You should stop getting your talking points from DU.

First, Obama was elected to the state Senate in 1996. He was a State Senator, not a House member. (I know Larry called him a "rep", but a Senator "represents" his district, so maybe Larry was using a generic term.... Who cares?)

Second, the story about the graduation dates is bogus. That Navy school graduates people every weekend.

Actually I got it from another blog. It is kind of hard to get reliable information on this since no mainstream media source will touch it. I also heard that the Globe magazine said he has been convicted of fraud several times and that he has mental issues. But who knows?

I doubt this is going to fly just based on his word.

I did try to verify this because at the blog I was at they said there still were problems with the Nov 3-8 date and found that they do graduate most weeks on Friday, but noticed sometimes they do skip a week. Here is their current schedule where one week is missed

TG 12 (5) Divisions (077 – 080 & 912) Graduate Friday, 08 Feb 08

TG 13 (13) Divisions (081 – 092 & 913) Graduate Friday, 15 Feb 08

TG 15 (8) Divisions (093 – 098 & 914, 915) Graduate Friday, 29 Feb 08

TG 16 (7) Divisions (099 – 104 & 916) Graduate Friday, 07 Mar 08

TG 17 (9) Divisions (105 – 112 & 917) Graduate Friday, 14 Mar 08

TG 18 (12) Divisions (113 – 123 & 918) Graduate Friday, 21 Mar 08

TG 19 (9) Divisions (125 – 132 & 919) Graduate Friday, 28 Mar 08

They did skip 22 Feb 08.
