well, the essay topic is "who should be elected
america's next president" and my choice was
barack obama, i'm a junior in high school, and i'm
kind of lost on what to put in this essay, but if you
can give me any help of any sort, like, his backgrounds,
what's he's for & against, anything, that'd be awesome,
i've been sick all this week, and i haven't been keeping
up with any of the presidential stuff at all this week
so i'm totally lost as to what to put, thanks!

yup, if you want to write an essay about him, you can go to his campaign page or his Senate page
http://www.barackobama.com/index.php
http://obama.senate.gov/
(by the way, he has ALWAYS been a Christian (if that matters to you, not to me), he loves America and has voted that way in the Senate, he always has spoken against the Iraq war (even before the invasion in 2003), and he may not wear a flag pin like every nervous senator wanting to look patriotic, but Obama is right that words and actions should be patriotic, not apparel.

One angle is cover how Obama could campaign on a message of unity and transcendence over race, yet still attend a separatist church and be mentored by a racist anti-American pastor for 20yrs. The final analysis could be that Obama's unity message is false and was used to get votes. His actions of attending this church for so long contradicts his message of unity.

This site should help you on where he stands on the issues:

Stick man- You have no idea what you're talking about, do you.
verda- Same goes for you, where exactly are people coming up with this crap? Obama's a Muslim? He doesn't recite the Pledge? He's already explained why he won't wear the pin.
EDIT: Well verda I've already done my homework, where's yours?:

Please re-think your thoughts that Obama should be elected president. He is for granting amnesty to the illegal criminal aliens in this country now and giving them everything a legal citizen has had to work for. The Dream Act is another bill he wants passed, which would make the legal citizen's children second class citizens. Please re-think.

you could start by telling it like it is with Osama, he is a Muslim trying to pass himself off as a Christan, but,his actions show he is anything but, he pretends he is all American yet won't pledge allegiance to our flag, or wear a lapel with the American flag on it, nor stand and show his respect for our country while they play the NATIONAL ANTHEM, so what can you say good about some one like this? he is a wolf in sheep's clothing period, yet he wants to be president of this country, WHY? has he got some evil plans for us????
liberals love America?? youmust not have been doing your home work or you would agree with stick man,

well he was educated in indonesia, and while Obama denies it he is probably a muslim. I fear he will chop off our heads for al-queda if elected. Google Barrack Husein Obama, get caught up... good luck. for encouragement, listen to ttb.org.
