President Barack Obama in Chicago

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.

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.

Mr President, I was deeply moved seeing you at the arrival of those fallen soldier's home coming. My comrade in arms were also deeply touched is showed that even after making the supreme sacrifice they were remembered and honored by the nation's highest office.....It takes away the images of arriving in the cold of night with only a unknown detail to receive you back

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

Dear friends!

Our sister Natalia Nikolaevna prayed within 2 years and asked God to help people to find means for the cancer treatment, predicted by Vanga.

The prediction of Vanga sounds so:
?Day will come, and the cancer will be chained in iron chains?

And recently there was a miracle:
God has answered her prayers !

New means for cancer treatment is called
?Ferran? (from Latin ?Ferrum? - Iron).

?Ferran? is harmless, has no collateral actions,
it is exclusively effective at such pathologies as:

Oncology: all kinds, forms and cancer stages.

This information, Thanks to grace of God and thanks to Natalia Nikolaevna's prayers
has been found on a site:

http:// www.ferran.ru/

On this site there is a detailed description of ?Ferran?,
the list of illnesses at which it is useful for applying.

Hurrah!
The predicted means for the cancer treatment, containing iron !

? What it seemed impossible,
Really can come true ?
Really tomorrow we shall come?! ?

With gratitude for your patience,
your Peter.

Moscow.

Dear Mr. president,
Thank you for making me proud to be an African American! No, matter what criticisms you get. Remember they crucified our Lord and you know he was the best. Hold your head up high and know you are loved by so many, especially me! I work with the OFA and enjoy it.

You are So Powerful
You are so powerful...

This morning when you awoke you made a choice, the first thought in your head became your choice. how you percieved , intereperted and reacted to that thought was your choice . You choose, you chose , it was a sub-concious concious decision unbeknowst to you.
When the thought was developing in your brain you reacted automatically the way you do most often.The point at which the thought is percieved determines the emotional outcome.
In order to control your thought process you must first slow down your process of perception in regards to your thoughts. How you percieve and process the data that fills your brain as a result of past,present and future events is in all actuality a choice. I am happy today because I choose to be. I lay comfortably in the bosom of my Father and his will knowing that it's all good because it's all God. Your perception is key, some people view the greatest event of all time as the most tragic. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Bottomline, it was a great Idea because My Great God came up with it. He knew that by having his son crucified he would bless the good and curse the evil, my Father is brilliant.
I can only dream to be as great as my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the way he took all of that pain, the way he suffered honorably for our sins. A champion for all. Rejoice I said for the will of the Father is being done.Don't get struck down for grumbling against the will of the Father like the hebrew isralites when moses lead them out of captivity. Rejoice I said.
Choose, make a concious choice to be happy, to except your Father's will and move forward . Apply positive actions to your faith and watch as the mountains move. Oh my God, You are so powerful.
