Then why does the left blame everything that's wrong on Bush, but he gets no credit for any of the good stuff? Are there two separate standards for Democrat or Republican Presidents?

Thanks Larry, lets add more to the list.

In 2007 when given the chance to divert the money initially earmarked for the Ketchikan bridge in Alaska Obama voted NO! The amendment was offered by Tom Coburn, the Republican that Obama claims he is friends with. Yes that is right. Obama voted NO to helping the victims to Katrina. Instead he decided that the Bridge to Nowhere was much more important than those suffering from such devastating loss.

Obama's Citizenship Promotion Act, S. 795’s, primary goal is “to assist aliens who have been lawfully admitted to becoming citizens of the United States.” It does not provide funding to secure the borders or assist in the USCIS’s quest towards efficiency or its capabilities to root out corruption. Instead, Obama’s bill will organize the immigrant community by allotting U.S. $80 million for outreach programs targeted at immigrants and future voters.

Sen. Barack Obama tried to direct more than $3 million in taxpayer funds to a Chicago museum whose chairman is one of the Illinois senator's largest campaign fundraisers.

Obama won't allow his transcript from his undergraduate days at Columbia University to be released.

One of the first bills Obama wrote in the Illinois General Assemby was a declaration that 1 Nov 1997 would be Islamic Day.

Obama has voted with Harry Reid 92% of the time. 

Obama's "Global Poverty Act" (S.2433)  The legislation would commit the U.S. to spending 0.7 percent of gross national product on foreign aid, which amounts to a phenomenal 13-year total of $845 billion over and above what the U.S. already spends.

In 2007, Senator Barack Obama stood up for a gun owner. He endorsed Chicago Alderman Dorothy Tillman in her Democratic primary. Not only was she a gun owner, but she had even pulled a gun on her colleagues during a contentious 1991 ward redistricting hearing, according to eyewitnesses. Tillman, best known for demanding to be served by black (not white) waiters, and for advocating reparations for slavery, narrowly lost her race despite Obama’s support.

According to a 1996 questionnaire he filled out while running for the Illinois Senate, Obama promised to support a ban on “the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns.”

Senator Obama also supported the District of Columbia’s comprehensive gun ban — he said so in a February television interview with Washington’s WJLA

In 2002, Senator Obama stood on the floor of the Illinois State Senate to oppose the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. By this time, even the abortion rights organizations like Planned Parenthood had dropped their opposition. But Obama continued to oppose the law.

Barack Obama specifically voted four times in the Illinois Legislature to allow criminal charges against a homeowner who used a firearm in self-defense of their person and home -- specifically what the Supreme Court says is a constitutional right. Obama may say he supports it, but his record says exactly the opposite.

Antoin "Tony" Rezko, perhaps the most important fund-raiser for Obama's early political campaigns and a friend who helped the Obamas buy a home in 2005. Rezko's company used subsidies to rehabilitate more than 1,000 apartments, mostly in and around Obama's district, then refused to manage the units, leaving the buildings to decay to the point where many no longer were habitable.

bama voted in 2006 against a bill that extends, through 2010, the cuts in capital gains and dividends tax rates enacted by Congress in 2003.He complained that the bill would “give the wealthiest one-tenth of one percent of all Americans a tax cut that is more than four thousand times larger than most middle-class Americans will get.

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was the most liberal senator in 2007, according to National Journal's 27th annual vote ratings. The insurgent presidential candidate shifted further to the left last year in the run-up to the primaries, after ranking as the 16th- and 10th-most-liberal during his first two years in the Senate.

Just about any sane and rational person would stop right there and go with McCain. I challenge anyone to find someone as shady as Rezko in McCain's closet.

Anthony R, Obama excused the whole buying a house along with Rezko's wife as a "boneheaded idea" and that he's going to make "mistakes". 

Anyone who claims to have a "good feeling" about Obama really needs to take a closer look at this guy.  Sure, he's good looking and can speak well.  He's good at making excuses and covering things up too.

Thats the only line that matters. In all those years 2 lame laws.

Anthony, do you ever look things up? one of the "lame" bills was the Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act, a comprehensive ethics and lobbying reform bill, passed by a 96-2 vote. This bill was signed into law by the President in September 2007.

I am really not sure that you understand how the government works. The author of a bill can't control its fate or the possibility of Presedential veto. Take S.133, a bill that Barach Obama sponsored "A bill to promote the national security and stability of the economy of the United States by reducing the dependence of the United States on oil through the use of alternative fuels and new technology, and for other purposes.A bill to promote the national security and stability of the economy of the United States by reducing the dependence of the United States on oil through the use of alternative fuels and new technology, and for other purposes." You wouldn't consider that important? The bill has been referred to Senate committee. How would you suggest that Sen. Obama force Congress to pass that?

A complete list of bills sponsored by Senator Obama, which I believe to be on topic in terms of accomplishments, can be found at: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/person.xpd?id=400629&tab=bills

Yeah, how much courage does it take to do what everyone wants.

This gutless wonder is going to have to deal with a nuclear Iran.

Woha Larry, you accuse him of not looking things up while you repeat talking points from Barack's Wiki site?

For instance, a casual reader of your reposted "accomplishments" post might get the impresison that Obama reaches across the aisle.  But he doesn't. He's one of the most partisan members of the senate when it comes time to vote.

For instance, Republicans were only involved in 13% of bills Obama "sponsored" while Democrats were part of 55% of bills McCain sponsored in the same time period. (source).

Also, getting attached to a bill is fairly easy. I.e. being a "sponsor" is not the same thing as having conceived or written a piece of legislation, something that junior senators (like Hilary Clinton actually) often do.

And on the most important issue of this election I think, the financial crisis, Obama and his kind are the side of the black hats. It was guys like Biden and other Democrats who were in the pocket of Fannie Mae who blocked more aggressiver oversight and it was guys like McCain who worked to try to get more oversight.

More like "Ohhhh Baaaaah Maahhh".

How many of those was it that he voted present again?

"For instance, a casual reader of your reposted "accomplishments" post might get the impresison that Obama reaches across the aisle.  But he doesn't. He's one of the most partisan members of the senate when it comes time to vote." Agreed, he has pretty much been a partisan politician (90 plus percent) although the Federal Funding Accounting and Transparency Act of 2006 was sponsored by Coburn, Obama, Carper and McCain, two Democrats and two Republicans.

Regarding the financial crise, John McCain has been, both by voting record and public statement, much more of a deregulator than any Democrat.

I use the Vote Smart website to see how the politicians have actually voted: http://www.votesmart.org/

But that shouldn't even be a debated point. McCain backed and enthusiasticly supported the Commodity Futures Modernization Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the two primary peices of legistlation that deregulated the industry. "Gramm" of course refers to John McCain's long-time friend and associate, Phil Gramm, who was John McCain's campaign advisor until he referred to America as a "nation of whiners" in the context of the financial crisis.

You are operating off the premise that deregulation is necessarily bad.

Deregulation is not the problem Larry, forced regulation of bad business decisions in the name of fairness is.  And Obama is up to his eyeballs in that.  NOt to say the republicans are any better, except they dont seem to campaign on it (and the true consevatives do not vote for it).

I can see we have a real jabberwocky working here.  What is up is down, and what is down is up!  Good spin!  YOu are better than most of the Obama Bots, I will give you that.
