The Barack Obama Biography
Barack Obama (born August 4, 1961) is a U.S. Senator from Illinois. He is a member of the main Democratic Party. He has received international media coverage for his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, delivered while he was still an Illinois state senator. As a senior lecturer in constitutional law at the University of Chicago law school, Obama won the open Senate seat by defeating former ambassador Alan Keyes. He is the only African American who is currently serving in the U.S. Senate, and the fifth in the entire United States history and the third since Reconstruction. The 2004 U.S. Senate election in Illinois made history as the first Senate election to feature black nominees from both major parties. Obama won the election in a landslide, with 70% of the vote to Keyes' 27%. He is junior senator to Richard Durbin. Obama is married to Michelle Obama, a Chicago native. They have two daughters: Malia Ann (born in 1999) and Natasha (born 2001).
His Early life Barack Obama was born at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii to Harvard-educated economist Barack Obama, Sr., a native of Kenya, and S. Ann Dunham, of Kansas. Ms. Dunham is a distant descendant of Jefferson Davis, the first and only president of the Confederate States of America; she is also part Cherokee Indian. At the time of Obama's birth, both his parents were students at the East-West Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. "Barack" means "blessed" in Swahili. Of his years in Hawaii, Obama has written, "The irony is that my decision to work in politics, and to pursue such a career in a big Mainland city, in some sense grows out of my Hawaiian upbringing, and the ideal that Hawaii still represents in my mind." When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father eventually returned to Kenya, and he saw his son only once more before his death in 1982. Ann Obama married another East-West Center student from Indonesia. The family then moved to Jakarta, where Obama's half-sister Maya was born (Obama has other half-siblings from his father's later marriages). When Obama was ten he returned to Hawaii under the care of his grandparents, and later his mother, for the better educational opportunities. He was enrolled in the fifth grade at Punahou School, a prestigious academy that once taught the Hawaiian royal family. He graduated with honors.
His College experience and career Upon finishing high school, Obama studied for two years at Occidental College in California, before transferring to Columbia University in New York City. There he majored in political science, with a specialization in international relations. Upon graduation, he moved to Chicago, where he took up community organizing in the Altgeld Gardens housing project on the city's South Side. While in Chicago, he joined the Trinity United Church of Christ. He left Chicago for three years to study law at Harvard University, where he was elected the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. He graduated Magna Cum Laude. While working one summer at a corporate law firm in 1989, Obama met Michelle Robinson, whom he married in 1992. Robinson is also a graduate of Harvard Law. While in Chicago as a community organizer once again, Obama organized an aggressive voter registration effort that aided in the election of President Bill Clinton and Senator Carol Moseley Braun. The campaign registered over 100,000 voters. Soon after, his talents earned him a position at a local civil rights law firm, and he became a lecturer of constitutional law at the University of Chicago, where he served as a professor until his election to the U.S. Senate.
Barack Obama and Politics Illinois General Assembly In 1996, Obama was elected to the Illinois State Senate from the south side neighborhood of Hyde Park, in Chicago. He served as chairman of the Public Health and Welfare Committee when the Democrats regained control of the chamber. The Chicago Tribune called him "one of the General Assembly's most impressive members." Regarded as a staunch liberal during his tenure in the legislature, he helped to author a state Earned Income Tax Credit which provided benefits to the working poor. He also worked for legislation that would cover residents who could not afford health insurance. Speaking up for leading gay and lesbian advocacy groups, he successfully helped pass bills to increase funding for AIDS prevention and care programs. In 2000, he ran unsuccessfully in the Democratic primary for Illinois' 1st Congressional district against incumbent Representative Bobby Rush. After the loss, Obama rededicated his efforts to the state Senate. He authored one of the most progressive death penalty reform laws in the nation, under the guidance of his mentor, former U.S. Senator Paul Simon. He also pushed through legislation that would force insurance companies to cover routine mammograms.
His United States Senate campaign In 2004, Obama decided to run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Sen. Peter Fitzgerald. In the Democratic primary, he trailed business tycoon Blair Hull and Illinois Comptroller Dan Hynes. However, Hull was soon embroiled by allegations of domestic abuse. As Obama's name recognition rose, voters took a liking to the bright, charismatic senator. He won decisively in the March primary, dispatching the other six candidates easily, and winning more than 50 percent of the vote. Entering the U.S. Senate campaign, Obama had become a national Democratic star. He squared off against former Goldman Sachs partner and teacher Jack Ryan, the winner of the Republican primary. Ryan trailed Obama in the polls, and Obama opened up a twenty point lead after the media brought attention to the fact that Ryan had assigned an aide to stalk Obama. However, during the campaign, a California court ruling opened custody files from Ryan's divorce from actress Jeri Ryan, in which she alleged that he had brought her without her knowledge to sex clubs, intending for her to have sex with him in public. The files, which were part of the custody proceedings regarding the Ryans' young son, were opened as a result of a lawsuit brought by the Chicago Tribune and WLS-TV, a local ABC affiliate. Ryan had insisted that there was nothing damaging in the files, and many Republican leaders openly questioned Ryan's integrity following the release. Ryan was forced to leave the race on June 25, 2004, leaving Obama without an opponent. Keyes, a black conservative Republican, had an uphill battle, as Obama had high popularity across the state and Keyes had no ties to Illinois politics. During the time when he had no opponent, Obama campaigned across more conservative downstate areas that ordinarily served as the base for the Republican nominee. A Marylander, Keyes had established legal residency in Illinois with the nomination, the only requirement to run for office. The Chicago Tribune sarcastically greeted Keyes by editorializing: "Mr. Keyes may have noticed a large body of water as he flew into O'Hare. That is called Lake Michigan." Keyes's previous comments about U.S. Senator and former First Lady Hillary Clinton's run for Senate in New York, ("I deeply resent the destruction of federalism represented by Hillary Clinton's willingness to go into a state she doesn't even live in and pretend to represent people there, so I certainly wouldn't imitate it.") led many to call Keyes hypocritical. Keyes often rebutted this by pointing out that he was invited to run for the position in Illinois, whereas he claimed Clinton was not. After a campaign in which Keyes called Obama's position on abortion "the slave-holder's position" and also claimed that Jesus would not vote for Obama, Obama won handily in the general election. Obama received 70% of the popular vote, to Keyes' 27%. Keynote address Obama was chosen to deliver a keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, Massachusetts, and became the third African American to do so. (The first was Barbara Jordan, at the 1976 Democratic National Convention, and the second was Harold Ford, Jr. at the 2000 Democratic National Convention.) His speech outlined his own family's pursuit of the American Dream, and his belief in a 'generous America'. His maternal grandfather, after serving in World War II, was the beneficiary of the New Deal's FHA and GI Bill and had high hopes for their daughter, because, as Obama said, "in a generous America you don't have to be rich to achieve your potential". But he charged that "we have more work to do" for people who are not able to realize the American Dream, maintaining that self responsibility is an important component and people "don't expect government to solve all their problems". He criticized the Bush administration for not supporting troops in Iraq. He spoke of an enlisted Marine named Shamus from East Moline, asking, "Are we serving Shamus as well as he was serving us?" He continued: When we send our young men and women into harm's way, we have a solemn obligation not to fudge the numbers or shade the truth about why they're going, to care for their families while they're gone, to tend to the soldiers upon their return, and to never ever go to war without enough troops to win the war, secure the peace, and earn the respect of the world. Finally he spoke for national unity: "Well, I say to them tonight, there's not a liberal America and a conservative America; there's the United States of America." Perhaps the most often quoted sound bite followed: "We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States." The address was generally regarded as a great success, thrusting Obama into the national spotlight (similar to New York Governor Mario Cuomo's address at the 1984 DNC).
Senate career Obama was sworn in as a Senator on January 5, 2005. He ranked 99th out of 100 Senators in terms of official seniority (greater seniority brings greater privileges in the Senate), ranking ahead of only new Democratic Senator Ken Salazar of Colorado. In his first few months in office, Obama drew praise by his perceived attempts to avoid the limelight and devote large amounts of effort to being a Senator; a Washington Post article spread an anecdote of Obama refusing an upgrade to first-class on a flight home. In March of 2005, Obama announced that he was forming his own PAC, a move not usually undertaken until several years into a politician's career. In late March 2005, Obama announced his first proposed Senate bill, the Higher Education Opportunity through Pell Grant Expansion Act of 2005 (HOPE Act), which aims to raise the maximum amount of Pell Grant awards to help assist American college students with paying for their tuition. Obama announced the bill at the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and said, "Everywhere I go, I hear the same story: 'We work hard, we pay our bills, we put away savings, but we just don't know if it's going to be enough when that tuition bill comes.'" The April 18, 2005 issue of TIME Magazine listed the 100 most influential people in the world. Obama was included on the list under the section of 'Leaders and Revolutionaries' for his high-profile entrance to federal politics and his popularity within the Democratic Party.

i had sex with obama the whole time he was on the campaign trail and then some after he won so my question is should i tell cause i really dont want to cause heartache for him or the family i met them and their wonderful people. I mean the day I was in the white house i slept with him too but i mean it just happened i mean i told him he was attractive and he kissed me and then one thing led to another and now i might have his. but it's not offical yet though i still havent been to the doctor so let me know what you think. this is recently that i met the family i mean i surpised they didn't see it on the video we made. But seriously tell me what you think.
Do You Really Think that Obama could be the First President with a different skin tone and not get treated like this...Do You really think that the people that have nothing to do with you as a person of color will just sit back like WE DID OUR ENTIRE LIVES and let this President of The United States Of America and be comfortable with it. Now U tell me who has class and who does not have class. Tacky S.O.B's if u ask me....
obama is an awesome president suckas
obama is an awesome president
actually, he had gay relationships with a WHITE male!!!!!! GROSSSSS
Obama WAS GAYYYY!!!! He did it with a gay TWICE. BUT NO MORE!!
Obamas' bio forgot to mention Ayers, Dohrn and osawatomie, his real character. So what if the supreme law requires a president provide proof of legitimacy that only a birth certificate can prove? Revolutionaries believe the end justifies the means right? Remember that because it is the motto hackers use when exposing filthy secrets like global warming fraud . ACORN is up next and is tied at the hip with the Landrieu bribe in the health care bill. Payoffs for unAmerican activities will be your downfall as the communists all claim equality but fill their pockets with loot as fast as they can. Smile, you're on the FBI watch list still. foia.fbi .gov/weather/we ath1a.pdf
Taylor you are such a dick!Obama is not gay you ing stupid ass hoe!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
Did you guys know he was GAY???????????? ?????
i just hope he remembers the little fellow and the hard working people and the poor and the sick all of them need help from us. if there is a god ibelieve so then it is out duty to help others and not be so concerned as to how much money and things we have. greediness will be the ruin of this great nation. god help us to help others without seeking a trophy to do so. good work obama don't give up. hard work and the ability to listen are important.
There is nothing wrong with being GAy!!!!!!!!
I know!!!!!! How did she do THAT with him.
SUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUPER GROSS!!!!! i did not know that. I look at him in a different way now. Who was he any, and how can MICHELLE even hav kids with him. I would never be able to do that.
You guys are probably blind if you didn't read about Obama being queer and hving nasty relationships with a white male in the magazines(super gross). Since WAS GAY, he might make gay marriage legal in whole US(which means doomsday is around the corner.)
Having done extensive research on Barack Obama as part of a government assignment. I have come to understand why there is come colfiction with a majority against him. Maybe the fact that he is half african america and white, that he was raised with his grandparents and maybe the fact that he grew up with out the presence of his biological father. Barack Obama has faced enough circumstances that have led him to understand a "real american". His family did not come from money, how I would word it. On the other hand his efforts to continue his education and furthur his involvment in the urban community in the american community, not the upperclass section. Has lead him to become the president of the United states. I understand the that this country has not grasp the word of equality. We still address the president " the first black president" He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii this means by law that he is an american. I am proud that this is my president of the United State of America, Barack Obama.
I m proud to live in a world where i have world leader like borak obama himself not as a president, live forever borak obama.
OBAMA ROCKS!!! LikE DUHH!
No one can run for or be elected to office if they are not a US citizen. In a country of supposed intelligence I find it amazing that many people do not even know the laws of this country. Pray for him if you want, but pray for yourself to stop judging others. Christianity isn't just words it is actions. PS Muslims stop there entire world to pray 5 times a day...we can't say that! Too interested in profits here in our beautiful free country.

First of all, the bad language you use only shows you are ignorant.Second , Obama was not born in Hawaii, he was born in Kenya, and therefore should not of been allowed to run for President. He is not even an american citizen. Do your research, and look for the truth. I guess no one cares that they voted in a muslium as our president. With that said he is our president and we should pray for him and be respectful of him even if we didnt vote for him.
I HATE PEOPLE WHO JUDGE OTHERS FOR THERE RACE OR COLOUR OF SKIN. im a white women and im proud to say that i support mr.Obama. I know that he will make a change for the americans and also for those hates him. If i was an american i will have given him my vote 100%. NO question asked. He may be a muslim...so wat? Who are u all to judge....At least he stood up to show that he can make a chnage. To you all who hates him for his skin colour or for what other reason u may have.....SHAME ON YOU.Mr.Obama at least stood up to his nation to give americans like him a chance in this world.
people that have racial hate against Barack Obama you should be really ashamed about your self or even just being a raciest is sad.i am glad Barack is president because he has indicated that he will stop racial hate in America and hopefully the world there is no need for it.i had to do a biography on Barack and he is a amazing person achived so much in his life time it is amazing to think that a person that grew up with out his father and being raised by his grandparents who wernt well off with money that he went to the best prep school in Hawaii.i am a 15 year old boy living in australia and i am proud to say that i am 100% with Barack and his changes to the world and the American Nation. I would like to think that i could do some of the things that Barack has done in his life and achieve as many things as he has. to Barack and his family good luck on your journy.Barack you will serve you country well in the changes you will make and the influnce on the world you have and i am looking forward to reading about the changes to the nation you will have.Good luck and enjoy it.=]
I think you all need to get over yourselves. He is the president now and there is nothing any of you can do about it. Go ahead...try to kill him but I am pretty sure with all his security gaurds none of you will get through to him. So, stop living in your fantisy worlds and deal with the present and the future. At least he has the balls to be President...whi ch im sure isnt a very easy job. How bout all of you that think he is such a shitty President give it a shot. I bet none of you guys would make it. Aint none of you better than him. And for all of you who think you know what it means to be a Christian you need to get your facts straight. And yes I realize im not a very good Christian cussing on here, and I never claimed to be. But you want to sit here and talk about how bad of a Christian he is, well you aint to good of one yourself. Talking crap about the President of the United States just cause hes African-America n or cause hes supposivly Muslim. Im sure God doesn't judge him for that. And you deffinatly dont have the right to. The only person that has the right to judge is God. Not you Not I Not Barack NOBODY! And if God wasnt happy with the way he is running our Country he would work his magic and make Obama not be our President. So how about you all get over yourselves and move on with your life. Face the fact that he is our president now and theres nothing you can do about it. Thank you for taking your time to read my opinion. Bye
I have a great deal of respect for what you are doing, however, how can you allow a persons life to be destroyed and give no help to him?Rember: this is a promise! The Lord sees everything, it's the little people in life that matter as well.Respectful ly ,your always faithful citizen Ricardo Obando, p.s. If you need help ending this war, just let me know, ill help you do it.
help to my interview to all of you? Is obama a good president even if he is a half american ?
I condem all who use filthy language against the great obama , you should never forget that he is the president , no individual go any right to abuse or use filthy lanuage against high official, I think he would prove to be the bes president among others,without differentiating caste or creed. ............lon g live obama. ,,,long live the world....
Ok, seriously. This is a professional website where the entire Nation is allowed to post comments about what they think about Barack Obama's biography. Not Barack himself. All of you people who are commenting are being rude and racial. If you have nothing to say but racial comments and crude sayings then please take yourself elsewhere. This is a promotional and very professional website. Not a chat room. Take it elsewhere.
I think that Barack Obama is going to be a great president. After all, he is the first black president.
obama is the cools man in the world
you rawk obama luv ya
i like prone some one me plaese
i love sex obama
hi obama
if you want sex come to me bekelcha
Targeting children, born & unbornRichard LandPosted on Jan 28, 2009NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--Just a week into Barack Obama's presidency and we have several tragic reminders that we live in an increasingly anti-child culture, where too many adults ignore society's responsibility to protect children -- both born and unborn -- if it interferes with their adult "preferences" and "choices."Presi dent Obama was the most radically pro-choice candidate of a major party in American history, and during his campaign he pledged to Planned Parenthood' ;s supporters that he would never back down on this issue. Unfortunately, his Jan. 23 executive order overturning the Mexico City Policy may be just the first step in his fulfillment of that campaign pledge to his radical pro-abortion supporters.By a stroke of his pen, American taxpayers' money once again will be used in part to fund abortions that end the lives of our fellow human beings in other countries.A day earlier, in remarks on the 36th anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade decision, Obama reiterated his commitment to protect a "woman's right to choose."More than 50 million babies have been aborted since the Supreme Court's decision in 1973, because at least one parent considered that child too expensive, too embarrassing, too disruptive, too much of a burden or just too inconvenient.An d it is not only the unborn that are being victimized. Even in the face of overwhelming bipartisan congressional action to protect our children from hardcore Internet pornography that corrupts their hearts and souls and steals their innocence, the U.S. Supreme Court declined Jan. 21 to review the Third Circuit Court's decision on the Child Online Protection Act, effectively killing this measure.This Act merely put the same restrictions on protecting children from hardcore material on the Internet that are currently placed on so-called "adult" book and DVD stores, with customers having to prove they are at least 18 years of age to gain entry.Unfortuna tely, the Supreme Court concluded that an adult's supposed "right" to see anything he wants to see online without having to identify himself trumped society's obligation to protect children from corrosive exposure to such spiritual toxic waste. Untold human suffering will be the result of this incredibly wrong decision.Since government has abdicated its responsibility, all reasonable adults must do everything they can to protect the children within their circle of influence from exposure to such spiritually and emotionally damaging material.--30-- Richard Land is president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.

I would like to add also:::....I salute Mr. McCain for the courage to concede from the race..You are a true statesman. Here in our country,,,,even if the candidate lost the race already, they would always say : " I lost because they cheated on the counting"....To some its true but generally,,,,Go d help the Philippines...I pray and still hope that the people in the commission on elections will be guided accordingly by their consciences...
Congratulations to the newly elected President of the United States of America, PRESIDENT BARACH OBAMA. May you will be guided rightfully and I hope and pray that You, as President, and your government will be a role model to our government. I congratulate the federal election commission on how quick you were able to release the results of the poll. Here in the Philippines,,, it takes weeks, months to come up with the results, and sad to say, with fraud!I believe in your sincerity, Sir. And I wish you all the luck. God bless.

well said northman!
I am appalled at some of the ignorant, racist comments posted here. Notabley, most of these postings are composed of misspelled words, incomplete sentences and inaccurate statements, if not outright lies. If the people posting these tirads are the furure of the conservative movement in this country, heaven help the GOP. I am a 56 year old white male from rural Wisconsin, and I proudly worked for and voted for Barack Obama. I voted for him not because he is black, but rather because he thoughtful, well informed and open to other views and the needs of all people, including the world community. To those who claim we are a Christian nation, we are not. Our country was based on concepts that are based not only in Christianity, but in the general concepts of good and justice that are shared by many religions and cultures. I was raised Christian. What I was taught was that Jesus loved all, helped all, without regard to their beliefs or the color of their skin. If you readers who claim to be Christian would review the life of Christ, including His proclaimation that all His followers should treat all people with the same respect and consideration shown Him, perhaps you may wish to reevaluate your very un-Christian positions.
Didn't vote for him. Not racist...just intelligent enough to listen closely to what he says (or doesn't say) when asked direct questions. Any idiot can read a speeh written by someone else and sound highly intelligent when they just have to read from a TelePrompTer. People should REALLY listen to how he avoids answering the hard questions. Listen to how he fumbles for words to answer on the spot questions. He has not fully disclosed his agenda to the American public. He is a "poser" and people will find out soon enough...even the ones who voted for him without giving it serious consideration. Also, I'm REALLY tired of people claiming that people who didn't vote for him are possibly racist. One African-America n said on the radio that he did not vote him either. He didn't agree with his moral values/ethics and didn't want his taxes to be raised. People who voted for him just because he is "black"....now that is racist. First of all, he is not "black". He is bi-racial, yet notvery proud of his white heritage, apparently. Second of all, people should not vote for someone just because of his/her skin color. Third, many people who voted for him were being prejudiced against the other candidates. They said McCain is too old, which is stupid and discriminatory. At least he has more wisdom that a JUNIOR senator! Some didn't want Hillary or Palin because they are women. That is sexist and again, stupid. Furthermore, just because Obama spent a few years in Indonesia as a child and just because he has relatives in Kenya and just because he visited a few countries does not mean he has foreign policy experience. People were criticizing Palin for "lack of experience" but she has more experience than Obama. She is a governor. He is just a JUNIOR senator. Also, he had help from democratice cronies and the liberal media in winning some of his previous elections. Who do you think spent time digging up dirt on other candidates so that a "bad light" would be cast on them and make Obama look like a saint? Wake up people. He is not the "messiah" as some keep referring to him. People will find out soon enough. So, in the meantime, I hope all who voted for him enjoy their short-lived victory.
Barack Obaba is out for a general change and progress. His is not going to fight for the Americans alone. His is strucgling to change the world as a whole. Obaba's polical background is firm and I will stand and hold strong on his policies.He his a great man for the people.Towai FrancisCameroon ian, presently in Tokyo- Japan.
I was currently asked to write an informative speech for class. I came to this web site to find some detailed information on an Intelligent man, who was elected president by all the American people. I was appalled and shocked at some of the comments I saw. So what if the man is an muselm. Who cares that he choses to practice the religions of another. that is the damn problem with the American people now! Have we forgot that this country was built to escape religous persicution, or are we the mindless twits that many countries now perceive us to be. Give the man a chance he can't screw up the country and more that the 43 other christianized, prostant catholics idoits we have already put in charge.
Where do you get your "facts"?? Hilarious! Want news? Go to CNN.com. They have a very good fact checker page, if you don't want to read alot. Get your arguments from reputable news sources not hearsay from hate mongers and bloggers. Anyone can make up conspiracies, and not back them up with verifiable fact. Barack Obama has an impeccable character and has great class, wisdom and moral fortitude. Watts and Keyes are no longer in politics for alot of reasons. Keyes is a Christian separatist now. Watts said that HE MIGHT vote for Barack Obama. This was prior to the election!!!! (though he said he was still undecided and but would not vote for McCain-just to be fair). Neither was considered for the presidency by their party. Revelations calls for signs and a timeline and people have been saying the end is near since Christ died. It doesn't say that any person will usher in the antichrist. None of the signs refer to Barack Obama at all. Your suppositions are ludicrous. HMM? Wonder why?? I could say much more, but I'm a little tired of all of this. Barack Obama is President-elect , with or without your support. However, I am a Christian as well, and I will pray for you young one. Read your bible very, very closely! Fellowship is good and necessary, but man is fallible, imperfect. Create your own personal relationship with God, the Father and with Jesus, the Christ. The claims you are making could be interpreted as sin. "Judge not lest ye be judged".... "Bear not false witness".... "The wicked is snared by the transgression of his (her) lips: but the just shall come out of trouble". "Love your neighbor"...And most importantly---- -"Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not... Even the angels in heaven and the Son don't know. Only the Father knows". ... "But asto that day and the exact time no one knows--not even the angels of heaven ..." Do you presume to know the mind of God???? Got a crystal ball?? All persons must face Him in judgment in the end. Luke 6:42 says "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye"!!!!! .Cleanse your heart and spirit, as yours is the only one you can truly save at this point.....READ YOUR BIBLE, REVIEW YOUR ACTIONS....Then act as Jesus would. I'm done. God Bless.
i didnt vote for Obama. i will not support Obama. he is a lier and a deceiver. his intentions are evil and he will usher in the antichrist wait and see. this is a sad day for america but a day that had to come to bring the end of days and the soon return of jesus christby the way .. slam me for not liking Obama but dont say i am a racist because i would have voted for JC Watts or Alan Keys. both are black and both are men of integrity unlike Obama
Wow!!! It's a new day in America. It is the 21st century. We are moving toward a more intellectual and civil future. One that is all inclusive. Hate and unintelligent discord is to be shunned. Anyone who cannot express his displeasure in a more respectful tone, without grossly unproductive, divisive epithets does himself more of a disservice than anyone he tries, unsuccessfully, to disparage. More laughable, than to be taken seriously.Barac k Obama is our President-elect . He has proven to the most reasonable, thinking persons that he deserves to be where he is. I, myself, am glad that a predominance of the nation and the world is evolved enough not to subscribe to such small mindedness and pettiness. That type of thinking is passe' and is the defensive of those who cannot express themselves in a rational manner, or think past his own misery and limited scope or experience.My suggestion is that, instead of criticizing others so vehemently, that you take alot of time to analyze your own views and unwarranted rage. Where does it come from and why? Better yet, what does it ultimately benefit you in the end?I find that most people who react in such ways-- irrational unfounded rages and who harbor feelings of nonsensical hatred toward people of other ethnicities, do so only to try to gain some feeling of superiority ....out of fear....because they have very low self worth and an unfulfilled life. Moreover, their lives are usually surrounded by persons of the same lowly, pessimistic, mostly uneducated existence. Sad....So do yourself a favor. Take a class or two, get out more, find a better quality of friends, and open yourself up to the experience of what the real world has to offer. You'll never regret it, I promise you.There is so much more to life than hate. There are so many wonderful and enriching relationships that are waiting for you when you embrace other cultures and people different than yourself. You'll learn so much.... and find that there is good and bad in every culture, race, even in families. Yet we all have the same basic needs and desires. What a wonderful country we live in where this is so easily possible, right within our own borders. Race does not matter, only to fools. But since the subject has been broached, here are some facts....If you want to know why Barack Obama is considered black here's a link you should be interested in:en.wi kipedia.org/wik i/One-drop_rule I am multi-racial, mixed with 4 different races, and consider myself a proud African-America n. Yet I love and embrace and learn from everyone. All races, religions and backgrounds. It has enriched my life beyond measure and given me a broader scope and a better, more mature understanding of my country and the world.That being said...Here 9;s something else.In addition, you cannot have it both ways. You cannot claim someone as your own ethnicity only when it suits you.Barack Obama is 1/2 Black on his fathers side (Muslim is a religion, not a race, and his father was born pure Kenyan, brought up Muslim, and became an atheist before Barack III - our president-elect , was born). His mother was White (of English and Irish decent, with a very small amount of American Indian-per his maternal grandmother). He is not 1/16th Black as has been previously stated, he is one half black. Further dilution would come from his mothers side only.The One Drop Rule has been in effect in the United States virtually since this country's inception. Persons with any Black ancestry on either side are considered Black and have been treated as such, always. In addition, they must define themselves as Black whenever giving information for statistical purposes, according to our government.Bara ck Obama has members of his extended family who are other races, including his sister. But his individual genealogy is as stated above. Yet he loves his family all equally, and without prejudice as I do. What a more wonderful place this would be if we all did.Finally, why is it so threatening to some when African Americans exhibit pride in their collective accomplishments ?? It should take nothing away from you, if you feel genuine pride in yourself and where you come from.Our pride in the accomplishments of our community is not to lessen of the pride you should have in yours. Nor is it racism, unless it is used in an attempt belittle or malign another. That's not the case with 99% of the African-America n Community. Like I previously stated, there is good and bad to be found in all groups...We should all have pride in our respective cultures, and strive to respect , share in and learn to understand others. This will alleviate the fear and small mindedness that at many times almost destroyed this, the GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.These are the facts. Get with reality, or sadly, get left behind.Love to all, and God bless us all.
Stop talking about black or white. Who cares? What's important is his policies, and the advisors he has. Obama is a breath of fresh air after George Bush, though whether he'll be able to do anything after Bush has tried to spend his way out of global recession is anyone's guess. LIke it or not, Obama is here for the next four years.
The ones that are on this page saying ugly things about Barack Obama. I hope your lights be the first one to be cut off, your house be the first one to go in foreclosure. You are so blind that you can't see when something good slaps you in the face. I tell you what, since you think that Barack can't be your President...don 't have your hand out when the wealth start falling. Now, if you feel so strongly about Barack not being a good President, go to McCain and ask him to help you stay in your house, keep your lights on, or help you get a better job so you can feed your children. What you need to do is stop looking at the color of a person and look at the heart of a person. Yes Barack is half black, but he could have said at the end of his address after becoming president-elect and said..I'M ONLY GOING TO HELP BLACK FOLKS", but after all the name calling (you are a nigga)...you this and that....he said that you might not have voted for me, you might not think i'm your President, but i'm still going to be your President...bas ially saying i still got your back. I think God it's him and not me because after reading some of the things on this page...i would personally come to you house and put you out....and i'm a save women. But it was God through him that gives him compassion for everybody...eve n the ones that call him nigga. See you got to grow up and get a mind for you self and stop living in your parents mind set. The country is at a low point right now, and anyone white, black, gold, or purple wants to come in and CHANGE the way things are going...i' m all for it. So change your mind set and do your research before you judge a person. I feel Barack loves you just like God loves you. So remember JESUS saves and all that negitively in your bones doesn't mean a thing to Barack, but it's God that you will have to answer to on judgement day. Be Blessed!!!!!!
I am appalled to see there is racism still in America. Blacks are good enough to watch on a movie screens, dribble or throw a ball or even date or marry whites but not to run our country. McCain was a P.O.W that means he got caught. Don't look at that as him being more qualified then Obama. I respect Obama's vision on things. Not because he is black and he is BLACK (if you have any black in you as whites would say you are black) I am tired that when it is convenient for some white americans they use the race card. Whites got Tiger Woods can we at least have Obama? Whites buy our music, eat our food, have sex with our black women and or men, eat at our tables and now got to watch a " Educated Powerful Black Man" run our nation. I will end this by saying, educate yourselves, because if you did you would know the facts: 95% of African Americans, 67% of Latin Americans and 44% of White Americans voted for Obama. So don't be mad at blacks be mad at your white friends that did not tell you they voted for Obama. I think the ignorant comments were made by those that don't know better. If you are a Christian you would know GOD does everything for a reason. Let's all pray for Obama because he has a long rode ahead. A black man still after all these years cleaning up SHIT behind a white man. Bye, Bye BUSH!!! And guess what, you can Bitch all you want but OBAMA is still PRESIDENT!!! LMAO!!
I think it's wonderful we have Obama as President. He is working for the benefit of all, and that's all that matters.
hahahah nevermind i fixed it bitces
I am so ing sick of all you fuc*ing n*ggers voting for Obama because hes black. HES NOT EVEN FULLY BLACK YOU DUMB FUCK ASS BITCHES! anyways; I think McCain should have won.Obama is the fuc*ing anti-Christ, he is going to f*ck up our system like your dads f*cked you in the ass when you were born.im not even racist and im so fu*king sick of going to school and getting into arguments with fuc*ing freshman n**gers that dont even know what the f*ck their fu*king talking about. all they f**king know is that Obama is black and hes going to make change for a-fuc*ing-meric a! and if any of you dumb bitches disagree with me f**k you i dont fuc*ing care; your probably just some poor ass nig*ers that wants a stupid ass ni*ger president to get you some fu*king food stamps

best wishes for chief obama sir , all success for your future.
I thought we were given the eyes to see?! Obviously a lot of us are so blinded with hate that we can't see whatever good that's left. Maybe we should stop and think for a moment. Maybe were black, white or brown, it is not our color that drives us, it is what we do that does. We already have so much hate in this world, do we really need to add more?
Stephanie you are such a racist bitch.Dont judge someone on their religion. Like your religion is something better. U stupid bitch. And for all of you who have a problem with black ppl, u know what if it wasnt for black ppl, Amerika would be nothing and nobody, and take a look around all theose Amerikan girls love getting ed by black guys and arabic guys cause white amerikan guys suck... so shut the up and live with the fact that he is our president.. stupid bitches...
Stephanie you are such a racist bitch.Dont judge someone on their religion. Like your religion is something better. U stupid bitch.
it is unfair to judge someone from his religion.
I don't like Obama because he is muslim and he won't salute to the American flag. He never fought for our country like McCain did. He is inexperienced and unlearned. I think he is the Anti-christ. You shouldn't live in America or especially be the President if you can't salute the American Flag. When the s--- hits the ceiling fan everyone that voted for him will be sorry!!!! Clinton messed up America and Obama is just going to finish the job.
OBAMA HAS NEVER HAD AN AMERiCAN FlAG ON HiM. HE WANT PUT HiS HAND ON HiS CHEST WHEN THE NATiONAl ANTHEM iS SUNG OR WHEN THE PlEDGE OF AllEGENCE iS BEiNG SAiD!

It's scary to read some of these comments. There are too many uneducated, ignorant people voting. Pick up a book or a newspaper and read. There is a cure for stupidity!
what is #039. anybody ?
PEOPLE CAN BE SO RUDETECHNICALLY IF U DUMB FUCKS WHO R RACIST SEE THAT OBAMA IS BLACK AND WHITE AND YALL ARE JUST AFRAID TO SEE HIM SUCCEED BECAUSE YOU THINK A WHITE MAN HAS MORE POWER BUT THRU GODS EYES WE ARE ALL THE SAMEI AM WHITE AND I AM VOTING FOR OBAMA NOT BECAUSE OF SKIN COLOR BUT BECAUSE OF HIS VISION FOR THIS COUNTRY
EXCUSE YOU INCOHERENT RACISTS STUPID PEOPLE OBAMA HAS A WONDERFUL ViSION FOR THIS CoUNTRY! IF YOU THiNK YOU CAN DO A BETTER J0B YOU SHOULD'VE RAN FOR PRESIDENT! DUMB ASSES!
I've heard Obama will not salute when the Pledge of Allegiance is spoken. Is this true???
If I were an American, I would vote for McCain because the USA's a christian country. Yes, he is, but conservative. But he's wise, more experienced and won't make any hash decisions!
LOL It is just so pathetic to see racism and stupidity in grown men and women. OBAMA IS BLACK AND HE WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT BECAUSE THIS ELECTION IS IN GOD'S HANDS. There is nothing you can do to stop it from happening. You can stay angry and miserable when he becomes president as well. You people who claim Obama is evil are descendents of the evil klu klux klan members, portuguese terrorists, and slave masters who have been terrorizing everyone for years. You narrow-minded people teach your children these same racist views from your ancestors. Karma is a bitch though...
GOD HELP AMERICA IF OBAMA WINS, I AM ON GOD'S SIDE, NOT A MAN-WHO HAS SO MANY EVIL PEOPLE SURROUNDING HIM.GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND NO EVIL IN THE WHITE HOUSEVOTE MC CAIN/PALIN.
Arie, you made me sick too! What, aren't you a Christian? What are you then? A Muslim?????
the guy,obama,is a man of the mases.he's got a lot to deliver if given d chance.
I have read, and investigated, listen to interviews, and kept up with Senator Obama, for the past 21 months. I feel he is just, honest, fair, and ingenious for all people. I am voting for Senator Obama because of his great qualifications, he knows, what people under the Middle Class is going through. SENATOR OBAMA, I ASK YOU TO "TEACH ME HOW TO BE A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER." Please. Respectfully,Br enda
Arie, you just made me puke
What is it of your business who paid for his college education? He has one! For all of you who are asking who paid for his college tuition; I have one question for you did you go to college, and for that matter did you graduate from high school? Most of you can not even type, much less from what I can see spell correctly. Before you throw the bible (the greatest book of fiction, there written), why don't you read it yourself, from beginning to end; oh and don't forget the scrolls that most religions don't want you to know exists. Before asking where did he come from-Why don't you research your heritage. Do you know where your People came from? Is it really where you think? Or are you from somewhere that is not on a map? It is not what color you are, but how you treat others. Why do you need free stuff? Somethings come with prices that are not seen. It is so much better when you have worked hard for what you have.For people who throw stones--You should not live in glass houses. I am one for change, we are all human and human nature can be mean and vendictive; but I think we can change. Over come these religions and ideas that are everyone's obsticales that are stopping us from becoming one. We will never succeed in peace with all this gibberish. Put down all your predujice thoughts and actions.Let there be no more kings, queens, or peasants; let there be one. If you not cut us, do we not bleed? That is what is stopping this nation, this world from going forward. "WE" will be our own destroyer--not some antichrist...Pu t down the bible, put down the crosses, put down the guns, knives, thoughts, slanders.If it betters our world.......... ........ Then let there be ............. LIGHT (as you Christians would say?)
OBAMA CABINET MIGHT LOOK LIKE THIS, JESSE JACKSON, ALSHARPTON, KWAME KILPATRICK, MARION BARRY, OJ SIMPSON, MIKE TYSON, MIKE VICK...NOW THATS SCARY!!
vote for obama, black people need more power, more money, more rights, more free stuff like welfare, food stamps, bmw's, cribs.
I hope Obama wins because that guy has change the face of politics in America. He has affected me in so many ways. Here in Nigeria, i hate politics and politicians because they are unintelligent and criminals but with what i ve seen in Obama & Hilary, i must say that i'm impressed. I don't know where and how to do it but i must be like Obama. I can not finish my day and ve a fulfilled day without listening to Obama. I nearly lost my job cos of Obama cos he is a being to learn from. Obama i love you and am ready to die for. Even if you do not win i still want you to be my teacher and my mentor in every facet of life.
i will be voting for him because i think he is better than mcain. we dont need a nother bush in office we need someone new and that is obama!!!!!!!!!
IT DOESNT MATTER WHO WINS, OR WHO DOESNT, THE WORLD ISNT GONNA GET ANY BETTER, THE POOR IS ALWAYS GONNA BE POOR AND THE RICH IS GONNA GET RICHER. SO DONT WASTE YOUR TIME VOTEING!!!!!!!! GOD IS THE ONLY PRESIDENT PRAY
Referring to his campaign about working plan for the shake of ordinary people, his education and practical background, as well as his descent, Obama has been inspring not only US citizens but also people from many part of the world, i.e. from Europe, Africa and Asia. In addition, the fact that during the last some years the US leadership in the world has been decreasing and delusion of sympathy on US from the eyes of world citizens, it is hoped that Obama not only will be the US President, but also be A Charismatic World Leader who can bring peace, tolerance and shelter for world citizens.
I support him because of his youthfulness.
Its your prerogative! I really dont care if you vote for obama! I like a person who is an idealist because they can sway a persons insight to things that are happening aroud them. A great leader must have a charismatic figure, like all the great leader in our history, alexander the great rally his men half around the world, and how did he do that??? by instating to his men great morale. Adolf HItler! His also an idealist, but i didnt like him anyway. what im saying is that, with all that is happening in this country, obama is the only one who can unite the people. American people needs transparency in their government. and most of all they need a leader who can give them hopeeeeee!!!! in the coming years! So why not try the guy named OBAMA! Ü
I'm entertained by all of the bible thumping....goi ng to hell in a handbasket..... .chicken little....the sky is falling......sc ared of their own shadow or afraid something different than them can think above and beyond them. I guess being inferior can be a little scary...huh? Vote Obama!
Obama means graet, that means is a greate man, any time i see him on Tv he takes my attention, his great words, his greate vision not only for America but for the world as a whole. So lets vote for obama then the world will change for better. Am a Sierra Leonean leaving in Sierra Leone. once more i like obama not because his is black man, i have one belief that he will make a difference in the world.
I strongly Barack will make a very good president.
First of all, I would like to say that there are people who don't want to see Barack president simply because of his race. For those thay want to keep throwing out he associates with terrorists, you fail to listen to the facts, you just want to believe that . Some people just say anything and don't have any idea of what they are talking about. It is so sad how prejudice people are. One thing I truly believe is that God is still in control and everything happens for a reason. There is a time and a season for everything. If Obama becomes the next president, then it is his season. For the ones that are prejudice because of the color of a person's skin or thier background, is just plain ignorant and selfish. why do people keep saying "His lack of experience", the one's you consider with experience doesn't seem to make wise decsions. excuses,excuses ,excuses. You just don't want Obama to become president simply because of his race. Yes people are entitled to theit own opinions, but if you are racist that is just what you are, just be real about it, because one thing for sure whats in you will come out, and you can't hide it very well because it is called hate and that is a strong emotion. So let go and let God.
This comments are for those people that have common sense---that� 39;s all it takes. I would like to thank John McCain for serving for our country. My father served in World War II as an infantry man who fought in the snow along hundreds of heroes dying by his side. My father in law fought in the Korean War. My husband and brother served in Vietnam. But they never brag about it because it was their duty. By people daily repeating that he is a hero is not going to help our country get back on its feet. For that nut that stated that if Obama wins we will be doomed. Well, buddy, we have been doomed for the past 8 years. Can you imagine Palin replacing McCain if something were to happen to him---of course, if he would get elected? This is one of the reasons that I am voting for Obama. Besides he is the only person that can help us become once again--the most powerful and respected country in the world. So for all of you that are just plain ignorant and prejudice, get off your high horse and vote for Obama if you have a brain. McCain can still help him as a staff member--but he has to learn how to be around poor and middle class people.
You people for Obama are all nuts!! Wake up people. Read the Bible and then decide if you are going to vote for him. If he wins, we are all doomed - it's doom's day!!!!!!!!!!
I can see there are a lot of differing opinions out there concerning the election. I have heard people on both sides raising their candidate above the other. Several are saying they'll vote for the "Black" guy or the "White" guy. Or they have used several derogatory words to describe one another. Don't let race or religion be your determining factor. In the Constitution it specifically calls for a separation of Church and State. also, nowhere in there does it say you have to be any specific color either. The only requirements are to be 35 years old or older and a Natural born American citizen. Barack Obama has come to political power quite recently and has not established a record of a lengthy time in order to disclaim himself. John McCain has been in politics for approximately 30 years, giving him an extensive record of service in the U.S. Senate. Both men have been well educated, McCain at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. and went on to serve for the US Navy during the Vietnam conflict. Obama started out in community college in Los Angeles, Ca eventually moving to Harvard Law School. Check out for yourself what each candidate has accomplished. Do not vote for race or because of the MEDIA. They have shown an exxagerated bias throughout all of this. I'm personally voting for John McCain because he has bled for this country and has put his life on the line to protect the principles and values that have made this country the greatest nation in the world. When Nov 4 comes around think about that. I do wish a great deal of luck to whoever wins the election because they will surely need it.
it is unfortunate that people throw in the race card at obama ,instead fo listining to this incredible and interlgent young man. i think he will make a great president.
Obama is half white and half black. I am half American Indian and white. I look white and am and speek of my Indian heritage. Obama looks black and speeks of his black heritage. My Great Grand Father Chief Sitting Bull would say half breed is truth. Other guy speek with truth. 1/2 Breed
well i think the WHITE house is called the white house for a reason and if obama is picked blacks will just get even MORE rights! oh and by the way, he says he's a christian and all but the whole gay and lesbian marriage thing is a sin!!!! Finally abortion is wrong! thats killing a human that you made so if you don't want them don't make em'!!!!!!! !!
November 3rd has been marked the worlwide day to fast and pray for Barack Obama between noon and 1:oopm; giving up one meal for the day. Instead of eating, pray for the following three things:1. Pray for the Hand of God to move in a mighty way over this election2. Pray that this election will be handled in a fair and honest manner in a way that pleases God3. Pray for the protection of Obama and his familyIf you are on medication and have to eat something during that time, ask God to speak to your heart and tell you what to give up.Mark your calendars for November 3rd for ALL OBAMA SUPPORTERS.OBAM A FOR US PRESIDENCY NOVEMBER 4. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OO OBAMA TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
What has muslim religion got to do with the presidency of Obama. Our ecenomy is batered. The surpluses made by Clington has been wasted. Obama is the only person to build on our batered economy and make us proud one more of being Americans. Guys let us use our heads in thinking who the next US president is. Bravo Obama Bravo America. Come November 4, we are taking you to the White House. Vote for Obama for better America.
He carrys the smile the youths need, He is young and has vigor, He has the power to carry youths along. I will be voting for him becuase I believe in him, he can deliver.
Although I am concerned with Obama's lack of experiece in the political ring, part of me is asking "could this be a good thing?" I have watched many good people become corrupt in the polical "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" venue. What it really boils down to though is the simple fact that 8 years ago I had a decent life with only minor worries. I am a 50 year old hardworking American and I am scared to death that I may never be able to retire. I am afraid that I may have no or minimal health benefits as a senior citizen. My parents are already struggling, what is in store for my children?All I know is that we need change. I know nothing monumental can happen in four years, but we need someone to make a start.It is time to start taking care of our own. No more wars with countries that are not attacking us. No more immigration until we can take of American born citizens and their children. Disaster relief is one thing, but it must be reciprocated. I watched my sisters family, both ex military lose everything after Katrina and no one helped them. Is this the America I was raised to believe in? No! We need change!
Would like to know how Mr. Obama's higher education at Columbia and Harvard was paid.
Obama is da man, with a serious plan-for ecomonics change and growth, suck on that you damn caribou barie
i would like to vote for obama i think he's amazing candidate to be the next president of america, i believe he make it hi.... mr Obama you are the winner n the best choice for all , im sure He is the one n im really vote for Mr Obama.GO....GO. ...GO.... OBAMA.!!
Well, I have to agree with Scott. He has a lot of good points...it 9;s not about race or religion. But I do think Obama is the best choice for our country.
With the election this close people need to put their priorities at the fore front. The reason that our parents, and our parent's parents, and yes even we choose to live in this great nation is the fact that this is a democracy. Bigoted uninformed views have no place at the polls. It has been brought up countless times in this forum that many people think that Barack Obama interacts with those of the Muslim faith. Some people imply, though he has been a practicing Christian for many years, that he is Muslim in faith. I have to ask everyone a question: Why does a religion matter when it is extremist groups that we as a nation are fighting against? There are extremist groups in all religions, be they Catholic, Lutheran, Jewish, Mormon, or anything else for that matter. We were attacked as a nation, yes, but Muslims are not to blame, people are to blame for those actions, regardless of what they believe. If Barack Obama does infact believe in the tenents of the Muslim faith, that is his right as an American, just as much as it is anyone else's right to be Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran, Mormon, or Muslim. Some people say that he is linked to terrorists within this nation. What I have to ask is, what proof is there? There is hearsay. The fact that something was in his past, over 15 years ago, means that the man is trying to move on, and move past someone that he knew and is trying to disassociate himself with that person. This is not incriminating definitive evidence, this is mudslinging. Now that those things have been said, I am going to be torn apart by those McCain Supporters. But I have no problem with the man. What people voting in this election must look at is not Religion(One of our greatest and most beloved presidents was JFK, which at the time the fact that he was Catholic made people uncomfortable, which to many of us now seems ridiculous). We should look at facts and look at policy. The presidential candidate who is most in line with our own belief system. I do not begrudge anyone who votes for McCain, if they do it for the right reasons. As for me, I will stand up and help champion Obama. I believe that the man will do the best job that he can, and fight for the things that I believe need to happen in this great nation. So to everyone who reads this I challenge them to stop looking at things in terms of Race, or religion. Start looking at the world in terms of idea's and actions. Most of all, we live in a democracy, unless you go out and vote you have no right to complain if things don't go your way. In my opinion the only ones who have a right to complain are those who are under the legal voting age, and those who cast their ballots in November. All that we have to go on as a nation is the facts and who we believe will do the better job for the four years that they are in office. So America, go vote for who you believe in.

C.H.A.N.G.E.COM E HELPANIGGAGETEL ECTED
Could post several things but here is one thing to think about. If Obama is going to raise taxes on large corporations, let's say Mattel toys, how will they make up this increase? They'll charge more for their toys! They won't pay the taxes. YOU WILL! Also, if their taxes are higher in the good old USA, they'll go to a foreign country to get the cheaper taxes, taking YOUR jobs with them. Obama's tax breaks 'sound 9; good, but in reality, you will be paying more for your goods and services, even plumbers!
november 4th is my biethday and i would definrtly like too see Barack Obama as our president. Mccain ur old and wrinkly and i dont c ur point. u and sarah palin are juss as rasisct as old of those old people who are crippled and cant even spell cat. So if u dont want america to be run by senior citizens vote obama babii!!!!!!!!!! !! yeah boiiiiiiii
All you should just cut the crap. This man is an American citizen; his mother worked for American Embassy (means she had security clearances up the kazoo, as well as all those who accompanied her). He is entitled to run for President. I haven't faintest idea what color he is and could care less. I am seriously considering voting for him. And, by the way, I am a 10th generation American and a Southerner.
Y'all must be very uninformed, or you put WAY TOO MUCH trust in propaganda emails that you recieve. I am a SC Independent who is voting FOR BARAK OBAMA. I don't believe he is a muslim....I'm also a JEW. I would never vote for someone who represents ISLAMIC JIHAD or ANY EXTREMISM. Mr. Obama stands for juda-christian beliefs. He is honest. He was open and honest about his history in his book, published BEFORE he ran for president....RE AD IT. Barak Obama is new, young, and different....an d that SCARES YOU. He will be the president that can stand for the "REAL AMERICA"...a nation created on the EQUALITY of ALL PEOPLE and RELIGIOUS FREEDOM....or did you forget that?
Where did Mr. Obama get his money to attend prestigious schools and colleges?
This message is directed to the comment below about Barack's former affiliation with Muslims and their assertations of Christianity. First I find your comments to be completely hypocritical of what being Christ-like means. In your comment you stated that "My God, the One and Only True God, tells me to love one another and help them see the light so that they can JOIN me in heaven..." The bible also teaches us not to judge and that people can change- God is the perfect change agent. So for you to encourage others not to vote for someone based on their former affliliations means you do not truly believe in the power of God. He is omnipotent. He has all power. If this is how you feel, you as a Christian should be praying for his salvation so that he can "join you in heaven" and not condemning him for being apart of a religion you say people are "forced" into. Finally, you should remember that the word says, "judge not lest ye also be judged." You should also read up on the truth behind the 9/11 attacks and who was the primary orchestrator of those events.
Barack Obama is a once Muslim. No matter how long or when it was. They funded the whole 9-11 attack. Not Bush...the Islamic nation. If you people cant see that then you are stupid. Obama was a part of the Muslim Brotherhood which funded the 9-11 terrorist attack. They paid to bring the pilots here, they paid for their training, they even taught them how to pass security to enter into the planes at the airports. HELLO!!! Black or not, that is NOT the issue here. Muslims believe that they have to kill any infidel (any non-believer) in order to have a place in heaven. Many of them go to other churches as a means of buffaloing the public into believing that they are anything but Muslim (Obama). They are not stupid. But we are for believing that for one second if we elect a "former" Muslim into office it would fix everything and bring peace. In fact, it would be the opposite. Do you people want to live like they do in the Middle East? I don't!!! They are forced into Islamic beliefs. They have no choice. I like my freedom of choice don't you? Besides if they are taught to kill what makes you think that you may not be next? My God, the One and Only True God, tells me to love one another and help them see the light so that they can JOIN me in heaven, not kill one another to secure my place in heaven. Anyone who knows God knows that love is the answer, not war. Anyone who knows anything about the Islamic religion knows that they have declared a holy war (jihad) against any "infidel". So if you are an "infidel" I wouldn't be voting for your killer. I'd vote for one who was sincere about maintaining peace. I understand that seeing our loved ones go off to war is not a pleasant experience. I know, I'm living it. However, I do go to sleep in peace every night knowing that my freedoms are being protected. I do a lot of praying for the Islamic nation, the Muslims of the World, and our soldiers fighting for us. I know that my God will prevail!!!!! Osama will be found, and probably found right here in the US. Keep your eyes open, your hearts open to God and join me in praying that the Islamic Nation and the Muslims in this World would see the light of our Lord Jesus Christ and stop the violence. And whatever you do DO NOT VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!!!
Now I get it. No wonder my family never entered politics. We are Azores Portuguese, Scots-Irish potato serfs, Sac and Fox, Cherokee, English, French, and bastardized Black. That explains everything. No matter that we have pioneers, Ellis Island immigrants, dirt farmers, whalers, gold camp tailors. No matter that this country was built on our backs. We are just not American enough. Like my good friend who is also a fourth generation Californian and whose ancestors are Chinese. Have you ever wondered where all those railroad tracks came from?

Perhaps Obama should run as a mutt {a mixture of several breeds} and not only a BLACK canidate. Afterall he is african, caucasian and indian. Most Americans are mix breeds, so he could simply run as an American.Race is not the issue, it is our nation.
I would like to know how mr.Obama can run as a black president, when he is part white,and part indian,
Hey; Hot Sauce.your a radical idiot.think about it honestly.we have KKK in the US.does that mean all americans are white supremasict?we have rednecks in the south; but are we all?So why cant we have barrack as our president.he has beliefs and the freedom to them as expressed by the constitution so he should have to pay for his parents beliefs and bakcgrounds??
Why does everything have to be about race and ethnicity. Who cares that Obama is black? Worry about his stance on issues, his experience, and his goals. I feel like some people want to vote for him only because it would be "cool" to have a "black" president. This nation would be so much stronger if idiots would stop saying that. Yes, I think it would show growth of our nation to elect an african american to the highest office, but lets not make that the issue. Instead, lets vote for the most QUALIFIED. Qualifications have seemed to side step this campaign, instead it is race and gender driven. Think about our country and what's best for it. On another note, is having a once muslim (I don't care for how long) man best for us? Hell no! What I do know is that we are at war. Like it or not, we are. Like it or not, terrorism came and invaded us. They attacked us first. What is with you uneducated people saying that Bush did all this. Last time I checked, planes crashed into our buildings, and President Bush WAS NOT the pilot!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
It's a lot of really mixed up people out here! First of all if you are one of the people that actually think that Islamic people had anything to do with the 911 thing , then you really don't have a clue except what the media tells you or what you think happened. Bush lied, cheated, and stole to get elected. Then he set out to get more by his own selfishness and ambushed New York and etc. to get what he wanted >OIL! His whole family own some of the biggest oil wells there are, but yet he is so greedy that he killed for more. Now we all know "D" well as advanced as technology is especially with aviation that no planes we high jacked and flew into buildings by terroists. The only terroist is BUSH! He is the son of the anti-christ who is here to seek and destroy as it says in revelations trying to turn nation against nation. The people over there can't afford the basics, but yet they supposedly had mass weapons of destruction...the where are they?? Bush is the MASS WEAPON! Then how conveniently Bin Laden can't be found. Any other as they say minority did something and all it would take would be the local police and would be caught the same day. Bush says he got all these people looking for one man, but can't find him...anyways...go figure! You go BARACK OBAMA! The world just don't know what to do with a REAL BLACK MAN...intelligent and all running for president! Ask yourself this last question who benefiting from all the bullcrap that's been going on since Bush went into office? The same that was benefiting when his daddy was in office..nobody but the BUSH family. Why you think he don't care about the economy, how many dying in the war, or how long it goes unresolved? I bet his family nor him suffers for anything. Now can you say the same? We all living from paycheck to paycheck and his wife spending billions on flowers, china, and etc. Peace out and wake up "WORLD OF REALITY BLINDNESS"!!!
I believe if Mr. Obama is elected as President of the USA the world would become peaceful. This is because Mr. Obama has a unique root. He has emotional bond with africa, with Indonesia and with Islam. Unlike Bush, Mr. Obama has no hateness to Islam and this would end the hateness of US government towards Islam. Mr. Obama would become the great man who wouls stand in the middle of many interests. If I were American I would vote for him.
OK let me think like a Democrat:My candidate won't place his hand over his heart as protocol provides while the Anthem is played - YES!!!!!My candidate belongs to a church that pledges it's allegiance to Africa - YES!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!My candidate has roots in Islam with Muslim heritage; we're at war with Muslims - YES!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My candidate is a junior senator with little political experience and has never been responsible for anything of any consequence - YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!My candidate has no experience with foreign policy - YES!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!My candidate has never served in the military - YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!My candidate comes from Illinois, one of the most politically corrupt areas of the nation - YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!My candidate has many sot ideas - YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!My candidate is completely unqualified for the job - YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!I 'M VOTING FOR HIM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
I think it's great how there are so many people that think Hussein Obama will do such a great job. After his father passed, his mother married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. Why is Obama so quick to say that he was muslim only for a short period of time, then attended a catholic school, why does he try to veer away from his terrorist background? Personally, I don't want a man or terrorist who can't even be sworn in on the Holy Boble but swears on the Kuran. He won't salute the flag or pledge allegiance to it. How does this knucklehead think that he will ever get in office? I'm not taking anything away from his education though, the man is brilliant. But nobody said that these terrorists weren't educated or not intelligent. What better way to terrorize Americans then be at the top of the food chain? So you go ahead and vote your terrorist in office, hats off to all of you. You are all supporting terrorism, good job folks.
Did anyone watch the debate tonight? I think I may have to change my mind on this election. I see all of my party wants to bring the troops out of Iraq "NOW" The young men and women who are serving in Iraq are doing it because they want to. They volunteered to fight for this country..To pull them out is to lose the war!! What a slap in the face for all those who have died and those that are fighting now.. This would be a real tragedy to not let them complete the mission they believe in.. I think the vote in South Carolina this weekend will be a toss up but I think the vote in November from South Carolina will go to the Republican candidate.. South Carolina has a lot of military who believe in this war and what they are fighting for.. To elect a president that will in some way make these folks come home and have the rest of the World tell us we lost the war is not going to set to well with our Military..
I'am still up in the air who should I vote for, my only problem with Mr. Obama, is his experience, will he be able to deal with all of mess that the republican's have left in the white house, some times the new president wants to make changes and can't because of a promise made by the previous president.
I have been given info he is tied closely with luis (faraquan) who is extremely racist and believes the races should not work together nor mix. I am an older person and have never seen color except when it is pointed out. Color has nothing to do with a persons abilities nor rights. I would like to be assured that Mr. Obama, obviously of mixed races, does not consider himself a "black" person but rather an American who wishes to serve all amerikcans equally.
Wow, when I was 16, I can remember a young Catholic Man running for President. The religious right was up in arms over this, they thought the POpe would surely be telling John F Kenedy what to do. Well 47 years later ,we are seeing it all over. Instead of Vietnam you have Iraq. Instead of Catholic you have Muslim and guess what the common denominator is for both decades.? Oil. Yep, next we will see Yuppies and hippies and people protesting. Instead of a demorcrate in office we have a republican . At the end we go to a Republican Nixon so maybe we will have a democrat end this, Now can someone tell me where Woodstock will be held?
While I'm still not sure of whom I will vote, I'm getting tired of people putting out e-mails with only 5% truths. I served in Vietnam and while I think it is terrible to see people burn the flag, etc. I fought in a war so people could be free to express themselves as they see fit. One shows their allegiance in many ways, not having your hand over your heart does not mean you are a rebel. If you continue to listen to scare tactics, you will be miss lead and should go back into your little hole. Get real America, take these emails for what they are worth and please do your own research on who you are considerring for office. It takes 10 minutes to do a little research and with the internet it is easy. So log on and see. "my question is are we better today than yesterday? If you can answer that yes, than so be it. Make sure you take everything into account. Education, Taxes, Health care, prices and employment. , these are things I want to see addressed, yes my safety is very important but do we really think this great country would allow for a terrorist person to lead us and if one is elected, don't we think they would not stay in office for long? If Bill can be censored for sex, I'm sure someone who threatens our National security will be impeached.
I won't Barack to state in public what religion he is and tell us why he doesn't pledge allegiance and why he used the Koran to be sworn in as senator. Also, I really don't want a president with the middle name of Hussein. I don't care what kind of changes he has promised. He will be just like the rest. Once they get in office they realize they can't make those changes like they thought. I hope Oprah has really checked Obama out. Some of her guest have come back to haunt her.
Ok Cliff..I feel much safer now that you have explained that to me.. I was just afraid there might be a terrorist connection but you have assured me its Bushs fault so I guess then we are safe.. Right?
It is not Muslims who are destroying us from within. It is we ourselves who are destroying ourselves. The most egregious case of this is the war in Iraq. We have done nothing more than weaken our nation, both militarily and economically, and strengthened the hands of our enemies. How much of that $100/barrel oil do you suppose trickles down into the hands of terrorists? Ask this: why, why, why was there this big push for war? Who stood to benefit and who is benefitting now? Pure and simple, it is a special interest war which sacrificed the national interest. I trust Barack Obama before I trust Bush/Cheney and all their croneys. Anybody who uses fear as a tool to manipulate the electorate and further their pursuit of power, cannot be trusted. As far as the pledge of aliegance, Mr. Obama has recited this while presiding over the Senate. It's on You Tube.
So Veroncia is your thought that we should just wait and find out when he is President to "see" if he has friends/relativ es that are Islam.. I agree not all are bad but I also think we let a bunch in that blew up New York City and they ALL had good clearance to come in.Why not check this out now..Its better to be safe then sorry and once you have the reins of the US Government in your hands you can pretty much do as you want.. We don't need another inside job in this country.. better safe then sorry..
I noticed that during an event where all candidates turned to pledge the flag and honor the Nation Anthem that Obama was the only one who did NOT put his hand over his heart. I saw this
What I would like to see is the ISLAMIC COMMUNITY LEAVING IN THE USA GO UP IN ARMS AND CONDEM THE EXTREMIST MUSLIMS TERRORISTAS FOR THE KILLING WITH BOMBS TO INNOCENTS CIVILIANS. I WANT TO SEE IN THIS COUNTRY THE ISLAMIC PEACE LOVING PEOPLE TO GO ON THE STREET AND DEMOSTRATE TO THE ISLAMIC WORLD THEY DO NOT ACCEPT TERRORISM...... .THEY ARE SAFE HERE IN THE USA...SO DO NOT GIVE ME " THEY ARE AFRAID TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES BECAUSE OF BEING PROSECUTED BY THE ISLAMIC WORLD IF THEY PROTEST. ONCE I SEE THEM DOING DEMOSTRATIONS AGAINST TERRORISM THEN......I WILL BELIEVE EN PEACEFUL ISLAMIC PEOPLE.
Please note, not all muslims are terrorists. A greater percentage of muslims in the world are peace loving . Pity the Al quida extremists are making us all wary but the truth is that stereotying muslims is a form of bigotry. Some Christians rape, kill, That does not make all Christians murderers, some people neither Christian nor muslim, commit heinous acts like Oklahoma bombing.It is better that all Americans pray And ask God for mercy for all the terrible perversions in this country. By the grace of God, and the attention that goverment now pays to terorism, The real terrorists would soon all be CAPTURED Let us not create new enemies by attacking everything MUSLIM,. especially those so remote to even begin to matter, like half brothers/ sisters to Barrack Obama whose Dad left when he was only 2 years old!!!!
Marissa,Just tried going to the link you provided. It doesn't work. Did you type it in correctly?
Can someone please tell me about Obamas half brothers that are muslin ie: his fathers other kids? Has he had contact with them? Are they terrorists? or in those type organizations? These things are important and will come out before Nov 2008..
Steve Monroe: no, it's not true, read this article please:w ww.timesonline. co.uk/tol/news/ world/us_and_am ericas/us_elect ions/article319 4740.ece and anyone else who has confusion with Obama's religious affiliations, which are NOT what we as citizens should be focusing on.
Is it true? I have heard and read stories, that Obama, will not say the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, (American flag). That he will not salute the American flag, that he swore in as a U.S. Senator his oath, not on the Holy Bible, but the Muslim Koran. Is he paid with U.S. currency for his service to the U.S. as Senator of Illinois? U.S. currency has the imprint "In GOD We Trust" on ALL denominations. How does he feel about that? Can the President of the U.S., the Commander In Chief of the nations and worlds most powerful military be trusted, believed, and faithfully followed if he will not recognize and RESPECTFULLY ACKNOWLEDGE the U.S. flag?! What am I supposed to think about his candidacy if any of this is true?! His speeches are good, his presence and delivery are fine, all of it is nothing more then hyperbole if he has no respect for the Flag of our Fathers, and the Holy Bible ALL other Presidents have sworn in on!! Of course, all other politicians could never ask these questions without being rebuffed as petty and petulent. Once again, TRUTHFULLY answer these questions. Is there something to HIDE or not?! Let the voters tell and show you if any of these issues are significant enough to hinder Obama's election to the most powerful leadership position on the planet Earth.
That was a very "lenghty" Thank you for the assist!!
Glenda, to answer your question how can Obama be considered an African American if his mother is white. Have you ever heard of Kenya? It's in Africa. That is where his father is from, and in case you weren't aware a person gets 1/2 of their genes from their father...guess that makes him 1/2 African American, 1/2 European American (probably) It's all so confusing, isn't it??
Obama was born to a father who was Muslim, but converted to atheism. His mother did not practice religion, but according to Obama, she was very spiritual. I personally don't care what religion he has chosen for himself, I'll vote for him. It's so refreshing to have a candidate that has more to them then just being a politician. I think he even admits to inhaling. He's done well for himself, and he did it himself, he's living proof of the American dream...yet I think he understands that not all Americans have been as fortunate with their lives. VOTE OBAMA P.S. I'm a registered Republican and this will be the first time I ever cast a vote for a Democrat.
For those morons in this thread who continue to spread the LIE that Senator Barack Obama is Muslim - CNN debunked it LAST YEAR:www .cnn.com/2007/P OLITICS/01/22/o bama.madrassa/F or Molly:As I am assuming you have some problem with the "About" section of his Church - a) as the Church clearly states it is "unapologetical ly Christian", you obviously must be an Athiest, b) you are obviously against "biblical education", "cultural education", "liberation" and "economic parity", and c) if you have a problem with a church that has a substantial African-America n congregation - a church, mind you, that Senator Obama attended while working to keep inner-city youth off the streets, and in school, and organized voter registration - after he turned down a lucrative position on the faculty of Harvard Law School (where he was president of the Harvard Law Review, and taught Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago) - I can only assume that you have some serious problems. Question: do you attack any other candidates because they go to churches that are predominately white? The Experience issue: The Senator has MORE experience than Hillary Clinton. He has been a US senator for 4 yrs. compared to her 7yrs., BUT she held NO publicly elected office before this. On the other hand, Obama was a State senator for 8 years, and ran for Congress as well. So, case closed on that little distortion of the truth.But hey, thanks for playing. People, thank God, are smarter than you think they are - which is why the Senator is going to win.Barack Obama is that rare person that comes at the right time in history to move a country forward. Kennedy was one. Lincoln was one. Obama is ours, in this time, now. To not vote for him would be to deny ourselves the best of what America can produce in a leader.And for those of you who actually use his NAME to disparage him - his middle name having been passed down from his Kenyan father and grandfather (who fought in World War 2, by the way) it's pathetic, and says more about you than I dare to say.Look up the Senator's record. Read it. Go to BarackObama.com , and read his economic stimulus plan, his technology and innovation plan, his plan on Iraq, his health care plan, etc. His economic stimulus plan (which puts $5 billion more into the economy than any other candidate btw.)It is well-known that members of other campaigns post comments on other candidate's websites to drop lies and propaganda. Do not believe the negative comments you read here. Look up his public record for yourself - think for yourself - and vote.
Has anybody gone to his church's website? Go check it out it is quite an interesting read. Check out the "about us" section.
I think en. Barack OBAMA is the great chance for Areica and he should be a great leader From human right to Darfur I think you should consider this guy very seriously I am not American I am french but if I will be in USA for this election I really think this guy is great Vive l'Amerique Now You have great chance to prove America is great place In change we believe YES YOU CAN Go Obama France support you too
Why is Barack Obama considered African American when his mother was white?
Why does none of his bio's ever say what small town in Kansas his mother was from. There are many small towns in Kansas and as a Kansa I want to know.
What about Barocka's parents strong links to radical muslim groups? Was he not brought up muslim untill he was a teenager. How does he feel about the radical muslim groups at this point
So Will, I guess you also voted for G.W. Bush and believed Iraq should be attacked because of the non-existent WMD's. With all the chaos and threats against the USA, I must ask: Why are they so angry with US? What did we do to piss them off so bad? When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the US retaliated with WMD's (2 of them). We bombed our true enemy, however it seems things have changed considerably since 2003. Will are you afraid like I was as a kid, thinking that Russia was going to bomb us because we were not communist? Barack Obama in my mind is a refreshing change from the norm in the USA. Understanding that America did not begin enslaving people, it was a place of opportunity for all (equally). Barack being a Constitutional Professor surely understands the document and what it means to all the young students he has taught. A circle will always take you to the point of origin, that same circle can become like a tornato narrow at the bottom expanding upward to a large slower cycle to the possibility of freedom from a narrow fast spinning demise.
How can we consider putting him in the running? I want a man who is 100% in his right mind who will take it seriously. Not someone who spent his formiddable years doing drugs and trying to escape his reality. A leader in this position must never have denied facing his quandries, no matter how meek. This America needs a strong, and avid leader who answers to the needs of the citizens, not the congressional leaders and media. In a reminder, the Muslims did indeed to state they will destroy us from the inside out. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE MUSLIM WORLD. They very likely have many soldiers trained from birth to deceive and live the altered life until their time has come. By living and training so many, their success is only a matter of time before one or just a few slip into the system. The cancer will spread, and it will attack vital organs, and time becomes short until destruction at the core of our lives. We cannot put this man in there...even his distant ties will find a way to link into the system...they use our own against us.
Obama keep going running for president. I read and saw your picture with your classmates when studied elementary public school in Jakarta on Indonesian news paper. I belief you will change the Ameiracans in better place for the world and humankind
Niyoka you must be very young.
I am persuaded by Sen. Obama's messages on most issues,but not clear on his stand on homosexuality . If he claims to be a Christian, Is he going to strive for gay marriages in America? He's the only candidate that opposes the band on gay marriage. So what's up? I'm not ready for a president that is going to push lifestyle issues after elected. I would like Mr. Obama to provide some clarity on his plans for support or non support of gay marriages. Where will he stand if he's elected?
To say that ones religious beliefs are not important when they are running for the job that puts me , my loved ones and my countries lives in thier hands is an ignorant statement. We live in a country where you can believe what ever you want. And right now our sons are dying to keep it that way. Remember , where were the men taught to fly airplanes for the Sept. 11th attack! Right here in America. And the men who were born and raised in England , not Iraq, were ready to kill non Muslim innocent people for the sake of Islam. I don't know if Obama is really muslim or Christian. I am old enough however to know this a scary situation for America .What better way to overtake a country than to be it's greatest leader and have all the inside information and deliver it to our greatest enemy. Study Islam. They HATE America and it is thier job to wipe us out. Just think it over really hard. This is not a skin color issue. I would love to see an African American or an African be a great American leader. As long as he is not a wolf in sheeps clothing. I pray this is not the case. He is a great speaker and I like what he says.But I am surely afraid of the connection with Islam. And it is a BIG deal that he does not put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem.That shows disrespect for the country he wants to be President of. Too many out of place things.
So what Obama did not put his hands over his heart, he ain't the only 1 that doesn't and surely won't be the last, everybody pays their respect in a different way, he wasn't talking thru the national anthem at least. We are supposed to be united not being against people in our own country, that's what you called being NEGATIVE. Obama is who we need and he is POSITIVE and that's a fact.
Do any of you wonder why Obama refused to place his hand over his heart while the Anthem was playing, or doesn't wear a flag pin in his lapel as is customary? (Check it out on snopes.com and you'll see the entire video. )Wake up America before its too late.Oh yes, caseman - learn a little about the teachings of Islam before you dismiss religion as irrelevant. It might come as quite a shock to you.
Enough already! Why the obsession with Obama's religious beliefs? The man is running for president, not pope! Religion is the one issue that is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT!!! So let's talk about issues that DO matter....like healthcare reform, social security, America's embarrassing and crippling dependency on foreign oil, etc. etc. I recommend everyone check out Obama's official website, as well as those of his opponents, both democrat and republican. You will see that Obama actually addresses the important issues and offers ideas and solutions. All the others simply drone on about all the great things their candidate has accomplished and spew forth generic drivel such as "tax cuts for everyone" and "when I'm president I'll create jobs, fix the healthcare problem and end the war"... without explaining how they intend to accomplish these things. Obama is what America needs, not more of the same old party line we hear from all the other candidates.
First of all Barack Obama is not a muslim but a christian and this is coming from an African who lives in Africa but follows world politics quite closely...Ameri cans learn more about your leaders!!!!Seco ndly he is an articulate intelligent young man, whether christian or muslim he is a great leader and is way too exposed to jeopardise the country he loves so much for religion!!!Char acter, maturity amd intelligence are far more important than ones religious affiliations... .
Ron Scott GET THE FACTS! GET SOME THERAPY!! GET SOME EDUCATION .
My apologies Frank....I meant Ron Scott, who is surely as we speak cleaning his assault rifle and quoting bible verses to somebody
Hey Frank, get a clue. We, as Americans, are voting for people, not religions. Does anyone remember the idea of church and state being separate? Apparently not, or the issue of whether Obama is Christian or Muslim wouldn't even be an issue. I hope the rest of America isn't as narrow-minded and prejudiced as you are.
Obama was brought up by a Muslim extremist. He prayed as a Muslim. He is a Muslim. A vote for Obama is a vote for Bin Ladin.
I really agree with everything Kyle said.Even if he were a Muslim, it doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't vote for him. He can be Atheist for all I care. What matters is what his philosophies and beliefs are for being a good president. And honestly, Muslims aren't that bad at all. From my experiences, they're the nicest group of people I've met. So Barbara, tell your friends to get over themselves, and they can think whatever they want. Because if they're ignorant enough to solely not vote for someone because of their religion, then they don't deserve to get the answer to that question.
Please Please get more information out about Mr. Obama NOT being affilated with the Muslim faith. A large circle of people I know think that he is a member of the Muslim faith. and won't vote for him because of this. I feel people need to be informed correctly.Thank you Mrs. Terry O'Brien
Senator Obama is NOT a muslem. He is a member of a Church of Christ church in Chicago. He mentions his faith at times during his campaign and he is the most inspiring speaker, regardless of religion, running for president. It is a long way to November, 2008, and I am among the many undecideds. I, as many of you, try to find things to elimate candidates from consideration. Certainly, if you don't think Senator Obama is the best choice, that's your prerogative, but if you're sole reason for not voting for him is you think he is a muslem, then you need to reconsider.
I'd like to reply to Frank's comment. First off, "Useing" isnt a word.. Second why even compare Obama to Clinton? This page is a biography of Obama meant to be informative, there were no comparisons involved. Second, The fact that he is Muslim does not disqualify him from being president...its his choice, and as such he cannot be persecuted for it. Are you saying that all Presidents/Pres idential Candidates should be christian? That is just Ludicrous
Well for one thing he can stop useing the republican technechs of useing the trust issue against Hillary clinton, what has she ever done to make him or anyone else to misstrust her, she has recieved more votes than Barack Hussian Obama has ever recieved,and above all tell the people what he really is a muslim, the old republicans use of flip floppin and the trust issue has been worn out, he sounds like a broke record.
