Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Well, you can try http://www.gunbanobama.com/ though of course that's a highly one-sided site (as if others aren't
.) I'd prefer the presentation to be a bit lower-key, but maybe that's just me.
The bottom like, though, is that while Obama has been clearly on the strongly anti-gun side his entire career, there isn't any specific plan that he's set forward in his presidential campaign as far as I can tell. Surely post-Heller, and until the composition of the Supreme Court changes again, there's not much he could do, and most definitely anything serious he tried to do via executive fiat would be swiftly struck down.
That's still no reason to vote for him, however: like so many other issues this time around, the choice is between one candidate who isn't all that good, and one who is positively dreadful.

Nope; factcheck.org seems neither accurate nor impartial on this issue.

Wow; I'm completely opposed to Obama as a candidate, but do you have a cite for that statement?

That's a rather long way of saying "No".

The question wasn't "Are you sure?" It was "Do you have a citation?"
Saying "I saw it somewhere a while ago" is not a citation.
Really, no offense meant--but if I'm going to mention this elsewhere, I really need to be able to say such-and-such a media outlet published this (either web link or date and page #); I can't really go around saying, "Some guy who posts under a pseudonym at opencarry.org says that it's true."

I also heard John McCain said that he'll put all ACLU members in concentration camps. And no, I don't have to prove it. This is the internet, and I can say anything I want without having to back it up.

It is true and the book title is "The Audacity of Hope" which is the title he also used duringhis speech at the2004 Democratic convention and alsothe title of a sermon by Reverend Wright.Obama's allegiance and viewpoint seem to have changed rather dramatically since he started his run for president though.

Ifner,
I know what the title of Obama's book is, and the source for the title. What I'm trying to track down is any authoritative documentation of this claim:
There is plenty of unfavorable things said about Obama in the item you linked to, but nothing related to the above item. Can you provide an actual source citation?

Google is your friend...
“In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans … have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging,” he laments. “I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Thanks, Steve!
As far as that statement is concerned, it's a whole lot tamer than what Bear implied, and given all the other more serious negatives on Obama's scorecard, it hardly seems to matter. If (as a conterfactual) he were in every other way equivalent to McCain, then sure, that statement might cause me to reject him, as it puts him somewhat into the "Yes, the Constitution is a Suicide Pact" camp. But note that someone who has named his living quarters after after a certain political concept might well disagree with me at that point! :?
