President -Elect Obama : Part V
He created a state earned-income
tax credit for the working poor,
Sometimes helping them door to door.
In 2000 Obama made a Democratic
primary run which he didn't win,
Following the 9/11 attacks
Obama was an early opponent of
President Bush's
Push to the war with Iraq,
Obama was still a state
senator when he spoke, words
I doubt he'd take back.
"I am not opposed to all wars.
I'm opposed to dumb wars,"he said.
The war with Iraq began in 2003,
Obama ran for
U.S. Senate the next year,
He won 52 percent
of the vote defeating multimillionaire
Blair Hull and Illinios
Comptroller
Hynes without fear.
