From listening to WMAL all day and Sarah last night. Obama was a community organizer What is that. Then he went to Harvard, how did that go? Then he was elected to the legislature and voted present 132 times. Then he was elected to the Senate and once there came upon the idea to run for the president. But ina sence he hasn't done anything.
Are Democrats starting to wonder how they put Obama to run as their candidate for the nations highest office? And what he'll do once he gets there?

WMAL is not a credible source of political information. Their host subscribe to "Talking Points Memo," a disinformation paper sent by the RNC. Ever notice they all hammer the same points? Because the are working from the same sheet of paper.

It's a job you do if you're a lawyer looking to make your way into politics. Instead of taking some high-paying job as a Harvard Law grad, you work within the community to help lead grassroots political efforts and effect change at a local level.
>>> he went to Harvard, how did that go?
He was president of Harvard Law Review, one of the most prestigious legal journals on the planet.
>>> Then he was elected to the legislature and voted present 132 times.
He sponsored important legislation while he was there (look it up), and was able to use his political skills to catapult him self into national politics- something some state legislators spend their entire careers trying to do.
>>elected to the Senate and once there came upon the idea to run for the president. But ina sence he hasn't done anything.
Sponsored legislation on campaign finance reform, nuclear terrorism, was a vocal opponent of the Iraq war, and as a young politician was able to use his Senate platform to move national political debate.
>>And what he'll do once he gets there?
It won't be "four more years" like we will get with McCain & that redistricting nimrod from hicktown Alaska.

"It won't be "four more years" like we will get with McCain & that redistricting nimrod from hicktown Alaska."
It’s this kind of inflammatory rhetoric that hurts your position. It castes you as an angry zealot.

Meeper is a bit angry, I can see why, but Alias, you're pretty well known for your lame childish name-calling and your immature persistence, so you probably shouldn't talk.

Sarah? Do you mean "Palin the bitch"....the "bitch" for short? The "feminist" who is happy her daughter made the right "choice" when it came having her child...but would take that choice away from every other teenager? The bitch who want to ban books...inject her fanatical religious beliefs into politics? Believe me..win or loose...every democrat is happy with the Obama/Biden candidate.

McCain has no chance in hell. Obama is ahead +18% in the election markets, which is the best predictor out there.
