Obama's Leadership Qualifications: What's He Done?

In his lifetime, what has Mr. Obama done to demonstrate a real ability to lead? Are there any significant pieces of legislation that emerged from his Illionois State legislative career? Anything out of his US Senate career? Anything you can point to and say "This man is very close to being President, but outside of many Americans desire to see a change in the party in power and being inspired by oratory, what exactly has this man done in his lifetime to make us believe he could sit in the most powerful seat of leadership in the world and be competent and effective?"

Is there anything on his resume that reflects Presidential ability?

He trained ACORN members on how to shake down banks to force them to give loans to people who couldnt afford to pay them back.

What is a "Loophole?"
Robert Novak

How would Barack Obama pay for the $800 billion that John McCain claimed in the first presidential debate Sept. 26 in Oxford, Miss., that his Democratic opponent would spend if he were elected president? Obama replied, by "closing tax loopholes."

Obama was no more specific in the debate, and tax experts doubt that structural changes without increasing taxes can raise anything close to that amount of money.

LOL! I also understand he got asbestos out of a government project housing in Chicago about 20 years ago.

unfortunatly he didnt succeed in getting the people out of the projects... its been 20 years and those same people are still there, only now they have another 2 or 3 generations living with them.

Are you kidding? The Obama lovers won't touch ANY thread that calls them out on the whys for their blind loyalty to Obama in spite of the GLARING ISSUES with this man and his track record (or lack thereof) and his dubious associations.

Notice also the attacks against Palin but McCain goes unattended. These guys know that the only way to win is to degrade Palin cause no one wants to deal with a true American hero.

The gap will close beginning tonight.

Think of it. The party in power is seated during one of the worst financial crises in our lifetimes and Obama can only get a five point lead in the polls? He should be destroying McCain. in the polls. The fact that it is still anybody's game should be cause for fear among Obamination. The Obama campaign is in real trouble and he is going to lose on November 4. Mark it down.
