and will turn to entrenched democrat political machinery (of the
despicable Chicago kind) for all his work?

Do you have a citation for that wild claim?

That's a recipe for disaster. But you're too blind to see the big
picture. The country, and likely the world, will be worse off for your
myopia.

And we're better off with the Bush/McCain policies?

McCain isn't Bush, lies by Obama otherwise.

O RLY? Want me to list all the legislation that he authored and passed?

The United States is an enterprise?

No, he is a Bush with cancer and a slut puppy as
his running mate.

McCain has no executive experience. Obama has no executive experience.
Whatever the hell executive experience is.

Authoring legislation is hardly a qualifier for the Presidency.

Given that both candidates lack executive experience, I want the
smartest guy in the room as President.

It's truly sad so many are afraid of smart people.

Bush had executive experience.

And he still wasn't qualified.

John Cleese was on Countdown the other night, and he said that he
didn't want a President he could have a beer with, he wanted a
Pressident so brilliant, so well-informed, that Cleese would be afraid
to open his mouth for fear of showing what an idiot he is.

Watch it yourself, seeing John Cleese doubled over in laughter is
great.

I saw that, too.

Cleese is pretty smart himself, so coming from him, I think he lends a
lot of credibility to smartest guy in the room point of view.

Thanks for the link. It was fun watching again.

Olbermann may have given the most truthful assessment: that his salary
is paid by the manufactured controversy.

There is hardly a whit of difference between the two RepubliCrat candidates.

If you know anything about econcomics you would not say that.

Under one, we have a chance to get out of this credit disaster, under
the other - not a prayer. Kiss your job goodby.

Oh, I would like to see a list of *any* authored by him.

For good or ill, there is the quite prominent McCain-Feingold act.

Okay, there's an EASY way for you to find out. It's actually VERY simple.

1. Go to http://thomas.loc.gov
2. Choose "Obama, Barack [D-IL]" from the "Select a Senator" dropdown.
3. Click "GO" button.

You're welcome.

Hmmm. Lots of bills to honor people, most of the rest read twice and
referred (buried). Might be a half-dozen of minor substance that didn't
die that natural death (being charitable).

Checking McCain served up fewer, but most were passed, only a couple
were read twice and buried, didn't notice any of the PR "to Honor" or
"x week" fluff ones.

It's a shame the record only goes back a couple of years.
