I thank Obama because ...He has had the courage to stand up for freedom of religion. I'm not Muslim but I believe in religious freedom.He has had the courage to stand up for health care for people who can't afford it. I have health care but not all my friends and family members do. I am not so selfish and petty to see children go without preventive care or adults become progressively sicker just so I can have a few dollars more to be some trinket I don't need.Because he supported the stimulus bill which has provided jobs and business.
