After they lowered the bar to allow students who did not have the highest GPA to be the President of the Harvard Law Review.

He didn't accomplish it on the merits.

I believe that's from February. Just wondering, how come you are showing it now? I understand that it is still true.

Do you want us to forget that as well?
No. Please don't forget his accomplishments. They are posted on his website. And you will see, there are a LOT more than "none."

A lot more.

Of course, I expect you to maintain message discipline and continue to spread this falsehood of "no accomplishments." But at least you will have the benefit of knowing the reality.

And there... my 1,000th post. Each better than the one before.

Again, has he accomplished anything in the last 4 months?

Oh wow. So, that means we can assume YOU will NOT be using ANYTHING that relates to McCain that is more than 4 months old??? That's YOUR new rule now, right?

I certainly won't be posting stuff that was revealed four months ago as if it were a new, stunning revelation.

That would mean my argument was shallow and weak.

In your opinion. In my opinion, if something was discovered 4 or more months ago, and there has been no adequate exlpanation by Obama's camp since then, we should revisit it repeatedly until such an explanation is provided!
That is just due diligence, but I certainly understand why you, as an Obama supporter, would want these things to be pushed aside as "old" and "irrelevant"!

Out of curiosity, why does anyone expect Obama to have accomplished a lengthy list of things when he's just two years into his term as a junior senator?

And what do you consider "accomplishments"?

The man has sponsored legislation, voted on legislation, proposed amendments to legislation, participated in debate about legislation.... and so on.

Junior senators don't have a lot of influence and don't sit on the plum committees, so they don't get nearly as many of their sponsored bills passed. But that doesn't mean they're just sitting around doing nothing, or are totally ineffective.

Junior Senators shouldn't be running for President, since they have no qualifications for the office.

Well why not just say that, then, rather than pretending that he should have accomplished something but didn't?
