Obama Worked Less Than 2 Days Per Week In The Illinois Senate
The Patriot Room ^ | September 8, 2008 | Bill Dupray

Posted on 09/08/2008 2:25:28 PM PDT by Bill Dupray

Good thing he has that Community Organizer thing on his resume, otherwise people might start wondering if he ever had a real job before coming to the U.S. Senate. Obama’s Illinois Senate job was a pretty good part-time gig. One would have plenty of extra time to nurture nascent Hope and Change. A Hillary supporter did some digging at the height of the primary battle and found out how often the Illinois Senate convened during Obama’s tenure.

Not only that, a local Chicago reporter also has reported that, though Obama spent 7 years in the state senate, he built his entire legislative record in one year, and none of it was his.

Personally, I think the dirty little secret about Obama is that he’s plain lazy.

I guess that the rest of the day was spent drinking beer with his commie pals.

Of course he is. That’s a common trait of people who think they are entitled to things.

The MSM loved to report how lazy Fred Thompson was, but nary a word about the The Messiah lazing about in the bong smoke.

Does anyone remember the guy, I think he was a teacher, who followed Hussein Obama egging him for a picture? The media recorded I believe three or more instances where the guy, relentless kept haranguing Hussein Obama for a picture. Hussein Obama finally said and I quote, "You're wearing me out brother."

I remember it was during the primaries but, do not remember what city and state.

I remember that incident.

He told the guy, okay you can get your picture but I’m not going to smile.

Empty suit, empty head.

Obama hasn’t spend much time at his US Senate job, but then, neither has McCain.

Elected officials should be forced to resign from their current position BEFORE they can run for another elective position.

I remember that as well. I want to say it was Pennsylvania, shortly after the comment in SF about disgruntled commoners holding on to their guns and religion.

Maybe that’s all his pay grade would allow. Union rules and all that.

I’m from Illinois and I never heard of him before he ran for U.S. Senate - and he won that by default. He was way behind and an 11th hour scandal caused the Repub. opponent to drop out. I wish SOMEONE would dig up his victory celebration that night and show the first introduction of the big mouth, conceited, stage-hog Michelle.

I'm willing to buy into that except for one thing: How'd he get such a good primary campaign and caucus machine together? Was he lucky in who supported him, or was there some Machiavellian talent on his part?

Easy, M&M! (Michelle and the Marxists) Look at who would benefit from his election.

I’ve been saying this for a long time, to anyone who will listen.
Obama is and always has been, an absentee legislator.

Are you insinuating that he has more often than not had a job that paid him for not-showing up for work?

I know. :-)

I was riffing on one of his past comments about drinking beer while watching football.
