissent online in website comments, on blogs and throughout social networks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There was one question that was voted on that ranked fairly high and that was whether legalizing marijuana would improve the economy and job creation," the president said during the town hall, amongst a thunder of laughter from the crowd. - Have you voted in the poll Legalize Cannabis ? - "And I don't know what this says about the online audience." More laughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The answer is, no, I don't think that is a good strategy to grow our economy," Obama said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No further explanation given. Next question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His short response was not only disconcerting for marijuana supporters but also a bit perplexing. After all, Obama called for marijuana decriminalization during ... a debate at Northwestern University when he was running for U.S. Senate in 2004. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Web lights up with protests over Obama's dismissal of marijuana legalization. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Mark Milian&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;See &lt;a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/03/obamamarijuana.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Latimes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8148206821186610576-4835427756668390989?l=electionsmeter-vippolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://electionsmeter.com/arguments/legalize-cannabis/3235' title='Marijuana decriminalization'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://electionsmeter-vippolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/4835427756668390989/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://electionsmeter-vippolitics.blogspot.com/2009/04/marijuana-decriminalization.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8148206821186610576/posts/default/4835427756668390989'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8148206821186610576/posts/default/4835427756668390989'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://electionsmeter-vippolitics.blogspot.com/2009/04/marijuana-decriminalization.html' title='Marijuana decriminalization'/><author><name>vippolitics</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10944968706333270738</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OGDeSLWv_qI/SfgozXdX_9I/AAAAAAAAAAQ/Cknsh6GfLl8/S220/sm_1187505641.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148206821186610576.post-914576269896766721</id><published>2009-04-29T03:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-29T03:59:23.291-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='legalize'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cannabis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drug'/><title type='text'>Legalize Cannabis - public opinion online</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://electionsmeter.com/files/images/candidates/6fb772f34380e48f1fbaf3843fefdd52.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 176px;" src="http://electionsmeter.com/files/images/candidates/6fb772f34380e48f1fbaf3843fefdd52.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Cannabis - legalize&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Flowering plant used for medicinal purposes and as a psychoactive.
