         I know my friend like him. Some of them are of same race but many also hate him. I think he has done many good things in America specifically health care.
         
         I have come to think that Obama is the president of the century.

                  Well, he can talk and chew gum at the same time for a start.  He definatley has a similar air of arrogance about him, but he doesn't swagger and sneer the way Bush did.  And of course Obama hasn't started any new wars yet for his perosnal gain.

At the helm when the recession hit, appointed unqualified "Good Christians" to post head a number of departments, passed the Patriot Act which in cases infringed on peoples rights, etc.

            Ok, Obama renewed the patriot act, and signed into law the NDAA which allows the government to hold indefinitely US citizens, his failure during the giant oil plume that screwed up the ocean and killed innumerable amounts of sea life.
            He appoints a truckload of idiots like communist Van Jones, David Axelrod, Tim Geigner, and Eric Holder. He sat through the good christian rants of Jeremy Right every Sunday over the last twenty years without ever finding any of the hate filled crap that he spews out on a daily basis odious or repugnant.
            He canceled oil pipelines to further his green jobs agenda. Failed cash for clunkers program, highest gas prices ever, bottomed out the housing market, responded to the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl at Fukushima power plant in Japan by advocating nuclear power and tripling taxpayer funds for loans on nuclear power plants in America.
            The most Americans on welfare ever, highest government spending ever, biggest national debt ever, the Solyndra scandal, etc...

         Life sucks under this one because your country was sold by the Bush tag team and you are basking in the aftermath.  I have no idea if Obama is any good, and nor will anyone else unless he is able to rid your government of the toxic politics you have right now where your 'opposition' would rather see the country broke than 'their' man fail again.  You are on the edge of the precipice I think.

                     It is only necessary to stand outside and look in. I remember the respect that the US enjoyed before you shot JFK and the winners took power.  I remember the fight for respect for your black people and watching as you shot King, and the black underclass you then created from the mess.  And lately, a sleazy president who was run out of office, then the lying manipulations of your Bush family both in buying the presidency for the dimwit and then the lying that made yhour arms barons (and your Bush family) trillions of tax payers dollars.

                        First off I didn't shoot Kennedy or King I was only a kid that admired the courage of both. They were both men of conviction who would never spew unsubstantiated hatred. So all you can really say is that you base your opinions on Gibberrish and nonsense without the benefit of research. That's not much of foundation for the hate you have built up inside you. It also tends to show a low self esteem that needs to try to change facts to try and bring oneself out of the quagmire. I wish you a happier life than you seem to have right now.

      I don't believe Roe v Wade will ever be overturned, no matter who the prez is.

         It's near impossible to get an abortion now....
         
         Adding one more Con to the SC and it is over.
         
         Between the terrorism from Operation Rescue and the hateful rhetoric from pols like Romney...
         
         Women will be back to holding their heads in shame for daring to express their desire for the freedom to own their own lives.

            So you're still bemoaning the possibility that a woman won't be legally allowed to kill an unborn child.  Wow.
            
            You should actually look up the Roe v. Wade controversy and trial.  The woman in question had the child and later became an outspoken advocate for LIFE.   The whole trial etc. was a farce pushed by liberal activists.  Ms. "Roe" was used as a scapegoat.  There was no sympathy for her plight, no feeling for her dilemma, nor for her unborn child.  No one was trying to help her come to terms with any personal dilemma she might've faced.  She was simply used.  Don't you get it?

               The issue is the right to privacy, and the right to control our own lives.
               Your religion has no business in my womb. Period.
               
               Sorry certain people don't approve of sex for pleasure....I do. And I want my daughters to have that gift from God also.
               
               My god is not one of coldness and vengeance.
               And the day other gods stop bombing babies and killing families----I'll have a listen to their views on other issues.
               
               LIFE is children that are already here.

                  Well said, lovemychris, why don't the religious nuts adopt some homeless kids rather than having five to ten of their own? Here are some hard line opinions from blue collar America, Brenda.
                  Those who fight abortion are ignoring the 3rd world influx that pops out puppies like a mill and expects hard working Americans to flip the bill! You like paying for Paco's ten kids? Go ahead but not me. If it wasn't for abortions the population problem would have already tipped the scales and we would all be speaking spanish. To hell with that nonsense! Viva la Abortions! Viva!

                     Eh...the illegal immigration problem and overpopulation doesn't have anything to do with the moral issue of abortion.
                     I've heard others around here talk about how abortion is okay because it stops overpopulation.   I find that a horrid excuse.
                     
                     The problem you've illustrated is caused by allowing people from other Nations to come to America and try to remake it and its official language into a better version of their Nation instead of them assimilating into American society.  We need to close our borders and take care of our own people first and foremost, I agree.  But it isn't right to say that abortion is a way to keep America's sovreignty.

                     I actually think they have nefarious reasons for these unwanted babies. When I find the particular web-site, I will post it.
                     
                     It's just another case of 1+1=2.
                     Force them to have babies
                     Provide no help.
                     Where do kids end up?

                  I just don't want to pay for:
                  A. The Abortion
                  2> Your medical bills for any complications that may arise from your abortions.
                  C.Any abortions your daughters may have because you raised them that way.
                  
                  That's not my religion. That's me.
                  That's also most of the folks in this country.

   Pollard stays in jail. Yay Obama!
   
   "Pollard, 49, was a civilian intelligence analyst for the U.S. Navy when, in the mid-1980s, he copied and gave to his Israeli handlers enough classified documents to fill a walk-in closet. He was given a life sentence."
   
   He did not bow to pressure from Peres and Netenyahu.
