Things you should know about this creepazoid.How Dangerous is Obama?This article proves that he's merely a tool for the world government and promoter of a tax to be paid to the UN to fuel its totalitarian control over us and to redistribute the wealth to other countries. "A nice-sounding bill called the "Global Poverty Act," sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States. The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.""The bill defines the term "Millennium Development Goals" as the goals set out in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, General Assembly Resolution 55/2 (2000).""In addition to seeking to eradicate poverty, that declaration commits nations to banning "small arms and light weapons" and ratifying a series of treaties, including the International Criminal Court Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol (global warming treaty), the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child."An Obama presidency would be racist and a disaster for the USA.In one of Obama's campaign offices, there is even a flag with a picture of a murderous Marxist dictator on it!Read the rest here: <a class="user" href="http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/ckincaid/2008/ck_02131.shtml%C2%A0">http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/ckincaid/2008/ck_ ...</a>

What a decision! The nation needs its first Black president. The nation needs its first woman president. Which ever - they need to be a Democrat. Since we can't, at this time, get both in the same person, it has to be Obama - when you hear him speak, doesn't he make you want to be better today than you were yesterday? Shades of Jack Kennedy. All hail Obama!

Maybe this will help:Let's take a closer look at who's really qualified and or who's really working for the good of all of us in the Senate. Obama or Clinton.Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term - 6yrs. - and another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law - 20 - twenty pieces of legislation in her first six years.These bills can be found on the website of the Library of Congress www.thomas.loc.gov, but to save you trouble, I'll post them here for you.1. Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site.2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall.5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson.6. Name post office after Jonn A. O'Shea.7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day.8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day.9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death.10. Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program.13. Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda.14. Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and express condolences on her death.15. Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford, firefighters who lost their lives on duty. Only five of Clinton's bills are, more substantive.16. Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11.17. Pay for city projects in response to 9/11 18. Assist landmine victims in other countries.19. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.20. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected in the wilderness preservation system.There you have it, the fact's straight from the Senate RecordNow, I would post those of Obama's, but the list is too substantive, so I'll mainly categorize.During the first - 8 - eight years of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced233 regarding healthcare reform,125 on poverty and public assistance,112 crime fighting bills,97 economic bills,60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,21 ethics reform bills,15 gun control,6 veterans affairs and many others.His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These included **the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 - became law, **The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, - became law, **The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate, **The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, - became law, **The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, In committee, and many more.In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096.An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no record according to some who would prefer that this comparison not be made public.He's not just a talker. He's a doer. Pass it on....It's impressive
