What should I know about Obama?

Question

I'm thinking about voting for him...

Answer 1

Don't let crazy Republicans on here sway your decision.  Read and decide for yourself:

So this is pretty much it.  If you like the way this country is running and you like the current state of our economy and you want another 4 years Bush, vote McCain.

If you think our country is headed in the wrong direction and our economy is in huge trouble and want 4 years of fresh new ideas, vote Obama.

Answer 2

Obama has been in the Senate for 140 days, has sponsored three bills. He was the 20-year parishioner of a hateful pastor, the friend and associate of a terrorist, made insulting remarks about the people in our heartland, helped honor one of the most racist people in the country (Farrakan), scored a very questionable finance arrangement with a convicted felon, ushered some attractive financing to his wife's university right before she was promoted, muscled his way into Illinois politics, was an attorney on 14 cases-most of which he lost, admitted to youthful drug use, and has never really led anything or anyone. And, he wants your change.

Answer 3

Obama said he did not need to wear a flag pin in order to be patriotic, in defense of his not wearing them and not placing his hand over his heart during the playing of our national anthem.  Now he wears one.

Obama said he was mentored to Christ by the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and that Reverend Wright was a good man who needed no defense for his preaching from the pulpit, including such statements and ravings as God d**n America.  After defending his spiritual mentor for more than six months, Obama finally abandoned him and changed his tune, this after worshiping at Reverend Wright's feet for 17 years.

Obama says he values life. Yet, he is willing to let a baby who survives a botched abortion to be set aside on an adjacent table or counter and left to die, without any medical intervention which might help that baby survive.

Obama will say anything to anyone at any time in an attempt to pander his pathetic freshman senatorial record as something to be proud of which he has accomplished absolutely nothing as the junior senator from illinois.

Answer 4

He'll raise the inheritance tax to 48 percent (so kiss half of your nest egg goodbye before your children receive whatever is left) and with his privatized health care, it will dilute the cost in such a way that it will only benefit 20 percent of Americans, while the other 80 are left paying premiums for something that will end up hurting in the long run.

His 20-year long "Spiritual Advisor" spewed hatred and lies about the US for 2 decades while Obama gobbled it all up.

His wife is extremely unpatriotic.

He was in the senate for under half a year when he first declared his intentions of running for President.

Before that, he was a state senator (hah) and a glorified picnic-planner.

He thinks that we have 58 states =]

He also stated (multiple times!) that "over 10,000 tragic deaths were a direct result of the flooding in Kansas."  The death toll was indeed 11, and he was mixing up Kansas with Malaysia.

Answer 5

what do you don;t know already .

Answer 6

When speaking to Senator Obama, after January, you need only know to say "Mr. President." You might want to toss in how refreshing it is not to have a mere terrorist/murderer for prez for the first time in eight years.

Answer 7

Here is enough here to keep you in the knowing.

Dr. Ingrid Mattson, president of The Islamic Society of North America or ISNA was given a prominent role at the Democratic National Convention's "interfaith gathering," The ISNA is suspected of having ties to radical terrorism organizations worldwide.

Answer 20

he is an idiot

Answer 21

I posted this on another question of why someone shouldn't vote for Obama.

1. He has only been in government for under 180 days. That is an extreme lack of experience for someone who is supposed to lead the most powerful and diverse nation ever assembled.

2. Social programs, namely health care. I don't like the idea that if Obama gets eleceted, a much larger portion of all the time money I work hard to earn will be taken from me. Not only will I suffer from higher taxes, he will take that extra money, and give it to people who are too lazy to work hard and provide for their families. I am only 24 years old, and if I can work hard and provide myself with health care, why can't other Americans do the same thing? I don't see how the government bailing people out of their problems, whether they be no health care, homlessness, or no job, is going to help these people achieve a better life. There is no reason to improve your situation and earn things if the government will just bail you out at the expense of those who do work.

3. Iraq- Whether or not you support the war, over 75% of Americans supported going into Iraq, you should support the troops over there. They enlisted to protect this country, and they were sent to Iraq, regardless of how they felt about it. Obama voted against funding for the troops and that is utterly unacceptable. Even if you don't like GWB or the war, you should still do everything in your power to protect the troops. Not only that but we are there now, we are succeeding recently, with the surge, and I don't like Obama's plan to withdrawl troops regardless of conditions and only based on a timeline. The war should be scaled down and troops should be brought home, but only on a conditional basis. If we just haul out of there regardless of how things are going, things will get worse, and the Al-Qaeda currently in Iraq will have a chance to plan out attacks and do more harm.

4. I have absolutely no reason to vote for Obama, and that is his fault. He is a very eloquent speaker. He is motiviational and uplifting, but empty. He talks about change and reform and making things better, but I have yet to hear a plan. He won't say how this change is going to come about, what exactly he plans to do, or any sort of a outline on how things will get done. Not only that, saying you are about change, and then picking one of the longest standing members of government as a Vice President, sure doesn't go very far to convince me you really are about change.

5. He is pro-death/choice. Abortion is abhorable and giving the kid up for adoption, or being morally responsible, is always a better alternative.

6. Congress, at this time, is controlled by Democrats. Our government works because we have a system of checks and balances. If we have a Democrat in the White House, and a Democrat controlled congress, they can push any kind of agenda they want into law without someone to say, wait a minute, this is a bad idea, and stop it.

7. I just like everything about McCain/Palin about 100% more then I do Obama/Biden. McCain has over 20 years experience in both the military and in politics/foreign affairs. If there ever is war or another terrorist attack, he is the man I want handling things, he is the one with the experience and knowledge, and the ability to lead troops. I love his VP pick Palin too. She is an outsider, from a blue collar family like most Americans. She can give insight to what everyday people like you and me want to see happen in this country. She is tough as nails and even went against her own party and her own state's senator to stop the corruption they were promoting. She has fought against corruption by oil companies and won. She also enjoys a 80-90% approval rating in the largest state in the Union.

8. This may be the most important. Just think for a minute. You are Osama Bin Laden, and you want to destroy America. Who do you want to be president? The guy who is strong enough to sit in a P.O.W. camp in Vietnam for 5 years and refuse release until all the P.O.W.s who were captured before you were released, or the guy who has never even seen combat and doesn't know very much about foreign affairs? I will always vote for the guy I think the terrorist would vote against.

So much for my short post.. I could continue and would be glad to if you need. Go ahead and email me. Good Day!

Edit: Almost forgot to mention. His career was launched in the home of Mr. Ayers, a man responsible for bombings at the U.S. Capitol building and the Pentagon. Terrorist affiliations are not what I like to see.
