But wouldn't that be chicken, not fish? You know, a fowl taste?

too bad that he couldn't use that to promote any legislation in congress!
....which is simply false.
..from wikipedia:
As a member of the Democratic minority in the 109th Congress, he helped create legislation to control conventional weapons and to promote greater public accountability in the use of federal funds. He also made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. During the 110th Congress, he helped create legislation regarding lobbying and electoral fraud, climate change, nuclear terrorism, and care for returned U.S. military personnel. After announcing his presidential campaign in February 2007, Obama emphasized withdrawing American troops from Iraq, energy independence, decreasing the influence of lobbyists, and promoting universal health care as top national priorities.
You have to admit, that is not bad for a junior Senator. Now I wonder what John McCain's accomplishments where in his first four years in the Senate?
I checked that wiki entry, the thing that was so blaring was I typed in the other 3 candidates and noticed BO was the only one that had those listed near the top. Most start out with a summary and then their life story. Hmmm, looks like Wiki is stumpin for BO a little don't you think? He certainly needs the help based on the presence of this thread that's for sure.
Wikipedia's entry on Barack Obama claims that he "was selected as an editor of the law review based on his grades and a writing competition,"[25] when in fact the Harvard Law Review has long used racial quotas for admission.[26]
Wikipedia's article on Jeremiah Wright repeatedly has material referenced from the New York Post and the conservative news website, Newsmax, removed citing them as unreliable sources.

I remember when comparing Hillary's legislative record with Obama's an analyst said Obama had more done. The article was trying to ask why people don't give him credit more. ...Yes, he's relatively new to the Senate, but they said the amount he's accomplished for that much time is a good. ....
Anyhow know more?

Also, at the bottom it says:
In all, since entering the State/U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096.
An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no record according to some who would prefer that this comparison not be made public.
He's not just a talker.
He's a doer.

Hmmm so letusreason, would you like to actually refute any of his accomplishments as Senator?

I went to the site that is noted in the reference of the anonymous poster you have quoted (here) of those he proposed (see the action taken portion on the bottom of each proposal) the first 70 no action has been taken other than "read twice" and sent to __________ committee, 71 through 129 are amendments and awaiting action ... none have been passed. But he has made an effort.

OB should bring that up on his resume. I wonder why he hasn't brought that up himself...must be humble, doesn't like to talk about himself. 
He usually is quite humble.

Maybe he needs a job coach with that resume. Maybe lists some hobbies, you know like hunting or something of the sort. Maybe some volunteering activities...oh, wait that's under the job experience section.

Let's not forget his sterling committment to the Subcommittee on European Affairs as committee chairman. Some of it's responsibility is NATO's use of troops. Senator Obama has held ZERO hearings on NATO's involvement in Afghanistan.
Zero is also the amount of money he's given his brother who lives in a shack made of garbage.

It doesn't matter, I would answer. But the two or three people who vote for him are going to vote for him because they like him. Just like McCain and Palin. When put on the spot, I doubt the average voter can name three accomplishments of those two that would qualify them to be president, but it doesn't matter, because more people like them than like Obama and that's the bottom line. Its a silly question. Ask Hannity to name three accomplishments he's done that qualifies him to have his own show and I'll bet he'd struggle for answers. It's one of the toughest interview questions to answer, name three accomplishments in your career that would qualify you for this job - and the interviewee probably had weeks to prepare an answer and it's still tough. Even then, as another poster pointed out, even if you come up with three, Hannity will discredit them all, especially if one involved Obama's work as community organizer. Hannity gleefully thinks he's making a point, but he's only satisfying his own lustful obsessive hatred of Obama.

I really don't think Hannity's assessment is personal as much as a ratings getter. You know, as much fun it is to poke holes in the arguments of Obama crusaders...I need to call it a evening anyway.
Love to you all...including the liberals in the bunch. Nite Nite.

What did McCain pass?
McCain-Fiengold and McCain-Kennedy, for starters.
But he's against them now.

Actually, false. He has often described his life from washing dishes to doing construction to getting a break in radio. He also often thanks God publicly for the blessing of having a successful radio career, and gives thanks to all of the listeners who continue to keep it that way.
Second, the few things a person needs to get their own radio program are a break and a good marketing team. In order to take it to the next level and actually have a successful radio program, you actually have to have something to say and the ability to say it well. Sean Hannity didn't get the 2nd most listened to talk radio program in the US by chance. He worked hard and made it. He is also probably one of the kindest and most generous people you could ever hope to meet. Just because he adamantly defends conservative values and exposes liberal fallacies doesn't make him a bad guy.
Third, it is pretty easy to name three things that qualify McCain to be President. From his military service to his extensive Senate career to his generous heart as displayed by his adoptions and the charity of giving many of his properties to others to live in. You can find just as many things that qualify Palin. She successfully governed a city and then a state, decimated wasteful spending, and puts her pro-life talk into walk.
Obama has done what? Gone to an Ivy League school, edited a law review, written two books about himself, wracked up an impressive collection of shady acquaintances, and spent 143 working days in the Senate? Oops, I forgot his street agitating experience for the corrupt ACORN.
