What has Barack Obama accomplished in the Senate?

[K-D-K-D-K]

Has he done anything substancial that has made a difference like bringing in jobs to his state and voting that effects the Nation?

[preservanation]

As the primary process goes on, Hillary will be asking those very same questions.
It will be an uphill battle for her, but look for some bombshells in the future and the gap will close eventually.
When I say bombshells, I mean BOMBSHELLS.
Nagasaki sized.

It won't be based around something he didn't do but something he did do.

[Deadshot]

I'm not sure, maybe it's another board I was on, but wasn't one of the new Terms of Service items that people and politicians names were not supposed to be fucked with?

K-D, I think you are beyond the Pale in your posts and how you represent yourself.

[preservanation]

If Obama is uncomfortable with his given name, it's up to him to have it legally changed, not up to DeadShot to complain about it.
If it's good enough for Barack Hussein Obama, it should be good enough for the rest of us.

[Deadshot]

Then use the whole thing. K-D, as evidenced by almost ALL of his posts, seeks to divide people along racial or ethnic lines. I'm just saying that's FUBAR.:unreal:

Wanna hate me because I'm an ass or you don't like me, fine. But I think it's wrong to hate someone based on their religion, sex, race, etc. Get to know someone and you'll find a reason dislike them. K-D's just stirrin the shit pot, and we all know it.

[preservanation]

I know, but to accuse him of effin with Obama's name by using it correctly is a hard case to make.

There are easier avenues to take in order to discredit someone you disagree with, other than this one.

[Deadshot]

I mention it because, as you have admitted Preserv, he's simply trying to fuck with people. When refering to POTUS's we don't same Delano Roosevelt, Fitzgerald Kennedy or Wilson Reagan, do we?

All I'm saying that if we're going to use their name, use the whole thing.

As to discrediting K-D, damn near everyone here has already done that. My Lord, Preserv, look at every post K-D has put up and you'll see his hatred and vitriol parried on everyone by both those representing the Left and the Right here on the board.

I see it, and I think it gets the desired effect.

I understand your concerns and outrage, DS, but the rights and privileges on this forum are for all and he is exercising them.

Yeah, you can make a case that we don't use a middle name first typically...but what's the use?
I say let him have it, though it is definitely not my call to make...
Thank God!:D

Oh but you have to understand Deadshot, Hussein Obama isn't POTUSA as he never will so he doesn't fit in that elite catagory to be addressed that way. Sorry.

[Deadshot]

Well whether it is Hussein, Diane or Reid we'll have a Democrat there. And to be quite honest, I thinks that there's a good chance if it is Hussein as the POTUS, we'll have Reid as the VPOTUS or vice versa.

Either way, you lose and I'm happy...:nana:

Now that you've had fun with his middle name, let's answer our racist friend's question.

In the Senate Barack Obama was successful in his efforts to secure additional funding for veterans' medical care and energy development in Illinois.

He pushed legislation this year to create an Office of Public Integrity, which would have enforced anti-corruption laws.

Obama voted against the corporate-written Central American Free Trade Agreement. And he was particularly outspoken after Hurricane Katrina, leading the charge among lawmakers demanding answers about the government's failure to protect New Orleans.

He voted against the credit-card-industry-written bankruptcy bill.

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.

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. Recognizing the terrorist threat posed by weapons of mass destruction, 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. And knowing the threat we face to our economy and our security from America's addiction to oil, he's working to bring auto companies, unions, farmers, businesses and politicians of both parties together to promote the greater use of alternative fuels and higher fuel standards in our cars.
