1. cuz hes gonna do lots of changes.so cool.end the war in irak.finally aint that cool
2. He's a native born citizen of the US, and over the age of 35. Those are the only Constitutional requirements.
3. Nothing!
4. He is extremely intelligent, an excellent speaker (doesn't mangle the English language), hard working, dedicated to what he believes in. He recognizes that this country has been going in the wrong direction for a long time, and he sincerely wants to change things for the better. He is young, and if there is anything this country needs is someone with fresh ideas. You can read more about him at his website. http://www.barackobama.com/index.php
5. Obama passed legislation with Republican Senator Jim Talent to give gas stations a tax credit for installing E85 ethanol refueling pumps. The tax credit covers 30 percent of the costs of switching one or more traditional petroleum pumps to E85, which is an 85 percent ethanol/15 percent gasoline blend. -After a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama worked with law enforcement officials to require the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases. -His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent. -Obama created the Illinois Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income working families in 2000 and successfully sponsored a measure to make the credit permanent in 2003. The law offered about $105 million in tax relief over three years. -Obama joined forces with former U.S. Sen. Paul Simon (D-IL) to pass the toughest campaign finance law in Illinois history. The legislation banned the personal use of campaign money by Illinois legislators and banned gifts from lobbyists. Before the law was passed, one organization ranked Illinois worst among 50 states for its campaign finance regulations. -As a member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Senator Obama has fought to help Illinois veterans get the disability pay they were promised, while working to prepare the VA for the return of the thousands of veterans who will need care after Iraq and Afghanistan. -He traveled to Russia with Republican Dick Lugar to begin a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world. -Obama has been a leading advocate for protecting the right to vote, helping to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act and leading the opposition against discriminatory barriers to voting... Here are some of Obama's qualifications in terms of foreign policy: -Obama and Lugar reported on their trip to Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan to inspect weapons dumps and sites where nerve gas, as well as smallpox, plague and other deadly pathogens are kept, under not very secure guard in some cases. -Senator Obama opposed the war in Iraq. He advocates a regional conference involving Syria and Iran as one part of an ultimate Iraq solution. He partnered with GOP Senator Richard Lugar in efforts to fight proliferation of nuclear weapons. Obama has also spoken out on the importance of energy independence and the need for U.S. leadership in dealing with global climate change. He seeks significant changes in U.S.-Cuba policy. -Citizens for Global Solutions gave Obama an A+ rating on his foreign policy positions. In 2007, he clashed with Senator Hillary Clinton over how and when presidents should talk to rogue states. -Obama's philosophies on foreign policy are more of a breathe of fresh air for American people and hold much more promise because he promotes "never fearing to negotiate, but never negotiating out of fear". He is unlike other candidates in the GOP who only allow hositility to grow between America and other nations/organizations to the east by "never negotiating with terrorists". -I hope I was of help, good luck with your debate =)
6. Here's the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth! I hope you get a BROAD lesson from this material and the resources I have provided. OUR Constitution of the United States lists the ONLY "qualifications" anyone needs to be president. There are no other requirements. But the media is controlled and wants people to believe that there are "other" requirements or 'experience' or 'knowledge' that one has to have in order to be a president of the U.S. There is not. The ONLY thing you have to know inside and out is the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and a little History! Our U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and tells government what they can and CANNOT do. The Bill of Rights does NOT tell the people what their rights are; they have many more than listed in the BOR! Instead, The BOR tells the GOVERNMENT what it may NEVER DO!!! They are the servant and must obey the PEOPLE who created government and are their MASTER. Do you see that happening? Or do you see something else going on? God gives the people life and Rights; We the People created government. They created government for only ONE purpose... that is to PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS!!! Do you see any of them doing that? Or, are they making laws that go against the Constitution and the Bill of Rights,laws that remove your God given rights? Are they trying to confuse the people saying to them that government is supposed to protect you and keep you safe, yet, they are NOT protecting your RIGHTS? All they ARE doing is making government spend the People's money to do things that they are not actually authorized in the Constitution to do! That is why no matter who gets elected, a Democrat or Republican, government always gets bigger and more powerful, we always have wars and more spending on programs, and the people lose more and more of their rights and ability to live their lives without having to ask for permission to do just about everything . This is NOT freedom, it is slavery. The government is supposed to obey YOU, not the other way around. The evil bankers are behind all of this. Obama would NOT be a good president because he is an 'ESTABLISHMENT' appointed candidate, as are ALL of the rest of the candidates except ONE... Ron Paul. Ron Paul is the only candidate talking about giving us back our freedom - but the media is controlled by the bankers and they will not let him speak or participate. the media only lets 'establishment' candidates get the publicity. Ron Paul has a HUGE number of people that want him for president. IN fact, he wins all the polls and has really received more votes than any other candidate - ANY other candidate. They just don't let him have his votes... they give them to other candidates, like Mc Cain during the New Hampshire Primary. Obama is supported and backed by the evil group known as the Council on Foreign Relations - a group who has been picking our presidents years in advance of elections. Obama would have NO OTHER CHOICE but to obey HIS masters, the Council on Foreign Relations, The Bilderberger Group, and so many others! So, we wouldn't be any better off with Obama. In addition, Obama is a CFR member, raised in a Muslim school, his wife is on the Board of the Chicago CFR, he has had shady dealings with a real estate transaction (details online), and these are only a few reasons why Obama should not be the President of a Nation whose laws are taken directly from the Christian God of the Bible. Obama's cultural beliefs and upbringing would drastically conflict in every way with that of the Christian American nation. But then, so would all the other establishment candidates, Christians or not... except one. Is Obama (or any of the other est. candidates) talking about bringing back FREEDOM to America? By that, I mean, removing the income tax and IRS so that we will not be directly taxed unconstitutionally on the fruit of our labor? Is he talking about getting rid of the income tax, and replacing it with NOTHING - especially a 'fair' tax? Is he talking about getting rid of the federal reserve system so that we can have Congress do their sworn duty to print our money INTEREST FREE? Is he talking about removing PROPERTY TAX so that Americans will truly be able to OWN their property? If Obama is not for REAL freedom, and must follow the orders of his CFR masters, then whose foreign policy will he follow? Would he use the Military against the American People as did Lincoln? Would Obama start pre-emptive wars, just like all of those presidents since the Civil War? Would he just make government bigger under the guise of 'helping' Americans to a government controlled health care system - one that you and I will pay even MORE for than we do now, without it. The answer is a resounding NO. There is no difference in one CFR candidate, and another! They ALL obey the same master! And that is NOT the American People, THEIR GOD, or the STATES. NONE of them are talking about following the Constitution! ... except Ron Paul. These are the things that would make America FREE again so that we could live our lives in peace, without having to ask for permission from our servant government for everything we do. Our elections are just for show, they are RIGGED - Corrupt! We only vote today because the elite who control this country let us continue to hold elections so that the people will be convinced that they are a 'free' and democratic country and that there is a real CHOICE. But there can be no choice when all the candidates are selected from the same group of people who have been 'approved'. www.blackboxvoting.com voterescue.org We are not free in America and haven' t been in a very long time.... Every plank of the Communist Manifesto has been implemented in the United States in my parents life times...since 1913. ( property tax, progressive income tax, government license to work, govt. run schools, etc.) But, as I said earlier, the Civil War upset the balance of power. God - the People - the State Government - the Federal Government was on the bottom of the heirarchy. After the Civil war the power structure was: Governemnt ---- slaves Government, not God, was the highest power over people. Our system of government, the REPUBLIC under the RULE OF LAW where all rights come from GOD, was taken from us when the Civil War was won, the war Lincoln brought about as a result of his dealings with the private bankers who we now call the Federal Reserve. That war was NOT about freeing Black slaves as much as it was about bringing ALL people and the states into slavery under the Federal Government and the Private Bankers who would become the Central Bank. After the Civil War, Blacks were STILL in slavery in the NORTH, but 'free' in the South! The federal reserve is NOT a government bank, it is a cabal of foreign banker families that have existed behind the scenes for generations, and who have one desire: to own the world, everything and everyone in it. These families, some of who are the Rothchilds, ,the Rockefellers, The Morgans, The Carnegies, have used their power and ability to print unlimited amounts of money out of thin air, backed by nothing, to bring every person in the world into slavery under the federal government, soon to be the WORLD government! MONEY is the tool that these evil men have used to bring everyone into slavery. Please watch this video and look at the sites below for resources!
