- You can talk all day long about Hillary. She still going to lose.
- It amazes me how often this topic comes up. Here are a few of the reasons I like Obama. I'm not telling you who to vote for. I just want to bring up some points most people don't know about Obama. -Obama passed legislation with Republican Senator Jim Talent to give gas stations a tax credit for installing E85 ethanol refueling pumps. The tax credit covers 30 percent of the costs of switching one or more traditional petroleum pumps to E85, which is an 85 percent ethanol/15 percent gasoline blend. -After a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama worked with law enforcement officials to require the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases. -His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent. -Obama created the Illinois Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income working families in 2000 and successfully sponsored a measure to make the credit permanent in 2003. The law offered about $105 million in tax relief over three years. -Obama joined forces with former U.S. Sen. Paul Simon (D-IL) to pass the toughest campaign finance law in Illinois history. The legislation banned the personal use of campaign money by Illinois legislators and banned gifts from lobbyists. Before the law was passed, one organization ranked Illinois worst among 50 states for its campaign finance regulations. -As a member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Senator Obama has fought to help Illinois veterans get the disability pay they were promised, while working to prepare the VA for the return of the thousands of veterans who will need care after Iraq and Afghanistan. -He traveled to Russia with Republican Dick Lugar to begin a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world. -Obama has been a leading advocate for protecting the right to vote, helping to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act and leading the opposition against discriminatory barriers to voting. - In the U.S. Senate, Obama introduced the STOP FRAUD Act to increase penalties for mortgage fraud and provide more protections for low-income homebuyers, well before the current subprime crisis began. -Obama sponsored legislation to combat predatory payday loans, and he also was credited with lobbied the state to more closely regulate some of the most egregious predatory lending practices. -Barack Obama introduced the Patriot Employer Act of 2007 to provide a tax credit to companies that maintain or increase the number of full-time workers in America relative to those outside the US; maintain their corporate headquarters in America; pay decent wages; prepare workers for retirement; provide health insurance; and support employees who serve in the military. -Obama worked to pass a number of laws in Illinois and Washington to improve the health of women. His accomplishments include creating a task force on cervical cancer, providing greater access to breast and cervical cancer screenings, and helping improve prenatal and premature birth services. -Obama has introduced and helped pass bipartisan legislation to limit the abuse of no-bid federal contracts. -Obama and Senator Feingold (D-WI) took on both parties and proposed ethics legislation that was described as the "gold standard" for reform. It was because of their leadership that ending subsidized corporate jet travel, mandating disclosure of lobbyists' bundling of contributions, and enacting strong new restrictions of lobbyist-sponsored trips became part of the final ethics bill that was signed into law. I really could list many, many more but I fear it would be too much to take in at one time. I hope this helps some of you know him a little better. Everyone seems to be jumping on his "Change" bandwagon. However, he does have the record to back it up.
- Here's a few...next http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2007/07/29/us/politics/20070730_OBAMA_GRAPHIC.html
- working on the streets of chicago as a community organizer helping folks who had lost their jobs to get back on track
- he inhaled... but just kidding.. he is like a draft pick lots of potential little evidance ..but hillary you know what she does
- He seems to be an accomplished liar.
- THIS IS ALL HE DID !! http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51121 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzFOOcEQtP0
- http://thinkonthesethings.wordpress.com/barack-obama-101/
- He sponsored 823 bills in the illinois senate. Here's the list: http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2007/07/29/us/politics/20070730_OBAMA_GRAPHIC.html
- Obama pushed a bill for transparency through congress Obama pushed for childrens healthcare in illinois Obama never made the mistake of voting for the Iraq war, more than once . Obama's healthcare plan takes into account the 36 million people in america that live below the poverty level. THINK about this- if clinton mandates her plan ("garnishing wages if necessary") against unemployed, or underemployed people that live paycheck to paycheck, how will that give our economy the boost that it needs- it will just raise the public debt to astronomical levels. Obama is running a winning campaign without engaging in corruption and taking money from corporate lobbyst. Obama's greatest achievement is to inspire us and move us to get involved and take part in our government.
- What accomplishment he did? He got my vote, and that's a huge one =)
- hmmm ya got me there. Lets see here Hillary.......Socialist Liberal Barrack Hussein Obama <----- Refuses to wear an American Flag Pin on his lapel !!!! Sorry just cant see either of them doing ANYTHING good for people !
- Fire Up! Ready to Go! Fired Up, Ready to Go! Sure, In the U.S. Senate, he has focused on tackling the challenges of a globalized, 21st century world with fresh thinking and a politics that no longer settles for the lowest common denominator. His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent. He has also been the lead voice in championing ethics reform that would root out Jack Abramoff-style corruption in Congress. Note: He reached across party lines for that accomplishment!
- diva 008 is shameful and nasty with no respect for successful women. My wife is very successful and I know how hard it is to do it if you are a woman. My wife did it the right way she did not sleep her way to the top nor did she lie on men either. She has been married only one time and that is to me. Yet, she has many loser women in her ear trying to get her to do stupid things. Loser women like diva 008 who would love to see your home and career destroyed like hers is. Misery loves company and be-careful what you say. You are talking about the next President of the United States. All those years that women were held down with no rights and after all that time they still will not stand together. Listen ladies you need to come together and elect Hillary she is the best candidate. Hillary 08.
- During the first (8) eight years of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced: 233 regarding healthcare reform, 125 on poverty and public assistance, 112 crime fighting bills, 97 economic bills, 60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills, 21 ethics reform bills, 15 gun control, 6 veterans affairs and many others. His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These inculded: **the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 (became law), **The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, (became law), **The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate, **The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, (became law), **The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, (In committee), and many more."
- There are several Senators that only vote on legislations, and a handfull that write them...Obama is one that does the real work.
- Afraid that he's going to win aren't you? Get over it!
- He has character and integrity-a rare find in politics MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT- he saw the truth and did NOT vote to go to war in Iraq.
- Obama: the nation's hope! http://willbill.wordpress.com/2008/02/13/barack-obama-a-esperanca-das-nacoes/
