President Barack Obama in Chicago

Barack Obama at the 2008 DNC

I was fortunate to be able to grow up seeing America from varied viewpoints. My childhood was spent in Hawaii and Indonesia. After college I worked as a community organizer on the South side of Chicago focusing on improving living conditions in poor neighborhoods.

I came to understand that to truly solve the problems facing our communities, it would take a change in our laws and our politics. I ran and served for seven years in the Illinois state Senate, where I fought for expanding children's health care, providing tax cuts for the working poor and enacting welfare reform. In 2004, I was elected to the U.S. Senate, where I have worked to pass laws securing dangerous weapons and making government more accountable. I have also opposed the Iraq war from the start, and believe that we need to bring our troops home so we can refocus on the wider struggle against terrorism.

Of all my life experiences, I am most proud of my wife Michelle and my daughters Malia and Sasha.

The Venus Project presents a bold, new direction for humanity that entails nothing less than the total redesign of our culture. There are many people today who are concerned with the serious problems that face our modern society: unemployment, violent crime, replacement of humans by technology, over-population and a decline in the Earth's ecosystems.

As you will see, The Venus Project is dedicated to confronting all of these problems by actively engaging in the research, development, and application of workable solutions. Through the use of innovative approaches to social awareness, educational incentives, and the consistent application of the best that science and technology can offer directly to the social system, The Venus Project offers a comprehensive plan for social reclamation in which human beings, technology, and nature will be able to coexist in a long-term, sustainable state of dynamic equilibrium.

Hello Everyone,

President Obama is the hardest President in our time. Over several years ,some people have done what it pleases. .

As you know , it's hard to show some people the truth; due to the fact they have done wrong.... far too long. As result our country had lose jobs to another country.

United States unemployment is 10.2 %. Some business are not hiring employee due to fear that it will damage one finance.; or maybe engage in strategy that associations to a "dead fish" (get along.. drama) Therefore, Stimulate Package may be slow for some people. Accord to several media ,portion of stimulate money was paid in bonuse, instead for loans to small business people and other. Money is need to grow this economic ..

American people have paid a enorous price.... for foolish practices. I must say, it is hard show some people the truth; because these practice have been done wrong... far too long. As result, our country had lose jobs to other country. However, I am still praying for American people..

Mr. President Obama, Please continue lift your heart to God.. And do right....and God will evict evil doers . God bless you.

Hi Everyone,
A landmark healthcare bill was passing by the house. I am praise God choosing President Obama and administration to address the American people needs.. I am happy pre-existence conidition was added to the bill. Maybe our love ones with cancers, pregnant women and other patient continue receiving medical help.

Ironically over past years the wars have cost tax payers money. Now is the time to invest in healthcare system in America. Beside, our men and women in uniform will need assistance , as well.

Rep Joseph Cao, is right Louisianan need an option for primary care, for mental healthcar and expanded health care for senior and children. I pray the people will not criticize Rep. Cao. Badly.. I believe, he was doing what is right for Louisiana and other states.

Thank you, President Obama

Congratulations again to you Mr. President you've done a great job in such a short time, but what im trying to figure out is why some of the people want a quick fix in such a short time, they've got to remember is the economy was already in bad shape before you took office its gonna take awhile before it takes off. so these critics should shut their gob so you can do your job!

Hello Mr President: I have a question, What are the Republicians and others expecting you to be able to accomplish in the 1 year of the election that has not been able to be done by former president. I watch the news and read some reports but is very confuse with all the negective reactions you encounter since you have been in office. My name is Robin E. Williams (44), To me you are doing a excellent job for the time you have been there and the family is great in showing that you are a real family not just for show. Don't let them get to much because you have alot of people be hide you and in front.

Thank You, and my God continue to guide and protect you
