    I was supporting Obama before it was the cool thing to do.

    ...:lol: I've been supporting him since he first "came out." Something about him "spoke" to me, and now that I'm going to have a chance to vote for him, I'm going to.

    Yep, I was supporting him even before he officially announced his candidacy. :lol:

    As have I. I've supported him since his website was just a puny little thing with a video saying he was thinking of running for president. This man has always had my respect, and I will vote for him in the primaries.

    (Pssst...put his banner in your sig will. *innocent* http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/downloads)

    And Anya, when you're free just view his site. I am happy you are giving who you're voting for some serious thought and are researching all candidates first before voting because that shows you are responsible and don't just 'go with the flow'.

    Go Anya! :p

    Thank you. <3

    Yeah I'm definitely going to give this year some serious thought, seeing as how this is my first year to vote. I'm looking at Obama's and Hilary's site now. Hilary's views aren't bad but Obama's views so far I think are far more interesting. His ideas to help Global Warming is much more structured that Hilary's and it seems he can help more on that issue that she can, and Global Warming is a huge deal for me. I'm still going to read more up on it though.

    The first thing I heard about Obama though was that he's 'somewhat' related to Osama Binladen (sp?). If so, I really don't care. I heard he was a very far relative of him anyway, and It seems prejudice to consider him as a bad person just because he may be related to him. He seems like a great person to me. I'm just wondering if what I said is true though, is it?

    I bet it's just a really stupid rumor just because the names sound similar.

    It's because he's got a similar-sounding name. I'm more than sure he's not related to bin Laden, though.

    When he first came out everyone was making a huge deal out of their names sounding similar. He even came right out and asked that people stop that because there's no reason for him to be associated with such a man.

    That's what I thought.. It just seemed strange to me that people would say he's related to Osama, because it just seemed like the only reason people were saying that was because the names sounded similar. He looks nothing like him either. Psh, idiots. Ah well.

    Although his legal full name is Barack Hussein Obama, he's not related to Bin Laden or Saddam Hussein at all.

    These were all smear tactics by people who were fans of other candidates and wanted to tarnish Obama's name. They've been proven false by CNN and I think it was the ever so trustworthy FOX News (*gag*) that first brought out these false rumors to the public. Every bit of it is a lie.

    Figured. :p

    I'm glad I can tell my Dad this though now. He didn't want to even consider voting for Obama because of that rumor, stupidly enough.

    Which was why the rumor was started, to sway voters.

    Let him know that Obama's father was a black Kenyan man and that his mother was a white American woman. Therefore there was no way Osama or Hussein's blood could even be running through his veins.

    You could ask your professors if you can take your exams a day earlier, on the basis that you're going to a third-world country to build an elementary school for sick children.

    No one would EVER question that. :lol:

    Can I just say how much I love QoS? Now if my roommates are hogging the available bandwidth with BitTorrent, my computer's packets get priority over theirs. Now it doesn't feel like I'm on dial up :lol:

    I just realized that, if the Browns were to beat the Patriots this weekend, it's going to be considered the biggest upset of the year... Because, come on, it's the Browns. :lol:
