		<description>A firstread blogger asked that Obama supporters list FIVE things Senator Obama has accomplished.  Well, here's ELEVEN: 

1. Obama has ELEVEN years of Senate experience to Hillary's EIGHT.  He was in the Illinois state senate for 8 years and has been in the U.S. senate since January 2005. In the state senate he sponsored 780 bills, of which 280 were signed into law.  In the U.S. senate he has sponsored about 152 bills and resolutions, and cosponsored about 427. 

2. He worked as a community organizer in Chicago, making $13 an hour, helping thousands of people who had lost manufacturing jobs get back on their feet (jobs, health care, housing).  He also helped register 150,000 voters. 

3.  Obama sponsored  the Health Care Justice Act in 2004, which "encourages Illinois to implement a health care plan that provides access to a full range of preventive, acute and long-term health care services." 

4.  He sponsored a 2003 bill that expanded KidCare and FamilyCare, health insurance programs for low-income families in Illinois which led to more than 150,000 additional people receiving health insurance through these programs. 

5. He introduced a bill that required that police officers tape interrogations.  This bill passed in the Senate 58-0.  The Governor who originally opposed this bill, signed it into law. 

6. He increased the minimum wage from $5.15 to $6.50. 

7. Obama cosponsored Secure Orderly Immigration Act by John 
McCain. It passed 62-36. 

8. He Worked with republican senator Lugar to expand and author a 
program to locate &#38; dismantle stray Russian WMD's left over 
from the cold war after the disbanding of the USSR. 

9. In the first two weeks of the 110th Congress, Senator Obama helped lead the Senate to pass the Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act a comprehensive ethics and lobbying reform bill, by a 96-2 vote. This landmark bill was signed into law by the President in September 2007.  The final bill that the Congress passed closely mirrored and drew key provisions in a bill that Senators Obama and Senator Feingold introduced in January 2007 to establish a "gold standard" for reform 

10. He toured Kuwait, Jordan, Israel, Palestinian territories and told 
Palestinian Authority Abbas that the United States would never recognize 
Hamas leaders until they renounced mission to attack Israel. 

11. As an Illinois State Senator, he helped pass the state's first major ethics reform bill in 25 years. 

Would you like me to go on?  Oh and here's an 11th accomplishment:  He beat the Clintons! Not just Hillary, but all three of the Clintons.  The Clinton brand is VERY powerful.  They have been on the political scene for decades.  Everyone is a familiar with them; they have strong ties with a whole host of Democratic leaders and many states as well.  I mean, they were Preisdent and First Lady for 8 years!  Obama was not really well-known outside of Illinois until 2004. Yet he has managed to run a better campaign than them and has beat them.  That's HUGE. 

People shouldn't take the candidates and the media at their word.  Go to the candidates' Senate Web sites and their campaign Web sites and READ what they have done and plan to do.  INFORM YOURSELF.

		<description>I am a Michigan ex- Democrat. If I had my way Obama would not be allowed to campaign in this state. I am so ticked at the Democratic party and the media for pushing this man on us as the Democratic nominee for President. I hope the people of Mi do not voter for him. I know dozens of Dems and ex Dems here who will vote for McCain. We are so disgusted with this whole process. The analyst keep saying that Dems will go around and vote for Obama. I do not think so. This is about morals and Democracy and fairness. We do not want Obama. The party is not listening. They (the super delegates) think that if they force Obama on us we will elect him. Not here. I think The voters are going to stand up and say no to Obama, He is the choice of the media and the Democratic party not the people. This whole primary should be questioned.</description>

		<description>Oh and one other thing...if those who are for Hillary Clinton, (who happens to be a Democratic Candidate in this Presidential Election race) do not vote for the Democratic Nominee who makes the grade, and again those voters switch over to Mccain if Hillary is not the nominee...YOU ARE NOT TRUE DEMOCRATS if you will go across party lines. 

Also, if you are a Democrat rooting for Hillary Clinton, and plan to abandon Hillary Clintons Party just because she may not be the Nominee in the fall, and you go over to Mccain because Obama takes the nomination, then you are slapping Hillary Clinton right in the face, along with her Democratic party, and all because of what??? Think about that!!! 

If you are a TRUE Democrat, then you will vote for the Democratic Candidate who makes the nomination...weather that be Hillary or Obama...shouldn't matter. Both of their plans for this country are so similar.</description>

		<description>I am amazed at the people in the good old USA who think that they are voting on issues, but really do not have a clue when it comes to this election. For one thing get it right..OBAMA has not taken the votes away from millions of Americans in FL, and MI, ahhh hello...the DNC has rules, and Michigan and Florida broke those rules when they held their primaries early against the DNC election rules. Go ahead and blame Obama...or anyone else you can think of for these Delegates not being seated at the convention, and you will be WRONG in your assumptions. 

Those people in Michigan, and Florida who rant and rave about this process need to get it right for a change. I am glad my delegates may not be seated here in Michigan, only because the primary never should have been held earlier then the DNC allowed. If you want to blame someone blame the Michigan State Government for that...Liike Granholm, and the rest of them for going against party rules to show their clout!!! Hillary Clinton agreed to these same rules before she stuck herself on the Michigan Ballot...so why whine now!! Also John Edwards, Brack Obama, and good old Hillary Clinton were told they could not campaigne in Florida or, Michigan because the primaries were held early against party rules, so they all complied, but now that Obama decided to come to Michigan, now it's not welcome..what do you people want???

I think alot of the American voters need to educate themselves first on the election processes before they throw blame where it does not belong. Blame Michigan, and Florida Srare Goernments, and the Democratic National Committee, and their rules..not the candidates!!! oh yeah, and before you ask I am 100% American , and was born, and raised in Michigan. I am a 50 yr old white female.</description>

		<description>To Wonderful Oregon and Kentucky Electorate - (Specially Young voters…  

- It’s now your turn to favor our Country with “Good Judgement” by electing the rightful candidate who will lead our country in overcoming our economic problems to a blissful years of prosperity again. A Candidate who is tested and will preside our country with “clear plans” and not by “mere words” to protect the safety and security of every Americans; and A candidate will not use and destroy the Reputation and Prestige of the Presidency for self aggrandizement of false hopes of dealing with government who advocates terrorisms without condition.
- You need to vote for a candidate who has no ties with anybody who hates America in any shape or forms.
- Don’t vote for a candidate who’s loyalty to the Flag and Country is questionable.
- Don’t be swayed by Flowery speeches without substance by some politician who thinks words are enough to solve our problems without clear plans and solutions.

- Oregon and Kentucky follow your heart! and Vote as Patriots!

Let’s have real CHANGE!

Elect a woman in the whitehouse!!!

What do you say Misogynist DNC Leaders???

- Vote Senator Hillary Clinton as President!</description>
