A Folksy Bill Moment
Per NBC/NJ's Carrie Dann, here's Bill Clinton, in Greenfield, IN, today remarking on the applause he always receives for his line about the need to scrap No Child Left Behind:
"If you dropped me in the middle of Idaho, where there isn't a Democrat for 200 miles, if I said that line the elk would applaud me. The moose would bow down."

Humble bastard, isn't he? 1990s redux. The
best reason to keep his wife out of the White
House. She might drag him with her if she wins.
We can't have that.

Obama claims 7 years experience in the Illinois legislature - Working Across the Aisles, Bringing people together to get good CHANGES passed -as exemplified by 26 good bills with his name on them.
A Chicago reporter says all 26 bills were passed in ONE Year - AND the Bills were not his.

EXCERPTS:
But what’s interesting, and almost never discussed, is that he built his entire legislative record in Illinois in a single year.
Republicans controlled the Illinois General Assembly for six years of Obama’s seven-year tenure.
Then Emil Jones Jr. (became the Senate Majority leader), He became Obama’s kingmaker.
Jones appointed Obama sponsor of virtually every high-profile piece of legislation, angering many rank-and-file state legislators who had more seniority than Obama and had spent years championing the bills.
During his seventh year in the state Senate, Obama ... sponsored a whopping 26 bills including many he now cites in his presidential campaign when attacked as inexperienced.
Working Across the Aisles/ Making CHANGES = ZILCH
Taking Credit for Other People's Work/
INTEGRITY = ZERO
HONESTY = ZERO
