    13 years in the IL legislature is not nothing

    It's called a career in public service.

    Name an accomplishment? Getting jobs for poor black folk as a community organizer ain't 'nuff for ya, huh? Who cares about them anyway?

    Name one of Clinton or McCain's accomplishments, tough guy. They got us into the Iraq war, I guess. McCain passed an abortion of a campaign finance bill that he doesn't even support any more. Hillary came up with an 800+ page monstrosity of a health care abortion of a bill.

    Anyway, here's something he accomplished -- he won the democratic nomination for POTUS.
