Kirk Watson on Barack Obama

Click! I saw this this morning and he just couldn't answer the question of what are some of Barack Obama's legislative accomplishments. This guy, Kirk Watson, just COULDN'T answer. Not for a lack of accomplishments to list, but because he was taken by surprise by the question when he was really expecting to talk about Obama's big win in the Wisconsin primary. But, here are some of the accomplishment Watson lists in his article:


Senator Obama’s fight for universal children’s health care in Illinois.
His success bringing Republicans and Democrats together (a huge selling point for me in general) on bills such as the one in Illinois requiring police interrogations and confessions to be videotaped.
His leadership on ethics reform in Washington (the bill that lobbyists and special interests are complaining about right now has his name on it).
His bill to make the federal budget far more transparent and accessible to Americans via the Internet – we could use that openness in Texas.
And his vital work with Republicans to lock down nuclear weapons around the world.
So, yeah, you Conservatives and RWNJs (Right Wing Nut Jobs), especially you Jewish ones (and shame on all you for going Republican), can say all you want about Obama's lack of experience, but the man knows how to get things done quickly, efficiently, and he gets it right when he pursues a goal.
