OK, I usually don't get involved in political discussions but here's one to good to pass up: Name one legislative accomplishment of Obama, heres the ground rules just being elected is not an accomplishment and purposing ideas is also not an accomploshment. Seems like common since but its not. Good luck.
"Some Say" that those who support Obama do so without a clue, and do so because of a "Svengali" effect his has on his "cult".
I say that it is unfortunate, in this age of the Internet, that folks aren’t able to inform themselves, yet are able to post on a Political blog to have a say.
I have done my research on Sen. Obama, and so have many of the others who support him. Maybe that is why he is attracting the most educated progressives in this nation; maybe it is because they do their homework, and do not rely on name recognition to determine whom to vote for.
So to inform you, please note the following articles that sum up some of what Barack has “done” in his last 11 years in public office. Considering that Obama may be the Democratic Nominee, I believe that it is important for you, as a public voice, to be informed:
His bold legislative work on the Illinois Death Penalty, and how he made a difference between life and death:
His sponsorship of a bill that brought health insurance to 150,000, including 70,000 uninsured Children, again, during his time serving in the Illinois Statehouse:
His work on both the Immigration bill during his time in the US senate and his sponsorship of Ethics legislation (something he did both while in the State House, and in the Senate) that called for some of the most impactful reform regarding lobbyists since Watergate (as he likes to term it):
and his sponsored and co sponsored Bills in the U.S. Senate.......which include worthwhile bills dealing with a wide range of issues, from Election reform bills to the Cooperative Proliferation Detection reduction Act (w/t Sen. Lugar) to Internet database transparency Act.
/ (Select Obama’s name from the Senator drop down)
This does not lists all of his accomplishments, nor does it deals with his accomplishments prior to entering elected office.
Bottomline, it is Hillary’s accomplishments since her Senate tenure that are not clear. She’s been there longer than Barack, and still has done underwhelming little compared to Obama’s accomplishments in less years.
In addition, if the way Hillary has ran her campaign, without a Plan B, is any indication of how she will run our White House, I say, I’ll pass. Obama has shown that he can produce results under enormous odds (see his campaign and what it accomplished), and that in itself speaks more to who will truly be “ready from day one”.
Do your homework BRO! Don't listen so must to the Clinton machine

Ok who said anything about Clinton? And those are bills he sponsered or worked on, but what has he actually gotten done? And who says bro anymore

All this shows is that Sen. Watson is an idiot that didnt do his homework! most of the people behind Obama are the better educated people. Is why he has such strong college student support.

This isnt about Clinton. it is what Obama has backed and done. No one person does anything alone. have to have congress and house backing. Same for either party.
But if you cant take time to read the facts... Why did you ask?
