  • What if Obama had credentials?

    Millions of idiots might know why they are cheering for him.

    I cheer for him because he is black and I am an intellectual snob.

      He's been a senator in the Illinois Senate and U.S. Senate can so he has credentials.

      Apparently while serving he was saving himself though for the important job of POTUS. He's been pretty much an invisible man as a legislator.

      But he gives one hell of a speech.

        I think he will employ a full-time running attack and put the team in a crappy locker room to toughen them up.

        In other words - he won't be boring.

          Umm what else?

          No wonder the Dems have a hard time winning Presidential elections.

          Although this time they have two things in their favor: Bush and McCain

            I guess the converse of this is that you won't cheer for him because he's black and you're dumb.
            From this day forward, I no longer shall tinker with the machinery of death.

            For more than 20 years I have endeavored-indeed, I have struggled-along with a majority of this Court, to develop procedural & substantive rules that would lend more than the mere appearance of fairness to the death penalty endeavor.


            I feel morally and intellectually obligated simply to concede that the death penalty experiment has failed.

            The path the Court has chosen lessens us all. I dissent.

                If he becomes POTUS I can only hope that his performance there will be better than it has been as a legislator. He's definitely a back row Senator and the country needs more than a careful, passive executive to deal with our current issues.

                      Compare Hillarys activist Senatorial career to the laid back and almost uninvolved career Obama has posted in Illinois and the U.S. Senate. Even as a first lady she didn't limit herself to photo ops and entertainment but took an active role in promoting legislative initiatives.

                      I'll say this again. I like Obama. I'm worried about his tendency not to engage actively during his senatorial careers. He's played it safe, preferring the sideline to the field.

                        Stay on topic counselor. We're discussing the relative mundane career of Obama right now, not the primary process.

                          Holy Talking Point.

                          Can we have some evidence of her impact and involvement in the Senate....then please contrast and compare to Senator Obama.

                          Otherwise, your constant battlecry lacks any sort of credibility.

                          The "empty suit" argument is silly. Why is he an empty suit? Why is Hillary not an empty suit?

                            Did he capitulate on the vote on Iraq?

                              I've done my homework, you do your own. Like most Obama fans you can just tell yourself how much better he is based on hearing a couple of his speeches. Or you can check the legislative record and see which of the candidates has truly engaged in the process. (Here's a hint, there's no comparison).
