Barack Obama is a savvy, charismatic, articulate liberal who could very well be the Democratic Party’s best hope for recapturing the White House. His background is intriguingly diverse. Born in Hawaii in 1961 to a black father and a white mother, his early education took place in the most densely populated Islamic country in the world, Indonesia. He holds an undergraduate degree from Columbia and a law degree from Harvard, where he was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review.
But let’s take a look at just where he stands on a few of the key issues:
Abortion — Barack Obama is a radical, pro-abortion liberal. He believes that American women should have an unfettered right to destroy the babies in their wombs at any stage and for any reason.
Gun Control — Again, Obama is among the more extreme members of the U.S. Senate. In the last year, he has voted against shielding firearms manufacturers from lawsuits due to gun violence and in favor of legislation that would ban the sale or transfer of any and all semi-automatic firearms.
Health Care — Obama has said he believes that health care is a basic human right. (Funny, I must have missed that one in the Bill of Rights.)
Immigration — As an Illinois state senator in 1998, Obama voted to give welfare and Medicaid to immigrants.
Judges — Obama voted against the nominations of both John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court, and participated in the filibuster of Alito.
National Security — The junior senator from Illinois voted against reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act.
Obama is smart enough to dance around these votes should he decide to run for president, cloaking his liberal positions in reasonable sounding rhetoric about a new generation with new ideas, etc., but he is also liberal enough to be the most dangerous man in America if he is elected.
