BARACK OBAMA - DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE - GO OBAMA GO!!!!!!!!

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (born August 4, 1961) is the junior United States Senator from Illinois and a candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 U.S. presidential election. He married in 1992 and has two daughters. Obama has written two books: a memoir of his youth titled Dreams from My Father, and The Audacity of Hope, a personal commentary on U.S. politics.

Born to a Kenyan father and an American mother, he passed most of his childhood and adolescent years in Honolulu, Hawaii. At age six, he moved to Jakarta where he lived with his mother and Indonesian stepfather for four years. A graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, Obama worked as a community organizer, university lecturer, and lawyer before serving in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004.

Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, he announced his campaign for U.S. Senate in early 2003. The next year, while still an Illinois state legislator, Obama delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2004 with 70% of the vote.

As a member of the Democratic minority in the 109th Congress, he cosponsored legislation to control conventional weapons and to promote greater public accountability in the use of federal funds. He also made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In the current 110th Congress, he has sponsored legislation regarding lobbying and electoral fraud, climate change, nuclear terrorism, and care for returned U.S. military personnel. Since announcing his presidential campaign in February 2007, Obama has emphasized ending the war in Iraq, increasing energy independence, and providing universal health care as top national priorities.

most patriotic thing every american has to do is to respect one another and be honest, and yes america has been built on the shoulders of hard working people black and white and even those who don't even have a right to vote, so a real patriot is the one who respect the diversity and is willing to take the challenges that comes with it

Saddening and sickening reading the comments from ignoramouses here. Mouth breathers who wouldn't recognize socialism if it crapped on their pillows. Socialism is when the state spends $750,000,000,000.00 salvage the banks the were allowed to greedily get rich while the agencies that are supposed to prevent such things happening were gutted and legislatively prevented from doing it by the more corrupt administration in the history of the nation. Republicans - The party the wrecked America.

being respectful has nothing to do with being a patriot

This Country needs Obama like we need another 9/11. Tax big companies to fund these lower class minorities who can barely afford to support their families. Gee...if they're broke, that's their fault due to their own poor life decisions. Plus taxing big buisnesses will drive up unemployment rates for already struggling companies (like GM, who is already having to shut down plants).

Amen Brother!
