Interesting. There's probably a lot of things about Obama that will come out in the coming months.

Hmmm, I don't see anything illegal here.
He encountered a problem, ran into a huge roadblock, and managed to get at least something passed it.
Maybe he should not have stated that he "passed it" when it hasn't gotten that far.
But there's hardly anything here that's damning; although it does make the Nuclear Power Industry argument "It's safe" look less and less true.

Say what you will about Hillary, but I believe she's cares about health care, national security, and the economic viability of the middle class.
I don't know what Obama's passions are, beyond making history, and creating ""Change". He says he can bring Republicans into the fold. What is he willing to trade to bring them on board? Given how the GOP feels about taxes, the military, and "socialized medicine" where will a President Obama make the concessions, just to get something passed?

Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obama have in terms of actual work days? Not much.
From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.
143 days -- I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that.
In contrast, John McCain's 26 years in Congress, 22 years of military service including 1,966 days in captivity as a POW in Hanoi now seem more impressive than ever. At 71, John McCain may just be hitting his stride.
