This blog posting is making the email rounds of muslims. I am sure many muslims are supporting it and are happily forwarding it all over. Thats fine. People have a right to support whatever.
I do believe that Obama is a very good speaker. Beyond that I am quite wary of everything else here. The best thing going for Obama is that he is not Bush and McCain is even scarier. Anyway…
My comments are in blue.
===================================
Top 10 Reasons to Support Barack Obama
- He is the only presidential candidate who voted against the war in Iraq, his foreign policy record shows he voted for bills that plan to end the war in Iraq, gradually withdrawing troops, engage in diplomacy with Iran not war. He is against torture/abuse of any kind of criminals whether at home or abroad.
He didn’t vote against jack. He was not even a Senator at that time. He made a speech opposing the war. Thats about it. Can he actually bring the troops home…? you wanna bet?
- His campaign did not take one penny from lobbyists or corporate interest groups
Oh well, we really don’t know that now, do we? 
- Provide universal health care, nearly 47 million americans lack healthcare coverage, his health care plan helped 3 million children in the state of Illinois.
Yes, and who will pay for that? Correct, you and me. Can we cheer even louder!
- Obama has plans for our energy independence and creating more jobs from clean (clean fuel, alternative fuel) technology.
I have plans to go to moon. Three more cheers!
- Tax relief for the middle class by providing “making work pay” tax cut. Expand child & dependent care tax credit as well as expand the earned income tax credit (EIC), which he implemented in the state of Illinois that provided 100 million of tax cuts to families
By the definition provided to me, I am not “middle class” any more, so my taxes are going up. Dammit!
- Help small business succeed by cutting self employed tax, providing health care for those who has their own business, eliminate capital gain taxes for start-up business, expand loan programs for small businesses.
Cheers!
- Create universal mortgage credit which means more Americans will be able to afford to buy a home, for ex: his 10 percent credit will benefit an additional 10 million homeowners, the majority of whom earn less than $50,000 per year.
Some one some where pays for all this, I am sure. Is it us?
- Make math and science education a national priority. Improve our education in schools by providing K12 plan-incentives for good teachers, support college outreach programs, tax credit for college students & their families which will make going to community colleges absolutely tuition free.
As I said, I have plans to go to moon. Anyway, more cheers!
- Invest in sciences & technology: Obama will double federal funding of basic research & innovation.
Yes, double the funding. Money is aplenty. The huge federal surplus is just waiting to be invested.
- And lastly, he began a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world. And knowing the threat we face to our economy and our security from America’s addiction to oil, he’s working to bring auto companies, unions, farmers, businesses and politicians of both parties together to promote the greater use of alternative fuels.
Two different things. The first part of this giant claim appears to suggest an attack on rogue nuclear states (anyone say, Pakistan?), and the second is the best pipe dream this side of Atlantic.
Now more than ever, Barack Obama needs your help. The battle has just begun.
