And you still can't come up with anything exceptional that Barry did as a lawyer, a lecturer or a legislator since he left Harvard Law, can you Sarah? Shouldn't that be a tip off that he's NOT the guy you think he is and never has been?

Partial review of Obama's Illinois state senate success:
In January 2003, Obama became chairman of the Health and Human Services Committee, after six years on the committee and four years as its minority spokesman.
He sponsored successful efforts to expand children's health care,
create a plan to provide equal health care access for all Illinois residents, and
create a "Hospital Report Card" system, and worker's rights laws that protected whistleblowers,
domestic violence victims,
equal pay for women, and
overtime pay.
His most public accomplishment was a bill requiring police to videotape interrogations and confessions in potential death penalty cases.
Obama was willing to listen to Republicans and police organizations and negotiate compromises to get the law passed. That helped him develop a reputation as a pragmatist able to work with various sides of an issue.
Obama also led the passage of a law to monitor
racial profiling by requiring police to record the race of drivers they stopped
US SENATE:
In his first session (
109th Congress), he was involved in
immigration reform.
Legislation bearing his name was passed for armament reduction and federal transparency as well as relief aid.
In the first year of the
110th Congress, he worked on lobbying and campaign finance reform,
election reform,
climate control and
troop reduction.
In the second year, he legislated for oversight of certain military discharges,
Iran divestment and nuclear terrorism reduction, but
President George W. Bush vetoed his legislation forState Children's Health Insurance Program-related military family job protections.
ASK FACTCHECK
Q: Is it true that George W. Bush took more vacation days than Barack Obama?
A: Yes. Before his two-week trip to Martha’s Vineyard in August, Obama’s count was 125 full or partial days and Bush’s total at the same point in his presidency was 407.
Barack Obamasponsored 137 bills from 4 Jan 2005 until 16 November 2008. Two became law.
[1] This figure does not include bills to which Obama contributed as cosponsor, such as the Coburn-Obama
Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 or the Lugar-Nunn
Cooperative Proliferation Detection, Interdiction Assistance, and Conventional Threat Reduction Act of 2006. Nor does it include
amendments to other bills, although in the Senate these are not required to be germane to the parent bill and can therefore effectively be bills in their own right.
[2] During the same time period, Obama has co-sponsored 689 bills in total; 408 of which had secured his support by the day they were originally introduced in the Senate.

Obama isn't George Bush or Ronald Reagan. He had a fantastic record to run on with a lot of experience. But the right wingernut echo chamber keeps saying that he was just a community organizer and had nothing to run on the dipshit moronic GOP base believes it without question. A true definition of "lemming".
We all sit in front of the Internet. Go look at the bills WRITTEN by John McCain. Remember, Republicans wanted him to be President. Sure, he sponsors a number of bills, but I couldn't find a single one he actually wrote. Can you? Worse, he was one of the Keating 5. And dipshit Republicans have nerve to slam Obama. Fuckers. What a bunch of dirty people.
