Presidential Election

Barack Obama

Barack Obama is a candidate for the presidential election of 2007. He was born on August 4, 1961 Honolulu, Hawaii. He is married to a lovely lady named Michelle Robinson Obama, with two kids Malia Ann, and Sasha Obama. As a family they attend United Church of Christ. Barack Obama got a great education from Harvard Law School, J.D., 1991, Occidential College/Columbia University, B.A., and Punahou School.

Obama Has wrote two books in the past, one was Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, and the second was, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream.

Barack Obama has many views on the topic of abortion. He says once in a interview, “Now, this is one of those areas – again, I think it’s important to be honest – where I don’t think you’re ever going to get a complete agreement on this issue. If you believe that life begins at conception, then I can’t change your mind. I think there is a large agreement, for example, that late-term abortions are really problematic and there should be a regulation. One area where I think we should have significant agreement is on the idea of reducing unwanted pregnancies because if we can reduce unwanted pregnancies, then it’s much less likely that people resort to abortion. The way to do that is to encourage young people and older people, people of child-bearing years, to act responsibly. Part of acting responsibly – I’ve got two daughters – part of my job as a parent is to communicate to them that sex isn’t casual and that it’s something that they should really think about and not think is just a game.”

Senator Obama shares the growing public concern about illegal immigration in the United States. The challenge facing President Bush and Congress is how to effectively stop the flow of illegal immigrants across our borders, better manage immigration flows going forward, and deal with illegal aliens who are already living and working in this country. The Department of Homeland Security recognizes that identifying and deporting the 11 million undocumented workers currently in this country would be both logistically impossible and highly disruptive to the American economy.
But Instead of mass deportations, Barack Obama believes that the congress must pass comprehensive, compassionate reform that reaffirms the rule of law and brings the undocumented population out of hiding.
