There.
That should keep the thread alive for a while....
Silly as it is, that's one of my motives especially after hearing some people drop the "N" bomb when refering to him. I also think it would be good for my son who is also biracial like Obama. Silly reason I know.
I'm also just sick of McCan't and his multiple failed attempts at the presidency.
Ahh who am I kidding? I would have voted for the democrat anyway

Are people still so freakin' racist in this country that the thought of a black president is that much of a problem? Holy freakin' crap. I must live under a rock.
Can't people not like Obama for reasons other than that they're racists or extreme right wingers? Like maybe they think he's about as qualified to be President of the United States as I am? And I have as much chance of being elected President as the bimbette of the month has of blowing the Pope.
If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve. Unless I get Bill Clinton's bimbo posse. With a lifetime supply of paper bags to put over their heads because most of them are so f'ugly.

Racism is so 20th century.
Unfortunately, yes they are. It's really sad to listen to some of these people because they just sound so stupid when they open their mouths.
Who's got that much free time to hate like that?

You do realize there are no government regulations preventing stem cell research don't you? There are some people that just do not believe tax dollars should be spent for this type of activity. Barack seems to hold the same beliefs as you concerning abortion, oddly enough he doesn't even mention Stem Cell Research on his site. That does surprise me. Personally I'm not opposed to stem cell research just government funding. I currently have investments in three different stem cell companies. Can I still enjoy the benefits of the research even though I am opposed to government funding?
Here is the Obama position on Stem Cell research. Ironic that he is concerned about saving embryos from being needlessly destroyed, but is in favor of destroying fetuses.
Advance Stem Cell Research: Despite recent advances pointing to alternatives like adult stem cell and cord
blood, embryonic stem cells remain unmatched in their potential for treatment of a wide variety of diseases and
health conditions. Barack Obama has been a long-term supporter of increased stem cell research. He introduced
legislation while a member of the Illinois Senate that would allow embryonic stem cell research in Illinois.
Obama has cosponsored legislation to allow greater federal government funding on a wider array of stem cell
lines. Obama believes we need high ethical standards that allow for research on stem cells derived from
embryos produced for in vitro fertilization, embryos that would otherwise be needlessly destroyed.
I know. But it would sound better when the candidate says it that way. I exaggerated. Satire. There are folks who want stem cell research banned no matter who pays.
Most of the public wouldn't be like you and actually look up what the position is.
