Living and breathing in the Second City
Helenann over at DailyKos is trying to brag about how much Obama has accomplished as a Senator. Among his accomplishments he lists 570 bills introduced or co-sponsored in in the three years he’s been in Washington. It baffles me that this would be considered an accomplishment. In fact, it baffles me that it’s even considered humanly possible, that one man could sponsor 570 different pieces of legislation. How absurd out government has become. Instead we consider it commonplace. Think about it, EVEN if they worked all year long, Monday through Friday, it would still work out to one bill every day and a half. If we actually look just at the time spent in DC, Obama was probably churning through legislation (or signing on to it) at a pace of two or three bills a DAY. Ridiculous. The whole lot of them.
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

What has Barack Obama done the entire time he has been in the Senate? Nothing! I do not see the draw when he has been there a year and began to run for President.
