To be technical, Obama was elected to the US Senate on January 7, 2005.
He only logged in 143 days in the Senate while it was in session.
Governor Palin deals with more real decisions in a month than Obambi has in his entire political career, given that Obambi has never held an executive position and has spent most of his brief legislative career as a total no-show or else casting “present” votes (in Illinois Senate) in order to avoid taking a stand. If the MSM and Demagogues want to get into a detailed comparison of the two records it will quickly become evident that Obambi HAS NO RECORD worth speaking of...... so of course the drive-bys will have to limit themselves to potshots.
