This is a home made video about a family’s choice to support Obama and it is really great.

Obama (and Biden) Have No Clue About What's Bothering Their Political Base
Shortly before the California Democratic primary in 2008, the San Fransisco Chronicle invited me to write a short article explaining why I, chair of the interfaithNetwork of Spiritual Progressives, was supporting Barack Obama. Like most other progressive activists, I understood that a pres

I find it to be purely bs that major personal events in this family’s life are so conveniently linked to world events. “My son was born the day the death toll in Iraq reached 2000″. Here’s another coincidence: I was born 33 years before Sept. 11 and in that time I grew an internal bs detector.
If you elect Barack Obama and the world gets even lousier, he’ll probably let you have a late term or even an early term abortion. Who’d want kids being born while bad things were happening, after all?

Michael, there is a recall notice out on your crap detector; its logic circuit has blown out and is ignoring your blatant contradiction.
The couple in the video clearly were willing to have childred in bad times that continued to get worse. They are not looking to terminate pregnancies.
By the way, President Obama has no call on permitting early term, or late term, abortions. That is the law of the land and has been for about 35 years at least in the U.S.A.

Nice video. Good to see some rational ways to expressing thoughts.
No matter who wins this election, it would be nice to see sane people on a religious blog site acting like religious people again. the hatred that is so evident in people’s hearts nowadays is a terrifying thing to read and witness in such a great country. Just because you don’t give your real name doesn’t mean that people can’t see how ugly people can truly be. God Bless…..
