  1. Duh Suzy... he's dreamy. Oh and I could just lose myself in that smile. Plus he's slender and Hillary looks like a pear... and that sets a good example for pudgy kids in America. He's bi-racial so he's like a race relations superhero. Then there's the fact that he tells the truth ALL of the time which is way-cool. And like, he's really political and stuff. But most of all the accomplishment that makes me smile is that he thwarted the coronation of Queen Hillary.

    - Obama passed legislation with Republican Senator Jim Talent to give gas stations a tax credit for installing E85 ethanol refueling pumps. The tax credit covers 30 percent of the costs of switching one or more traditional petroleum pumps to E85, which is an 85 percent ethanol/15 percent gasoline blend.

    - After a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama worked with law enforcement officials to require the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases.

    - His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent.

    - Obama created the Illinois Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income working families in 2000 and successfully sponsored a measure to make the credit permanent in 2003. The law offered about $105 million in tax relief over three years.

    - Obama joined forces with former U.S. Sen. Paul Simon (D-IL) to pass the toughest campaign finance law in Illinois history. The legislation banned the personal use of campaign money by Illinois legislators and banned gifts from lobbyists. Before the law was passed, one organization ranked Illinois worst among 50 states for its campaign finance regulations.

    - As a member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Senator Obama has fought to help Illinois veterans get the disability pay they were promised, while working to prepare the VA for the return of the thousands of veterans who will need care after Iraq and Afghanistan.

    - He traveled to Russia with Republican Dick Lugar to begin a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world.

    - Obama has been a leading advocate for protecting the right to vote, helping to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act and leading the opposition against discriminatory barriers to voting.

    - In the U.S. Senate, Obama introduced the STOP FRAUD Act to increase penalties for mortgage fraud and provide more protections for low-income homebuyers, well before the current subprime crisis began.

    - Obama sponsored legislation to combat predatory payday loans, and he also was credited with lobbied the state to more closely regulate some of the most egregious predatory lending practices.

    - Barack Obama introduced the Patriot Employer Act of 2007 to provide a tax credit to companies that maintain or increase the number of full-time workers in America relative to those outside the US; maintain their corporate headquarters in America; pay decent wages; prepare workers for retirement; provide health insurance; and support employees who serve in the military.

    - Obama worked to pass a number of laws in Illinois and Washington to improve the health of women. His accomplishments include creating a task force on cervical cancer, providing greater access to breast and cervical cancer screenings, and helping improve prenatal and premature birth services.

    - Obama has introduced and helped pass bipartisan legislation to limit the abuse of no-bid federal contracts.

    - Obama and Senator Feingold (D-WI) took on both parties and proposed ethics legislation that was described as the "gold standard" for reform. It was because of their leadership that ending subsidized corporate jet travel, mandating disclosure of lobbyists' bundling of contributions, and enacting strong new restrictions of lobbyist-sponsored trips became part of the final ethics bill that was signed into law.

  3. To the little pink houses comment by Lori, who like so many others have a few things confused. 1st of all, Senator Clinton is doing what all politicians have a right to do. No one has the right to insist that she bow out. The DNC and the elite media have screwed up the party, not Senator Clinton. Senator Obama has turned his back on the voters, the people of two states. We are a nation of 50 states, not 48. Senator Obama has no record to speak of, can you name even one accomplishment? Are you so certain he doesn't share Rev. Wright's ideals? How can you be so sure? Because we can do worse than George Bush and it doesn't necessarily have to be a Republican that does it. Snap out of it, people.

  9. Little Pink Houses - Not White Houses

    Mrs Clinton, if you really care about the people, quit now. It's only your selfishness that keeps our party at risk. Let us move forward. Sure people can unite, but the sooner the better. You say you understand the need for a party change, you are putting it at risk. Be a real american hero and step down.
