Obama kicks off campaign with ‘uniting’ speech

Barack Obama’s presidential campaign kickoff speech was held in Springfield, Illinois. He chose the town where Abraham Lincoln lived when he became president in 1861.

Further trying to ride on the coattails of Abraham Lincoln, Obama (pictured) portrayed himself as a black man “evoking Abraham Lincoln's ability to unite a nation.”

Obama also said he wants to ‘transform’ America, whatever that means -- the article, at the link below, does not say.

The junior Senator from Illinois failed to mention in his speech that he was given the name Barack Hussein Obama by his Islamic father who left the family and moved back to Kenya when Obama was a very small child.

He also did not mention that his new stepfather, an Indonesian student, put him in a Madrassa in Jakarta where he was raised as a Muslim until he was 10 years old.
