So Barry wrote 2 bills and Ryan did 2 bills yet somehow it's Ryan's bad. Again, how many of Barry's budgets got passed and can you explain the 99-0 votes on his bills? Ryan's got quite a bit more than that.

Wow, that list looks very impressive… lol

Obama understands how the game is played and is not afraid to play it. You must understand that from day one Obama has been a creation of a political machine. As a state senator with eyes toward Washington he knew that he needed to create a legislative record. So…

Obama struck a deal with then-head of the Illinois Senate, Emil Jones, in a well-recorded conversation asking Jones to make him a U.S. Senator, following which, Jones appointed him head of prominent, headline-grabbing legislation worked on by other Senators to raise his political profile, and had him craft legislation to meet major tragedies in the news.

As Houston Press reporter Todd Spivak would note:

"But what's interesting, and almost never discussed, is that he built his entire legislative record in Illinois in a single year... Jones appointed Obama sponsor of virtually every high-profile piece of legislation, angering many rank-and-file state legislators who had more seniority than Obama and had spent years championing the bills... During his seventh and final year in the state Senate, Obama's stats soared. He sponsored a whopping 26 bills passed into law — including many he now cites in his presidential campaign when attacked as inexperienced. It was a stunning achievement that started him on the path of national politics — and he couldn't have done it without Jones. Before Obama ran for U.S. Senate in 2004, he was virtually unknown even in his own state. Polls showed fewer than 20 percent of Illinois voters had ever heard of Barack Obama. Jones further helped raise Obama's profile by having him craft legislation addressing the day-to-day tragedies that dominated local news headlines."

Spivak quotes another Illinois Senator, Rickey Hendon, as saying,

"I took all the beatings and insults and endured all the racist comments over the years from nasty Republican committee chairmen, Barack didn't have to endure any of it, yet, in the end, he got all the credit. I don't consider it bill jacking, but no one wants to carry the ball 99 yards all the way to the one-yard line, and then give it to the halfback who gets all the credit and the stats in the record book."

Obama’s record as a U.S. Senator is a continuance of this same stategy. (Co)Sponsor lots of legislation to pad the resume. But from that long list only two (2) became law. A fluff piece supporting Ethiopian democracy and a ban on exporting mercury.

Yawn.

But it does help stuff an empty suit.

[SMEGMA STENCH]

I know this is his claim but I don't buy it. It's his true opinion masked by a fabricated troll job so to not be bashed by 95 % of the board on the subject. He wants Obama in office but doesn't have a valid reason as to why, hence the troll job

naynay your boy Obama is a softy who caters to leaches and allows this country to look weak to the world. nothing has changed America needs a leader now and its obvious we do not have one.

[Forever_frost]

Just a reminder about Naynay's boy:

The Obama administration’s proposed defense budget calls for military families and retirees to pay sharply more for their healthcare, while leaving unionized civilian defense workers’ benefits untouched. The proposal is causing a major rift within the Pentagon, according to U.S. officials. Several congressional aides suggested the move is designed to increase the enrollment in Obamacare’s state-run insurance exchanges.

The disparity in treatment between civilian and uniformed personnel is causing a backlash within the military that could undermine recruitment and retention.

The proposed increases in health care payments by service members, which must be approved by Congress, are part of the Pentagon’s $487 billion cut in spending. It seeks to save $1.8 billion from the Tricare medical system in the fiscal 2013 budget, and $12.9 billion by 2017.

Ok, you got your black president and he sucked, how about we split the difference and elect a Mexican president next time?

[naynay]

[DieselSmoke]

How about Condalisa Rice and get it all out of our system? Her VP can be a Latin Jew.

[Silverback]

Sure, as long as it isn't that gun hating Hilary.

[347Mike]

How about Condalisa Rice and get it all out of our system? Her VP can be a Latin Jew.

I would definitely leave the country.

I would much rather have Colin Powell as the POTUS.

[Forever_frost]

I'm digging New Mexico's governor.

This arguement about $300k houses is fucking retarded. In my "hood", houses go from around $275-$400k. Not a single bitch ass Obama sign. On my block ALONE, there are 4 Romney signs.
