Obama, supporters, how well do you know your candidate:?

After, seeing a number of replies that represents an utter ignorance of Obama's voting record by Obama supporters- I had to post the attached links concerning the "Born Alive Bill" -

The bill written to protect babies that survie the abortion procedure- Obama was the only voice against the bill in his state legislature and it passed at the federal level in 2000 with only 15 votes in the House against it.

Here's some links to look over before you bother to post:

Now, after all that reading do you understand Obama's position on abortion and feticide?

Update:

the first was to explain the bill since it was ovious people didn't know it existed and Miss Stanek's blog provided links to Obamas votes in the Senate- perhaps you might find those authentic enough for you.

    I don't think they know him well enough, most are sheep and looking for real change which by the way he doesn't have. He scares me and he should scare all of you. Look at some of the quotes from His book:

    From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

    From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

    From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

    From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

    From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

    And FINALLY the Most Damming one of ALL of them!!!

    From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

    * If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to Do so!!!! We CANNOT have someone with this type of mentality running our GREAT nation!! I don't care whether you a Democrat or a Conservative. We CANNOT turn ourselves over to this type of character in a President. PLEASE help spread the word.

    "Democrats said the measure was unneeded because children born alive are protected under existing laws. Some accused Republicans of trying to score political points. "

    There was no mention of Obama in the first article.

    Jill Stanek.com is a biased pro life website. You can't use that for a netural source.

    The last link is a link to a conservative blog with an obvious bias. Need I say more?

    Obama is a freak . The other one is known . Since he is unknown , everyone thinks there may some hidden cards with him to play . fact is, he is immature and inexperienced in world affairs ....hardly understands the global role of the USA.

    Very good question! None of them KNOW him. They know the personality that he portrays, but that is it. This years election is just like any other, two candidates that you have to choose from based on which is less evil.

    Ron Paul would have turned the US around, but the sheep must follow the herd.
