I did it because I like this endorsement style being followed by many friends of mine.  McCain is going around making us feel that <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Barack_Obama\" title=\"Barack Obama\" rel=\"wikipedia\" class=\"zem_slink\">Obama<\/a> is not &#8220;one of us&#8221; and frankly the choice of his middle name is unfortunate so let\u00b4s all make it sound like any other name.  I was going to write an elaborate article on why I support Obama but I found that <a href=\"http:\/\/radar.oreilly.com\/2008\/10\/why-i-support-barack-obama.html\">Tim O Reilly had written such a good one <\/a>that I will just link to it.  I even agree with Tim\u00b4s criticism that Obama\u00b4s green plan does not go as far as it should.  America needs a big &#8220;public works program&#8221; and green should be it.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/e_U-7CTAJcw&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;fs=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/e_U-7CTAJcw&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;fs=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><\/embed><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\" class=\"zemanta-pixie\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" href=\"http:\/\/reblog.zemanta.com\/zemified\/3df6649c-b9f7-4fc3-b3b2-da5414471866\/\" title=\"Zemified by Zemanta\"><img style=\"border: medium none ; float: right;\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/reblog_e.png?x-id=3df6649c-b9f7-4fc3-b3b2-da5414471866\" alt=\"Reblog this post [with Zemanta]\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"mainphotoarea\"><\/div><div class=\"theme-buttons\"><div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/english.martinvarsavsky.net\/?p=1825\" data-send=\"false\" data-layout=\"box_count\" data-width=\"71\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-font=\"arial\" data-locale=\"en_US\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case that you don\u00b4t know how Intrade works below is their boring, outdated, and yet very informational video that explains the rules of their trading or gambling platform on current events and the odds are for Obama big time.
