Barack Obama
Barack Hussein Obama II, the 44th President of the United States of America, was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. After graduating from Columbia University, Obama spent the next 5 years working with community service organizations in various roles. In 1989, he attended Harvard Law School, where he became the first African American to become president of the Harvard Law Review. After graduating magna cum laude, Obama settled in Chicago and worked until 2004 with a firm that specialized in civil rights law and neighborhood economic development. During this time, he also served as a professor of constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School.
Obama entered politics in 1997 as an Illinois State Senator, where he was noted for gaining bipartisan support for legislation on reforming ethics and health care laws and sponsored laws benefiting low income workers and for welfare reform. In 2004 he ran for, and won, the seat of junior US Senator from Illinois in a landslide election and drew national attention for his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
During his time in the Senate, Barack Obama sponsored legislation on immigration, weapons reduction, governmental transparency, consumer protection, and foreign policy. He was known as one of the more liberal voices in the Senate and one of its more powerful members. From its beginning, Obama was one of the few public and vocal dissenters to the Iraq War in Congress.
In February 2007, Obama entered a crowded field of Democratic nominees for President, promoting a platform of ending the Iraq War, increasing energy independence, and providing universal health coverage. By the spring of 2008, the field had narrowed down to Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Clinton, a Senator from New York and wife of former President Bill Clinton, highlighted her experience and moderate agenda, while Obama concentrated on creating hope with a message of change, employing the mantra ‘Yes, we can.’
Barack Obama s campaign ignited the popular imagination in a dramatic way, garnering support and record breaking donations through the revolutionary use of modern media. His campaign s usage of the internet created grassroots fervor and produced an unprecedented flood of small donations. This populist tide allowed him to secure the Democratic nomination for President. It also gave him the momentum to defeat, along with running mate Senator Joe Biden, the Republican ticket of Arizona Senator John McCain and Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin. The American public chose the optimism and change of the Obama/Biden ticket over the experience and fiscally conservative platform of their Republican counterparts, sending Democratic majority into Congress along with them.
Obama responded decisively to America s growing fiscal crisis. Within the first 100 days of becoming the United States first African American President, he initiated and signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, an ambitious $787 billion program designed to stimulate the economy. With mounting opposition from the Republican Congressional minority that began with the stimulus plan, Obama also launched a sweeping new budget and oversaw the reorganization of GM and sale of Chrysler, 2 of the Big 3 automakers and backbones of American industry. During the summer of 2009, President Obama turned his focus to universal health coverage, proposing the passing of a plan by the middle of August.

Barack Obama your gift from of God nobody can stop your second term.
Barack Obama you the best may God bless you in your family.
Obama has done the best for Americans. He inherited an economy that had a downward trend(-ve) and he has turned it around. Today America and the whole world is more safe with the Death of Bin Laden.
Patience pays. Obama is the best thing that has happened in American history and the world has a positive eye for America today than any other time in the world history. Im a Kenyan and Living in Kenya and I would like to tell Americans that Obama is a sign of hope and peace of the world. Since he took the office, He put a lot of efforts in reduilding the tartured America image in Iraq and Afganistan and saved the lifes of thousands of american soulders by bringing them home after former President Bush subjected them in bittlefield for no apparent reason.I think no American has benefited from ‘ever American’ wars that never end. I was born when Americas was in war and untill Bush left presidency the Americans were still at war. Whom a you fighting?
President Obama deserve a second term. A long and sustainable reforms needs patient. Let ‘YES WE CAN’ bring the ‘CHANGE WE BELIEVE IN’.
We people outside America do follow your elections. And i dont believe if Mitt Romney, Newt Hingrich,Ron Paul and Rick Santorum can bring the real change and they are likely to take America back to war. DEAR AMERICANS, VOTE WISELY. GOD BLESS YOU, GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS OBAMA.

No one is ” haten’ “, just dislikes his politics. And how am I supposed to believe that Obama is so great and that every thing he does is for the goodness of the people if his followers, like you, say “go kill yourself” to fellow Americans????
Obama will win this election no matter who put him down or says what, he only been in the office for only 4 years and bush been in the office how long?, and you see what he did to us, now Obama have to have 4 more years to re-build America and bring back the American dream, only him (Obama) is the change for the United States and even the world, so before you criticize him for being the worse president just think “where was i in the last 8 years”?……OBAMA WILL WIN 2012….leave him alone and let the man do his job for 4 more years then debt on who will be the next president for America, after Obama re-build America……

That would be US AMERICANS! PLEASE I BEG YOU VOTE FOR A CHANGE FROM OBAMA, VOTE FOR RON PAUL AND WATCH THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE CHANGE WE NEED!!
NEVER IAM VOTING FOR OBAMA
The president sure should have one more term to revive the American dream yes he can
Ron Paul suck!
DO NOT, I REPEAT…DO NOT TRUST Mr. Obama, as it will undoubtedly only prove to be to your own detriment when he finishes what he has begun.
Mr. Barack Obama is a deceptive and manipulative child-murderer whose true intentions have not yet been fully manifested and he SHOULD NOT be trusted in any way.
Barack Obama falsely professes to be a Christian while his every action is anything but.
Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God….3 John 1:11
Barack Obama’s brutal and merciless acts against the unborn cannot be allowed to continue.
For the sake of children, I urge anyone and everyone to please DO NOT VOTE THE CHILD-MURDER back into office.
Please stand for the innocent children who deserve to live and stand against the evil that Mr. Obama proudly and shamelessly displays…..
Regarding murdering children, Mr. Obama publicly stated….”I will not yield and Planned Parenthood will not yield.”

Leave Mr Obama alone, he will win the next presidential election and continue to make us proud.
Proud of what??? That we bow down to other countries???
It’s people like you that will keep America in the dark ages. Abortion is not ‘child murder’. The bible is propoganda. Jesus was a sorcerer (a bad one at that). And you, my friend, are an imbecile.
NO…It’s people like you who will keep America in “the dark ages”…..imbecile
This person needs help! crazy,crazy,crazy,get some help wacko.
god bless the ignorant lost child. please seek god. the devil has you fooled
Anyone who supports Obama makes an imbecile look promising. Abortion is murder, Obama is a hack Communist black nationalist. Liberals need to leave the USA.
First of All you better look at how many white racist have raped and murder not only black young girls and women in the slavery days but their own children as well so who is the murder? Look what happen to tracy duggard.
Furthermore when ever a white President get into the house he’s always have sex with someone’s daughter or wife who wants a president like that. I will not vote for any republicans PERIOD. Whats iggy Sara Palin doing in the race she definitley will not get my vote. she doesn’t even like African Americans all she wants is attension
What does racism have to do with any of this crap? The last time I checked it was 2011, not 1800 when there was slavery. Another thing, you say that all white presidents have sex with somebody who is not their wife. Did Abraham Lincoln, “Obama’s hero”, fuck around with anybody…NO!
please call me, im a psychologist and i feel as if i could offer you mental help.
Senator Byrd was a democrat and a racist. Lincoln was a Republican. Your mother was a sperm bank.
I love it when people try and pull the religion card when talking about the President.
First off, it does not matter if he is “really” a christian or not because this country has something called “the separation of church and state,” something you have obviously never heard of. I believe that the church, christian, muslim, jewish or whatever you believe in, should not a play a single role in American politics. When religion starts playing a role, then you get situations like that of Iraq under Sadaam’s rule, one where one faction of a religion begins slaughtering the other because of their differences in beliefs and want of political power.
Now, in regards to your comments on Planned Parenthood, I would just like to inform you that abortions only make-up 3% of Planned Parenthood’s budget. Also, the President is not the one that is literally, as you put it, “murdering children.” He is a member of the party that happens to support “pro-choice,” which is quite different than “pro-mudering children,” and “pro-abortion.” I hope that you understand that Mr. Obama is not forcing any child to be murdered or to die, he is merely upholding the rights of women in this country to choose, for themselves, whether or not they are capable of taking care of a child.
Oh, and I think that Obama is more christian than most of the Republicans who claim to be a member of the “religious right.”
I say this because if you look at the teachings and actions of Jesus, you can see that he was in favor of “helping thy neighbor” and supporting those in need. Planned Parenthood’s main function is not, like you probably think, to preform abortions, it’s main function is to provide a place where people, especially mothers, mothers-to-be and those who cannot afford health insurance, can go to learn about sexual diseases and how to prevent them, get check-ups for themselves and their children and educate themselves and their children on how to stay healthy. That sounds pretty christian to me. Also, with the President’s support, Congress passed The Affordable Care Act, an act that allows all Americans to have access to health insurance. This means that the President that you hate so much, supports an act that allows people to be cared for and to be healthy. This all sounds pretty christian to me.
So just remember to look at both sides of an issue before you start spreading all your slanderous, hateful posts across the internet. It’s people like you, not the President, that make me fearful of what our country is to be become.
Well written perfect!
finally i get to read some reasonable, educated and schorlastic post.
people are so worried about who will win the election, people better be thinking about will they be ready when Jesus come, the Republicans have destored this country, it is doomed, you better read Revelation 17-18 chapture, it is speaking of the United States, I myself I did not get to vote for the election, I was in the hospital but I knew that Obama would win because it was the will of God.
and could no one stop it.
no matter who gets in there this country is in the state of no return, so thouse you who are trusting in the government need to put your trust in God.
Yes, put your trust in God… Oh wait! I forgot, Obama is god…never mind, do not put your trust in god.
ita! God is more important that who is the president. Satan’s world is coming down. All non believer will see when its too late. I pray the world opens it’s eyes. God’s kingdom will win and He will lay down the law.
What a moron….
I will DEFINETELY NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA AGAIN! He has not done anything for the country, rather just “talk” and provide speeches of “hope” and “changes”. All he ever does is talk! Yet he cannot seem to take action and do something about providing jobs for the unemployed, the economy crashed because of him and his “group of congress”. Everything was perfectly fine before until he came along and destroyed the “perfect picture” that this country once had.
Wrong I am a veteran and one of the things Obama has done for our soldiers was to ensure we recieve proper care and treatment to include educational benefits we deserved. Furthermore Obama care is good for preexisting illnesses.
Good for soldiers…not for the other Americans
Is that So? White men get more that 8 years to muck up and a black man gets 4 years to clean up his mess. typical of American way of thinking.
Man Up already and stop crying Racism – It has nothing to do with that – Obama was plain and simple too weak to handle the battle that he was thrown into.
Only because congress is stonewalling him not letting change happen!
Barak Hussein Obama is a clinical narcissist who’s primary goal is to be loved and admired by as many people as possible.
He’s primary delusion in that of his own greatness.
In reality he possesses only a very mediocre intelligence; he is incapable of giving a speech without a teleprompter, much less of analyzing complex problems. His policies just as his speeches are written by other people.
Therefore it is important to understand who those other people are.
Crucial to Barak Hussein Obama’s identity is his identification with Black Americans.
The Black liberation camp has after MLK been entirely penetrated by the Islamist, and BHO (Barak Hussein Obama) is indeed a great supporter of Islamism. His pro-Islamic stand is part of his very identity.
An almost equally powerful identity level of influence on BHO is Marxist ideology: The view that class struggle between “rich and poor”, “oppressed and oppressors” is the main driving force of history. In this view, America is the rich and the oppressor and is responsible for the misery of most of the “poor and oppressed” world.
The pro-Muslim and pro-Marxist stands of BHO must be thoroughly understood by the American public. If BHO is ellected to another 4 years in the office, his harm to the the United States may be beyond repair.
not worth reading, how can anyone be that stupid
Just look at yourself you Obama lover!! Ha ha!
i think obama is doing what he thinks is the best for america.americans,open your eyes and make a truthful assesment of the man
Keep drinking the Fox Kool-aid buckie!
Truthful assessment(with my eyes wide open of coarse)…..The man is a communist
Yeah… what a joke, very disappointed in obama
he is just like his healthcare law you dont know what you get until after the fact
both turned out wrong for America and also pushing this global economy on us
(worry about our economy first), the mandated health care law strike a fear in Christians cause
it is basically having all men to be accounted for along with the talk of global economy(nwo) and telling
Israel to retrieve to pre-67 borders all along telling us he is christian…..it is all in the revelations
about the anti-christ it scares me to say that obama fits the bill
It will be simply silly for us Americans to think that we will just go with a diffrent choice just becouse we are not where we think we should be. As a republican myself I just think is just stupid politics to just get rid of a CEO becouse we are not at a 100% capacity,.lets be honest we just sat for 8 yrs and got nothing done other than keeping our nation safe. Mr. Obam I belive is a decent man who deserves our respect and admiration. I think is crazy that my collegues want to just focus soley on geting the health care defeted; this will be a huge issue becouse we need to continue to bulid on this economy and that is what we need to do, period. My republican friends all they seem to care is to score political points by just trying to get rid of everything the president has done. If the republican go in with the radicals of the TEA Party frindge and try to just un- do all that has been done they will thrown out by 2012..We Americans need to continue to move forward not backwards and is not going to happen under a republican majority..I hope that we can keep the balance of power a republican house a split senate and a democratic president…Yes, Mr. Obama will get elected in 2012…So, help us God if he does not! Republicans if you all focus on health care you will be doomed!
Mr. Rift, appropriate name. If you are indeed a Republican who seeks 2/3 rule by Dems and 9/10th Liberal rule by the massive machine of Government, do the honorable thing and walk across the isle, drink your kool-aid and do what you’re told.
The Tea Party is not about health care destruction, it’s about health care sanity and compassion. Additionally Obama is not just health care, he is for a “State-ist” Government. Placing everything and everybody “under” the control of Government overseers.
Lucky for us, he sees His Power as more important than His Principles, so some moderation is expected. Sadly this moderation may result in a more stable America just in time for His re-election in 2012, at which time, His Power secured for a second term, all the restraint that regained stability (if that happens) will be tossed aside like an old toy, and Venezuela of the North will be His course.
I do think Obama will be reelected in 2012. The reason is simple; it will be too costly for America to experiment another new president in this present time of world economic crisis. Americans must understand that it is not only the USA that has problems but the entire world. They must also remember that Bush is the one who messed up the US economy and destroyed the US image in the world – a thing that has greatly affected and still affects the purchase of American products in some countries in the world. The guy – Obama- is doing the best he can to improve on the US economy.
Stop using Bush as an excuse for Obama’s laziness. Face the fact, Obama has been in office for four years and what has he done to make America good? NOTHING! All he does is apologize for the U.S.’s mistakes…WE DO NOT NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO ANYBODY. According to me, bowing down to another leader is a sign of cowardliness (not respect).
“The guy-Obama” has done SHIT. The only thing he is good for is standing in front of the camera, and playing basketball, and going on vacations from “his very stressful” job.
You do realize, of course, that Obama hasn’t had a fraction of the vacation time that his predecessor took while in office, right?
I honestly think that God has the final say who will when anything . people must remember the economy was messed up when Obama came to power and I think that he is doing the best that he can to fix the problems. Will the economy be like the Good old Bill Clinton days I dont thinks so. But if the economy come back halfway and unemployment drop from 9% to about 6% or maybe 5% and the real estate market picks up then I believe that Obama may have a slim chance at reelection. Or if he captures Osama Bin Laden during his presidency and takes the credit for capturing the most wanted man alive he may have chance of winning the conservative vote..
