I'm not even going to touch what WendyCal is saying about Obama's job as a senator. It is obvious that she has no idea what is involved in position, and what is out of the jurisdiction of the position, so I'll leave it be.
As for the question of Obama's stance on abortion. Many of the bills that the republican party have been using to sway people away from Obama in the abortion argument are not being explained in full. In the example you quoted, that of partial birth abortion, Obama voted no on the bill because there was no clause excepting the circumstance that there was to be severe danger to the mother. Now if you or someone you loved were pregnant, and it was a matter of aborting the baby or saving the mother's life, wouldn't you want to have that choice? Had that bill passed, that choice would not have been available.
Had you done any research at all, and not just listened to fox news and taken the information ver batim as complete truth, you might be a bit more informed on the issue.
edit: having just had a second look at your last post, I'd like to know where that once excerpt from US News.com came from. It sounds very much like an editorial or letter to the editor, and if that is the case, IS NOT FACT! An editorial is simply an opinion written in by someone with no more credibility than anyone else. You can not use an editorial to back your statements. It is no different than saying "well, my friend agrees with my stance, so there's backup for my argument."
and while we're on the subject of sources, Why not post the link to the actual page on which you found your information? none of us have the time to go digging through thousands of news articles in the archives of that site, so until we can actually view the article and look at the quotes in context, your "citing" has absolutely no value.
