Obama's Record

Barrack Obama is relatively young for a presidential candidate, which means there should be plenty of records and people around who could speak of his greatness and all of his accomplishments. There was his time as president of the Harvard Law Review, his years as a community organizer, his stint as an Illinois state legislator, his brief time as a U.S. Senator. Maybe I am missing something, but I just don't hear the testimonials pouring in. These past jobs are included in his resume, but there is never a mention of any accomplishment while in any of those positions. It's not like he is widely known for transforming poverty or education in Chicago. In fact he is not even known for changing anything while in Chicago. If that was the case, don't you think you would hear something along the line of "where he was widely credited for . ."? As president of the HLR, Obama apparently never wrote an article or opinion. My understanding is that, along with being able to add this position to your resume, writing for the Review is a big reason for seeking this position. Obama apparently was satisfied with just obtaining the position. All of this to me just goes to how little we really know about this guy. All we know is what he and his campaign tells us, which is a lot of fluff and little substance. This is the kind of stuff that is typically attributed to someone who can talk a good game, but cannot deliver when it matters. We all know Obama can deliver a nice speech. What no one knows is whether he can deliver when it matters. He's never done it before.
