Obama sets out to build legacy of achievement
Washington Times ^ | January 17, 2005 | Brian DeBose

In November, Sen. Barack Obama became the first black man elected to the Senate as a Democrat, but doesn't intend that historical first to be his only achievement.

"I haven't done anything yet, and I didn't get elected to just sit there and say I did it," said Mr. Obama, of Illinois.

An edict is being sent out to all Illinois citizens. A sacred shrine to Obama will be required to be built in every residence. Local MSM has knighted, sainted and blessed him daily.

Seriously, let's just track his voting record and his fate will be set. If he strays from the leftists he will lose their favor. If he stays the liberal he really is, the US majority will sink him.

I haven't done anything yet

What does the Sin-ate do anyway? A sloth is more active than any part of the "most deliberative body in the world". Obama's going to have to step on a few toes ... Kennedy, Clinton, McCain, Byrd, the psychotic RINO's ... go luck navigating that minefield of arrogant egos. Obama is there to wave the racism charge at the GOP. No more than a common whore, bought and paid for by the DNC.

He's the typical star in the Dem party these days; he's against gay marriage, but for the judicial imposition of them, he's personally against abortion, but for a judiciary that prevents even the most reasonable restrictions on them, etc etc etc...

The last was Sen. Ed Brooke from Massachusetts. Served from 1967 to 1979, defeated for reelection by Paul Tsongas. He was the first black ever elected to the Senate by popular vote.

I saw that Obama was on the George Sore@$$ funding plan, which gives him a second strike, to go with that (D) next to his name. The third strike can be his leftist votes as soon as he gets a chance to do that.

Obama had better do something.

I'm sure he intends to:

  1. Pass more gun control
  2. Pass more tax increases
  3. Expand entitlement programs
  4. Grow the EPA and IRS enforcement budgets
  5. create more federal hate crimes
I'm sure there are lots of accomplishment he's trying for.

Point of information on Obama:

During his time in the Illinois Senate, when it became known that living, breathing babies who had managed to survive abortions were being killed outright, Barack Obama blocked legislation that would have ended the heinous practice.

Look for him to carry water for every radical leftist organization in Washington.

He will have perfect ratings with all of them. Watch.

He will be so liberal that Clinton, Kennedy, Kerry, et al will fall to his right on the spectrum...

And he's really not that bright, either.

Empty liberal suit.
