    He's a family man. Married once with two beautiful children and is obviously still in love with his wife. It will be nice to have children in the White House again. It's been a long time.

    I don't think that Obama has the same values. He did not support the war in Iraq, or the surge. I know that he believes in helping fellow Americans, as well as helping our fellow citizens of the world. But our values, and ethics come from our immigrant ancestors. We work hard to achieve our goals, and when times get tough, we work harder. Obama would rather give handouts to people who are able, but not willing. That is not an American value, and this is a major reason for the economic crisis we now face. American values are those of responsibility and accountability, and when our elected officials cannot live up to them, how will he expect others to follow.

    Let's see:

    Infanticide

    Hates the National Anthem

    Mocked the Bible

    Wants us dependent on foreign oil and industry

    Socialism and socialised medicine-- but only for select people,

    Obama Youth Corps ( corpse?)

    Doesn't like the red, white, and blue United States flag but co-opted the Pepsi logo for his purposes.

    Doesn't respect the American flag but has a Che Rivera flag in his office.

    Surrendering to all of our enemies.

    Nope, these are not the American values I grew up with.

    supporting the troops? Why add values Obama does not hold. Obama's values are not American, they would be very close to France pre Sarkozy and they have a lot in common with S. America's Chavez. Obama does not value this America.

    The Obama campaign has been very visible on the internet. I went to his election campaign site for this link to his plan to help families: http://www.barackobama.com/issues/family/

    On the President elect site there is not much yet but here is the link to the agenda:

    You can write about why he refused to sing the national anthem, refused to pledge allegiance to the U.S. flag, and how he was FORCED to wear the American pin. Oh, don't forget his support for the Islamic Sharia law which contradicts his stand on his devotion to Christianity and the Constitution. Great patriotic American values!

    You mean sending them off to a dishonorable war and 4,000 of them dying. What caring for your fellow americans by a trickle down theory that is only in their dreams. Not wanting to support the veterans and FIGHT against any benefits for those that they send recklessly off to war to TAKE ANOTHER COUNTRY'S ECONOMY AND STILL NOT BENEFIT AMERICA. JUST THEIR POCKETS!

    What do republicans get a star for lying? Well, I think Americans are getting sick & tired of the republican lies.

    Man, you'd have an easier time if you talked about how Obama won't tie traditional American values into his presidency.

    When you get the part about supporting the troops written let us know. I'd be interested how he is going to do that!
