Anyone know of anything Obama has accomplished besides being a black man running for president?

Not being sarcastic. I am curious what libs can show he has accomplished. Surely he has some good points on his resume?

I saw a focus group of Dem's on Hannity and Colmes I think it was and none could list a single accomplishment even though they would vote for him.

His bill banned the slaughter of horses. That is one thing that he accomplished. :mad:

So he is to blame for my $200.00 horse at the auction a couple months ago.

He voted for no doctor assistance for live aborted babies that may have survived.

He is very scary on the gun control issues.

I heard a deal on the pickup radio this morning that burns by biscuits, and am almost starting to see why Bush could be bashed. Soon he will be heading off on a visit to five African countries. In the radio news bite, it said that he is pledging 30 billion dollars to the country of Tanzania for something to do with AIDs. Why is it our responsibility to bail them out for problems caused by irresponsible sexual behavior? Feeding hungry foreigners is one thing; contributing to AID in sexual perversion is quite another.

Why do western politicians continue to believe that the problem of poverty in Africa can be solved by throwing money at it? most monetary aid ends up in secure (used to be Swiss) bank accounts of the elite while the peasants continue to starve! Africa has the potential through natural resources, to be richer than the USA, but tribalism, greed and despotic dictators ensure this will not be achieved.

Yup. I remenber when the "We Are The World" thing was happening and we were sending 747's loaded with food to Ethiopia.

Come to find out, the Pres. over there was selling it to a bordering country for pennies on the dollar claiming that he had no storge facilities for it. :roll:

Edie Amin was my hero though. :shock: He didn't need to import food.
He was a cannibal. :gag:

Obama Again Slams Korea FTA




Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama this week renewed his opposition to the proposed free-trade agreement between the United States and South Korea.

The junior senator from Illinois entered a statement into the congressional record on Monday, citing his "firm and unyielding" opposition to the agreement until there is full denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

Obama did, however, say that an accord was important to American industries, including beef.

"I look forward … to supporting ways to increase our bilateral trade and investment ties through agreements paying proper attention to our key industries and agricultural sectors, such as autos, rice and beef, and to protection of labor and environmental standards," he said.

He added that the FTA's current iteration "does not meet this standard."

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), the other potential democratic presidential nominee, also has opposed the FTA. In a statement released last summer, Clinton said, "I will oppose the pending trade agreements with South Korea … [because] the South Korean agreement does not create a level playing field for American carmakers."

Republican frontrunner John McCain, former senator from Arizona, in a speech last February, lauded the FTA with South Korea. "Completing FTAs with Thailand, Malaysia and South Korea, in concert with the agreements we have already struck with Australia and Singapore, should set the stage for an ambitious Pacific-wide effort to liberalize trade," he said. "Such efforts have very tangible impacts."

This guy is extremely scary and backwards. Of all things he voted to not help dieing babies, but then he sponsored a bill to save horses. :mad:

I don't want Hillary, but the more I here about this guy, the worse it is. What ever happened to morals??!!!!!????

As some of you know,I live in Illinois. I wrote this over at CT in 2004 right after Obama was elected. My opinion hasn't changed,except to say he is worse than I thought he could be.
Obama is burning a lot of fuel now,but we'll see if there's anything there long term. He is a college professor that says a lot of things that his constituents want to hear. Time will tell if he is what I think he is.
We've had time to tell what he is now,and anybody who is to the left of Dicky Durbin our other socialist senator here,is not somebody we want in the White House. He offers nothing substantial,only charisma and the ability to speak well in front of a crowd. He reminds me of a few revival preachers I've heard. A lot of our fellow citizens seem to have closed their eyes, put their heads back and fallen into his trance of "change",suspending their ability to think clearly about the whole package they are buying. He has so far fallen into his seats,without ever being in a tough election and having to defend his positions on anything. I thought that might hurt him in a national election, but he has so far escaped mostly I think because of the fear from the other candidates getting hit with the backlash.
If you are an Obama supporter,especially if you are an independent or a disgruntled Republican, this is America, and that's your right,but please take the time to really examine what it is you are voting for.
