Have you seen the article from "The Houston Press" about Obama?

When asked about his legislative record, Obama rattles off several bills he sponsored as an Illinois lawmaker. He expanded children's health insurance; made the state Earned Income Tax Credit refundable for low-income families; required public bodies to tape closed-door meetings to make government more transparent; and required police to videotape interrogations of homicide suspects. And the list goes on. It's a lengthy record filled with core liberal issues. But what's interesting, and almost never discussed, is that he built his entire legislative record in Illinois in a single year...... (It gets REAL good after this......it's a REAL eye opener.....) http://www.houstonpress.com/2008-02-28/news/barack-obama-screamed-at-me/2 I said it gets REAL good. You will see how corrupt Obama is once you learn who really created those bills, his favors he owed and his actual involvement in his state. READ THE ARTICLE.

1. Good to hear something substantive for a change. Hillary still has the best experience (go to congresspedia.com to compare).
2. Barak's proposed $21,000 in new government for each tax payer. Nothing really suprises me.
3. Yeah that article is good, just goes to show who all he owes for getting to where he is and how he was given a lot of his fame. Its his voting record that they should attack more so then his BS promises. http://i26.tinypic.com/2m624jm.jpg Obama Supporters, what is it about his voting record do like? Is it his NO for Student Loan Lender Subsidy Cuts and Student Grants to lower student loan interest rates and to increase amount of grants? Because Im sure all of the students who support Obama really dont want lower interest rates? Is it his No for Firearms Manufacturers Protection bill that would prevent me from suing Colt if some thug shot me w/ a colt .45? Because Im sure all Obama supporters really think it is the Gun Manufacturers fault. Is it his NO for Denying Legal Status for Immigrants Convicted of Certain Crimes that would prohibit undocumented immigrants convicted of aggravated felonies, domestic violence, stalking, violation of protection orders, crimes against children, or crimes relating to the illegal purchase or sale of firearms, from gaining legal status? That would be horrible to deny Felons from becoming citizens huh Obama supporters? Could go on and on, he has a one of the largest % of Absents or No votes when compared to others, guess he is too important
4. I'm having a little trouble seeing this as a negative.
5. we will see 3-4-2008
6. This is great!! Want even more information? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUze-oYss Info on Rezzo. http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/432197,CST-NWS-obama18.stng
7. Thanks a lot for that article, the details were great and it does a lot to fill in Obama's biography and the blank slate that some pundits claim that he is.
8. Ha seriously check out his voting record, lets put it this way Ann Coulter liked him =). She's now debating between him and Hillary. Now that might change a liberal mind... if your liberal this year your best candidate is McCain, so no matter what us conservatives are losing, which mean so is the country =(. Oh and to who listed his voting record as well don't forget that he wanted to bomb Iran(good thing, better than clinton there) and Pakistan(bad thing, the only muslim country that wants to fight aq) and he was against abortion in '04. All the reason more for Ann to vote for him.
9. People don't know what Obama;s done for two reasons. 1. They're too lazy to check out Obama's website. (Go here to read why so many people are moving to Obama: http://www.barackobama.com/issues/ethics/ 2. The media doesn't discuss candidates issues or their records. They only discuss negatives, rumors, how much money they have raised and how they're doing in the polls. P.S. Hillary has more TIME in Congress but Obama has done more in the short time he has had than Hillary has in the long time she has had. And remember it was the Clinton's that rammed NFTA down our throats. Remember Ross Perot telling us aobut that "sucking sound" will be all the jobs leaving the USA? Turns out he was right. Hillary also voted tto give Bush the power to invade Iraq AND not so long ago, Iran! Patriot acts etc etc etc etc. So how can anybody really refer to her "experience" as a good thing? I would rather have an intelligent person who comes to the White House with no strings attached (Obama takes no PAC money. n Hillary and McCain take lots of it.) It's the people the pResident surrounds theirself with and I think Obama will surround hom self with the brightest, most resourceful people dedicated to getting this country back on track. as democracy - not the corporate slut Bush and Cheney have forced us into..
10. Your right and no one does know much about Obama, as he refuses to discuss his views and votes on very little so that he has little record to go by, which is just the way he wants it, so that then the only thing we can go on is the political garbage that his staff decides to put on his own website as they feel that is what we want to hear. How does he deal with the big independant voter sites that keep track of all political leaders. Senator Barack H. Obama Jr. repeatedly refused to provide any responses to citizens on the issues through the 2008 Political Courage Test when asked to do so by national leaders of the political parties, prominent members of the media, Project Vote Smart President Richard Kimball, and Project Vote Smart staff. What is his voting record see source for all his votes in the Senate , NOTE : NV means NO VOTE, something he does often even on issues he sits on the committees for, look at his voting on foreign affairs / foreign Aid issues 50% NO Vote even though he sits on the foreign relations committee. Second link is his full voting record.
