You left out some things.

His superior at the Developing Communities Project said that there was no lasting impact from his work. He worked hard and accomplished very little.

Harvard Law Review editor has various ways of getting on it. One way is affirmative action. Presently there are 87 of them. They never tell how anybody makes it. He was elected president in his second year as editor. A very strange thing though. He never had any of his papers published in it and that is one of the perks of being one of them.

Magna c um laude is the top 20% of the class. Summa c um laude is the top 4%.

The reason he was given a job at the Chicago University originally was to write a book. He didn't complete it then with over a year working on it. That was his only job at that point. He took a sabbatical later to complete it in Hawaii.

His friend and mentor for 20 years preached the Black Liberation Theology. That is a hate America view that teaches that all things are to be looked at through the concept that blacks are throwing off the yoke of whitey holding them down. One sermon that Wright did said Jesus was a black man crucified by the white Romans. He listened to this garbage for 20 years.

His kickoff into politics was helped by Tony Rezco and Bill Ayres. Somehow all candidates against him were disqualified because of not enough signatures. This is something that the are careful about and get a lot of extra signatures. That is fishy. His kickoff fund raiser was at the house of his friend Bill Ayres. He has worked side by side with Bill Ayres and had meals in his house.

During his 8 years in the legislature he voted present a whole lot of times. Apparently could not make up his mind. He voted 3 times against the born alive bill and let babies born of botched abortions just lay in a garbage dump die there. as Chairman, Health and Human Services Committee he refused to allow the wording of the federal law that was passed with 97 votes in the Senate be put in the bill. He then said if that wording had been in the bill he would have voted for it. He also worked against a bipartisan group of legislators that were trying to clean up Chicago politics. He was a good boy and voted for the Daley corrupt machine.

He NEVER created or worked to create ANY legislation.

His Senate work was only for 1 year. Since then he has been absent most of the time while running for office. He did however rack up the voting record when he voted of the absolute most left wing Senator. While present he did not vote on many bills following his present vote style in the Legislature. He picked as his running mate the Senator with the third most liberal voting record. Historically that has been a death knell for running for office.

It does not matter how many committees he has been placed on but what work he has done on them. Since he started running for president he has done very little work there.

Where is the leadership qualities of reaching across the aisle to get good legislation? NEVER
Where is the decisive voting record making the tough decisions on the bills presented to vote on? GONE WITH THE WIND (Voting PRESENT or not voting when present in the Senate)

> Major International Relations Thesis topic: Soviet nuclear disarmament

You could put the whole McCain and Palin clans together and you still would not have an ounce of understanding of soviet nuclear disarmament in the room.

This is what scares me. McCain is not bright enough to understand anything that complicated and Palin is not experienced enough to understand. Put them in the WH and watch them get manipulated just like Cheney and the others manipulated Bush for the benefit of special interests like Cheney at the cost of several thousand GI lives and trillions of dollars sucked out of our economy.
