Where does Obama stand on contraceptives?
President Obama believes in the importance of family planning, and also believes it is acceptable to use contraception, as long as a person's religious beliefs permit it. But personal choice is the key: he believes that whether to use (or not use) contraceptives is up to the individual, and should not be decided by the government. In addition, he believes that health plans should cover products for men (such as Viagra) and products for women (such as birth control pills) equally.
What is obama's stance on military pay raises?
He supports them, but with certain limitations. President Obama has advocated for (and proposed) military pay raises each year. The problem is that the raises are tied to the economy, so some years, the raises have been very small. Typical raises during his administration have ranged from a low of 1.4% to a high of 3.2%. There are also internet myths that claim the president advocated for a pay freeze for the troops. But fact-checking sites looked into this and found it was false.

How did Barack Obama's parents pay for private school?
When he was in Indonesia, at first his mother home-schooled him. Later, he attended a government run school, which did not seem to be expensive; by that time both his mom and step-father had good jobs. In Hawaii, after his mother became ill, Barack was raised by his maternal grandmother and grandfather: they were solidly middle to upper middle class, and in fact, his grandmother had a very good job, so they seem to have been able to afford to send him to a private school; on the other hand, he might have gotten some financial aid, which many private schools make available.
Did Republicans sign a pact in the early days of the Obama administration to get him out of office?
There are a number of political observers who believe this is true, including reporter Robert Draper, who wrote a 2012 book about it, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives." Draper documents a strategy that began as soon as the president was elected, and cites interviews with numerous congressional sources, about meetings held to formulate a plan to win back the white house by making it impossible for the president to govern and denying him even the smallest success. While Draper has been accused of being a Democratic partisan, it should be noted that even some moderate Republican columnists and political theorists have noted the paralysis in congress and have agreed with Draper's central thesis. In a widely read piece based on their new book, two political writers (one from a liberal think tank, and one from a conservative think tank) came to the same conclusion: that Republicans as a party were in fact intentionally obstructing everything (I enclose the link to their piece).
Not everyone agrees with these assertions, but there is certainly some evidence to support them. There have been many quotes from Republican leaders (and Republican talk show hosts) about wanting to make sure President Obama would not be re-elected, beginning with when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) said "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." There have also been news stories about an unofficial agreement by Republicans to obstruct everything the president wanted to do. This caused Republicans in congress to begin opposing even those policies they had supported under President Bush, as well as setting a record for the most filibusters, preventing all kinds of legislation from even being voted on. Such actions gave critics of the Republicans more reason to believe their actions were part of an organized political strategy.

Does Barack Obama think he has a messianic mission?
Obama's Church has a relious doctrine that whites are the Antichrist and that white society should be destroyed "by any means necessary", even by means of deceit and violence, according to James H. Cone, the founder of Black Liberation Theology. If he believes in the religious doctrine of his "Church", of which he was a prominent member for twenty years and only left when it became a political liability, then he has a mission to destroy racist white society. That is the religious belief of his "former" church. See this link for info: http://joeklempner.wordpress.com/helter-skelter/ For an accurate answer, one must consult President Obama himself.

Does Obama check the box for malotta?
Actually, this is another example of how times have changed. I assume you mean "mulatto," an old word for someone of mixed race. 100 years ago, this was a very common term, and it was even used on census forms. But these days, the word is rarely used. Instead, "biracial" is much more common. I do not know whether there was a box for "biracial" when the future president was growing up, so I don't know how he filled out his census forms.
But it should be noted that Mr. Obama seems to identify with being African-American, which is another aspect of American culture-- in the old days, even if you had only one or two black ancestors, the culture still considered you black. The president has certainly never denied the white side of his family-- he was raised by his white grandparents, whom he loved dearly. But because he had dark skin and certain facial features associated with being black, that is what society decided that he was.
Why is there so little information on Obama's past?
This is another internet myth, spread by his political opponents and by the "Birthers." Actually, there is a large amount of information about the president's past. We know about his childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia, we know about how he felt about his father's lack of involvement in his life, we know about his close relationship with the grandparents who raised him, we know about the mistakes he made and the many achievements he had, we know about his political career, and his relationship with his wife and daughters. I am not sure what information you believe is not available, because there are many news organizations that have reported on his life quite extensively.
