For those who ask "what has Obama done?"
From Wikipedia:
109th Congress -


Hmmm...seems like he CAN work across the aisle...

Also:


No experience in international relations? Beg to differ.

110th Congress -

Later in 2007, Obama sponsored with Kit Bond (R-MO) an amendment to the 2008 Defense Authorization Act adding safeguards for personality disorder military discharges, and calling for a review by the Government Accountability Office following reports that the procedure had been used inappropriately to reduce government costs.<72> He sponsored the "Iran Sanctions Enabling Act" supporting divestment of state pension funds from Iran's oil and gas industry,<73> and joined Chuck Hagel (R-NE) in introducing legislation to reduce risks of nuclear terrorism.<74> A provision from the Obama-Hagel bill was passed by Congress in December 2007 as an amendment to the State-Foreign Operations appropriations bill.<74> Obama also sponsored a Senate amendment to the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to provide one year of job protection for family members caring for soldiers with combat-related injuries.<75> After passing both houses of Congress with bipartisan majorities, SCHIP was vetoed by President Bush in early October 2007, a move Obama said "shows a callousness of priorities that is offensive to the ideals we hold as Americans."<76>"


Yep - he CAN work across the aisle.

You're welcome for the education.

NOW, the challenge for Clinton Supporters - let's see you put Her resume (with specifics, please) out here as I have with Obama.

1. Hillary's desperate opponent can't even convene his commitee
The Clinton admistration had one of the best foreign policy runs in modern American history.

4. His SUBcommittee ... whose issues are being ably handled by ...
the FULL committee. As has been admitted by many legislators,
SUBcommittees often see no point in meeting (and some don't
meet for several years at a time) if the full committee is
addressing those concerns.

Why waste time if there's no need? Just holding a meeting
doesn't guarantee anything will get done (even if anything
NEEDS to be done). This issue is all window-dressing ...
