Breathe into this paper bag, people
Senator Obama is handsome, he's smart, he's charasmatic, he's this, and yes, he's that. You know what? I'm handsome, smart, and charasmatic, but no one is touting me for president.
This guy is a dyed in the wool liberal, but at least he's honest about it. Compared to Illinois's other senator who is an opportunistic chameleon whose tack to the left corresponds in lock step with his ascendency in his party, at least with Obama you know what you're getting.
I'm grown quite tired of all the hype around this guy. Sure, he's smart and he might be the only immovable object in the path of the irresistable force of that other junior senator, the one from New York. But point to ONE thing he's done (besides pen no less than two memoirs within a couple of years of each other--imagine being in your forties and having compiled two memoirs!). Name one piece of legislation with his name on it. He's non partisan you say? Show me one vote in the senate where he's broken ranks with the democratic caucas. I'll hang up and listen to your answer.
Aha, just what I thought.
