Disability rights
Obama was the only Democratic presidential candidate to issue an unsolicited statement expressing his views on disability community issues.For example, he stated his intention to sign the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and expressed his support of the ADA Restoration
Racial issues
Obama opposes offering reparations to the descendants of slaves. "I have said in the past – and I'll repeat again – that the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed," Obama said. An apology for slavery would be appropriate but not particularly helpful in improving the lives of African Americans, he said. Reparations could also be a distraction, Obama said. "I consistently believe that when it comes to whether it's Native Americans or African-American issues or reparations, the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds," Obama told a meeting in Chicago in July 2008.
LGBT in the military
He also stated his opposition to the United States' military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy, and signed a bill repealing it during his Presidency.
LGBT and hate crimes
On October 28, 2009 Obama signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which added gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability to the federal hate crimes law.
LGBT and anti-discrimination laws
Obama has said that he would sign into law the Employment Non-Discrimination Act which if passed would prohibit discrimination in hiring and employment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

LINCOLN’S FAMOUS QUOTE AND ITS INSPIRATION:
“We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
President Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
