The average right-wing conservative will try and tell you rubbish about he's a terrorist/ friend of Bin Laden/ friend of Saddam/ communist etc. They spout this bullsh*t presumably because they're scared that a liberal, non-fundamentalist, black guy is running for President and might beat which ever WASP rich boy candidate they come up with.
His website is at http://www.barackobama.com/ - they give a brief overview of what his policies are. They also give a biography of Obama.

he is an Illinois senator. He is new in the senate but a politician for a while in il. He is very smart an talks very good. He is really interesting to listen to even if you are from another political party. He opposes the war and wants a national health care. He is of both African and Caucasian heritage and his name was changed to Barrack because it means something like peace in Kenyan. I think he is worth listening to.

Osama bin Laden's cousin.
His real name is Barak Obama bin Laden, but he dropped the end because it was too close to his cousin's name.
He is not a very good politician, and he has introduced very controversial resolutions in the Senate, including one that would make it illegal to ask for ID at the voting booth.
