14. Oops...looks like your "homework" is INCOMPLETE...

BTW- I'm a professional educator. Your tone is a bit condescending.

Obama projects himself as the "peace" candidate and the "anti-war" candidate. Apparently he doesn't think impeachment of the war criminals that occupy our White House is "warranted"... WOW!!! I wonder what it WOULD take for Mr. Obama to honor his oath of office and proceed as he is LEGALLY bound to do so as a serving, active US Senator? Never mind. The "educated progressives" in this nation already know the answer.

I don't have a dog in this fight. I haven't decided WHO I'm voting for. One thing IS clear...you are being disingenuous about Obama. That's not cool.

Why didn't you post THIS from the mediamatters.org link that you provided?

On the other hand, the achievements Obama has to tout are thin. "I've done more than any candidate in this race to actually take on lobbyists, and I've won," he boasts. Well, yes, he championed ethics reforms in the Senate but left much of the heavy lifting to others while he campaigned.

"I expanded health care in Illinois by bringing Democrats and Republicans together, by taking on the insurance industry," he asserts. Actually, his signature legislation as a state senator, the Health Care Justice Act, merely set up a panel to craft a plan.

Obama also sounds a bit green when he vows that "I will finish the fight against al-Qaeda" -- a battle nobody expects will wrap up in the next four years.

You see? We educated progressives DO OUR HOMEWORK by actually READING links provided to us in the OP.

You love Barack. Wonderful. Lovely. I guess I'm just not there yet. There's too much damaging info out there to suit this progressive. You might want to take an objective look instead of continually berating those that don't agree with your assessments and/or assertions. It's all out there. Don't fret. There's plenty of time to complete that homework assignment. It just requires a little critical thinking and an OBJECTIVE point of view.

Have a good one.
