Barack Hussein Obama

The US House of Representatives has passed a compromise tax bill averting a New Year rise in income taxes for millions of Americans.

The deal forged by the White House and Republicans also extends benefit payments for some of the longer-term unemployed for 13 months.

The Senate passed the bill on Wednesday but its chances of passing the lower chamber had been seen as less certain.

Haha..!! :P

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has long enjoyed a reputation as a powerful public speaker. From first gaining national attention at the as the keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention to his 2008 Democratic National Convention acceptance speech, Obama's words never fail to deliver a powerful message.

Hillary Clinton, the woman who once seemed a shoo-in to receive the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, now stands firmly behind fellow Democrat Barack Obama in his bid for the presidency, and urges her supports to join her in helping Obama win the White House.

Speaking before a crowd at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., Hillary Clinton pressed for unity among Democrats in order to achieve a greater goal.

In his 2006 book The Audacity of Hope, Barack Obama explores themes he initially raised in his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He also shares his personal views on family, faith and values, and his vision for a future that "repairs a political process that is broken." He also writes, with surprising candor, about adjusting to life as a senator, trying to balance the demands of public service with family life, and his own deepening commitment to religion.

Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance by Barack Obama

Barack Obama's 1995 book, Dreams from My Father, is a memoir about growing up the son of a black African father and caucasian mother, and explores issues of identity, class and race. It also chronicles his early career, and his journey as a young African-American searching to find his place in the world. The book was reprinted in 2004 with a new preface and an annex containing the text of his 2004 Democratic Convention keynote speech. The audio book edition earned Barack the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album.
Excerpt from Dreams from My Father:

In 2004, Illinois State Senator Barack Obama was running for an open seat on the U.S. Senate. Midway through his campaign, he gave the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in Boston in support of John Kerry. The 20-minute speech quickly elevated him to a nationally known political figure, leaving political analysts to speculate on a future presidential bid. Later that year, he was elected to the U.S. Senate with a landslide 70% of the vote. The text of his address, titled "The Audacity of Hope," follows here.

Barack Obama is a Christian.

Since declaring his candidacy for president, misconceptions about his religion are one point he and his campaign have continually fought to correct. From assertions that he's a Muslim to rumors that he received training in Islam while he lived in Indonesia as a child, these rumors have been used to spark fear about him. And despite Obama's denials, rumors and e-mails about his Muslim and Islamic ties continue to circulate on the Internet. Here are the facts:

Barack Obama's relatives reach far beyond his wife and two daughters who are based in Illinois. In fact, his diverse relatives are scattered all around the globe.

Obama, the Democratic senator from Illinois, is the son of Barack Obama, Sr., a senior economist in the Kenyan government who died in a car accident in 1982. His father grew up in the rural village of Nyangoma Kogalo, which is in Western Kenya near the shores of Lake Victoria. He herded goats before winning a scholarship to study in the US. He is now buried in that same quiet village.

1) Barack Obama is "palling around" with terrorists.

ALLEGATION: Obama is sympathetic to domestic terrorists, since his home in Chicago is in the same neighborhood as 60's radical William Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn, and the two have also worked together. Ayers and Dohrn, former members of the radical Weather Underground, a group that carried out a string of bombings of federal buildings, spent 10 years as fugitives before all charges were eventually dropped. Ayers and Dohrn both eventually became professors in Chicago.

$1,000 Tax Cut for Middle Class American Families
Obama and Biden will cut income taxes by $1,000 for working families, because the economy needs to be revitalized from the bottom up, not top down.

Energy Rebates
Obama and Biden will enact a windfall profits tax on excessive oil company profits to give American families an immediate $1,000 emergency energy rebate to help families pay rising bills.

Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961, to Barack Obama, Sr. and Ann Dunham. His parents met while attending the University of Hawaii, where his father was enrolled as a foreign student. His mother was from heartland-of-the-U.S. Kansas, and his father from Kenya. Barack's parents eventually divorced, and after his mother remarried, he lived in Indonesia for a time before returning to Hawaii to live with his grandparents. He later moved to New York, where he graduated from Columbia University in 1983.

I'm a Christian by choice. My family didn't—frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. And my mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew, but she didn't raise me in the church. So I came to my Christian faith later in life, and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead—being my brothers' and sisters' keeper, treating others as they would treat me. I think also understanding that Jesus Christ dying for my sins spoke to the humility we all have to have as human beings, that we're sinful and we're flawed and we make mistakes, and that we achieve salvation through the grace of God. But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people and do our best to help them find their own grace. That's what I strive to do. That's what I pray to do every day. I think my public service is part of that effort to express my Christian faith.

In a 2006 interview, Obama highlighted the diversity of his extended family: "It's like a little mini-United Nations", he said. "I've got relatives who look like Bernie Mac, and I've got relatives who look like Margaret Thatcher."Obama has seven half-siblings from his Kenyan father's family – six of them living – and a half-sister with whom he was raised, Maya Soetoro-Ng, the daughter of his mother and her
