    BTW, I thought it said in the bible “ judge not least ye be judged” i.e. that the ONLY one who can Judge is GOD. No one man on earth has the right to declare in what way or whom God will bestow his judgment. Before you speak about abortion as “all in the name of women's and civil rights” and insinuate that we (women) should "get over it" and have children because of your personal moral understanding of the world then I challenge you to pass a kidney stone (or ten because this is closest pain a man can feel to labor and btw it is way less than labor pains) or to have a woman you care greatly about (daughter, sister, lover, wife) who cannot carry a child to full term due to money, health concerns for the woman, rape, or because she is too young for this life moment. I challenge you to look this woman in the eye, someone who you care about deeply, and with as much callousness as you typed in your post tell her to just “get over it” and have the child. Women have been letting people take our “rights” for centuries and I am glad to say we are not losing anymore "rights" because you or anyone else thinks their concept of God would be one that denies women the same gift of "free will" i.e. freedom of choice that was given to "men".

    There is not ONE President in History (Doug195) who has not raised taxes. NOT ONE (including Bush senior who ran his campaign saying -no new taxes)! This is the NO.1 lie of the Republican Party post Regan in the 1980's when they "reinvented themselves." If you take any basic college level politics class you will learn this fact. Every hopeful President Republican or Democratic always runs saying “no new taxes” and then some form or another and when elected they raise taxes. In general, I think it is great WONDERFUL that Obama said flat out he would raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans to help support the country. The economic gap in this country is in part what lead to our current economic crisis. We made cost of living in the US unaffordable to like 80% of the people living here and are shocked to find that they took out too much credit. Then with regards, to those middle-class Americans who got greedy and took out too much credit this is same side of the coin as all the top 3rd wealthy Americans with offshore bank accounts (or who venomousness appose raising taxes on the rich and in the same breath of air think it is fine to heavily tax the poor and lower-middle class). This is economic segregation and a way to insure the poor stay poor and rich get richer. While unlike PBO, President Bush Jr. set up loop holes in our tax system for 8 years to aid his wealthy friends and raised taxes on the poorest Americans. Jr. forced the country and by domino effect the WHOLE world into an economic crisis, placed this country indebt when he chose to follow poor military intelligence and launch this country into a war leading to the death of American soldiers, and tarnished our name with using non-human torture. By all accounts to “mess up this country more than Jr” PBO would have to drive every American to the unemployment line and start WWIII. This is not about taxes or the right to bear arms it is about the health care bill. I understand that the country is split on this issue. I think much of the split is because both sides Republican and Democratic are spinning horrible lies about what is or is not in the bill and what "universal health care" means . Enough is enough! We are one of the only non-3rd world countries without affordable/universal health care. What does this say about us? Do you know healthcare reform has been trying to pass in the House and Senate since the 1900's i.e. for over a century? This has nothing to do with PBO. THIS HAS TO DO WITH US. That in OVER a 100 years we the American people cannot see past our individual wealth to do what is right for our country.

    I think he is an educated idiot. Number one, the Democrats are against tax cuts, period. Don't tell me they're not, because they have proven time and time again that they are totally against cutting taxes. Number two, how can you call abortion "Health Care"? Doesn't somebody die in the process? God will judge America with terrible judgement, at the blood of more than 55 million babies dead, all in the name of women's and civil rights. As rubywal says, "Deal with it," so I will deal with it. But come the first Tuesday of November 2012, guess who I am NOT voting for for President, and I believe that more Americans than who voted against Jimmy Carter in 1980 will be in line to fire Barack Obama from his job. He is a liar, a cheat, a scoundrel, and he doesn't deserve to be the President of the United States.

    Speaking of demands, I'd like to demand that PBO's profile be updated to reflect that he IS the 44th President of the United States. Deal with it People and support his efforts to Reform our Health Care System for the benefit of us all. We can't afford to be biting our noses to spite our faces!

Bio
Barack Obama is the president-elect of the United States of America. He will become the 44th President on January 20, 2009.

Barack Obama has dedicated his life to public service as a community organizer, civil rights attorney, and leader in the Illinois state Senate. Obama now continues his fight for working families following his recent election to the United States Senate.

Sworn into office January 4, 2005, Senator Obama is focused on promoting economic growth and bringing good paying jobs to Illinois. Obama serves on the important Environment and Public Works Committee, which oversees legislation and funding for the environment and public works projects throughout the country, including the national transportation bill. He also serves on the Veterans Affairs Committee where he is focused on investigating the disability pay discrepancies that have left thousands of Illinois veterans without the benefits they earned. Senator Obama also serves on the Foreign Relations Committee.

During his seven years in the Illinois state Senate, Obama worked with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. Obama also pushed through an expansion of early childhood education, and after a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama enlisted the support of law enforcement officials to draft legislation requiring the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases.

Obama is especially proud of being a husband and father of two daughters, Malia, 8 and Sasha, 4. Obama and his wife, Michelle, married in 1992 and live on Chicago ’s South Side where they attend Trinity United Church of Christ.

Barack Obama was born on August 4th, 1961, in Hawaii to Barack Obama, Sr. and Ann Dunham. Obama graduated from Columbia University in 1983, and moved to Chicago in 1985 to work for a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods plagued with crime and high unemployment. In 1991, Obama graduated from Harvard Law School where he was the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review.
