Obama and his left wing cronies continue to bash America, while insisting that he is the messiah who will restore our country to it's former greatness ... and restore our status with the international community ... however, the international community continues to hold back aid to hungry and under privileged countries, while America continues to give much more foreign aid than other countries ... even the oil rich countries ... see the stats at:

"this is the moment, as Nancy [Pelosi] noted, that the world is waiting for." :) WTF?

"I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions," Holly Molly... This is utterly laughable!
What a clown this guy has turned into?
As some one said, Dems seems to be brainless creatures :)

I just can't wait for the ocean to roll back as soon as he's elected, as he promised in his victory speech over Mrs. Clinton.

Washington Compost?
It's always been like trying to find a couple of gold nuggets in a tar pit when it comes to finding true news in that paper.

'Credibility'? What is that? The Washington Post has NO idea, never did, never will.

The Washington Post has humiliated itself and ruined its credibility.

It is beyond appalling that such slime innuendo echoing radical right narrative is presented to ruin this once great publication.

FJ

Barack Obama recently finished a $500,000 total overhaul of his 757. And as part of the new design, he decided to remove the American flag from the tail...
What American running for President of the United States would remove the symbol of his country? And worse, he replaced the tail flag with it with a symbol of himself. BEWARE of this elitist...

Since that quote appeared in the Post, Obama supporters have claimed it's taken out of context, one Democratic staffer who was at the meeting says, quote, the Post left out the important first half of the sentence, It has become increasingly clear in my travel, the campaign, that the crowds, the enthusiasm, 200,000 people in Berlin, it`s not about me at all, it`s about America. I have just become a symbol.

Surely, Weisman must know, in some part of his brain, that you can't get a real "quotation" that way. In fact, there's no apparent reason to think that either "quotation" is actually accurate. But so what? This is the Washington Post! These dueling collections of words were close enough for presidential campaign work.

Weisman had obtained two recollections of what Obama had said. His two sources seemed to differ in their recollections. You'd think that anyone whose head wasn't stuck up his keister would understand a basic fact--there were no real "quotations" here. Simply put: We don't know what Obama said in that meeting. What we really seem to have is more like a pair of dueling paraphrases. But let's repeat that one key fact: We don't really know what he said.

http://dailyhowler.com/

Save the blastocysts! Your uterus belongs to the government, and don't forget it!
Now McCain's GOP wants to make CONTRACEPTIVES and the PILL = ABORTION. There is already legislation in the works. CHECK IT OUT IN TODAYS WALL STREET JOURNAL:

These people aren't concened with the health of ANYONE, human or blastocyst. They're agenda is, and alsways has been, to control women's bodies through the force of government. GREAT, we'll have McCains Bureaucrats telling women what they can and can't do with their bodies. Thank you "less-government" Republicans.

Obama voted against the 'born alive' act. He thinks it's just A-OK to kill babies who have survived abortion attempts, 'just toss em in the medical waste trash... Do any of us want this killer to be our president? Maybe next he will be killing us too, especially older Americans - it'd be more economical with his socialist health care. Why waste good money on the elderly, better to save the younger slaves to do all the work - maybe on his 'highways programs, or in his secret civilian security forces. This man, and I use the term very loosely, is one DANGEROUS SOB!!!

Out of context, hello??

Actual Quote:
It has become increasingly clear in my travel, the campaign, that the crowds, the enthusiasm, 200,000 people in Berlin, is not about me at all. It's about America. I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions.

That is called being HUMBLE folks, not arrogant!

I was in a really blah mood until I came here today and read all the posts. This has been a real pick me upper. Thank y'all.

It's funny to me about how many Obamamaniacs have gotten their drawers in a wad over a presumed (if any of the posters were there at the time of the statement, let me know) "taken out of context" statement.

Y'all crack me up!!!

Poor, pitiful Barack...getting picked on like that. That's just wrong!

It couldn't possibly be for any other reason than he's black.

No one's ever taken anything John McCain said out of context. Gimme a break. How 'bout the 100 year war.

Y'all keep the laughs coming.

I wouldn't call any of John McCain's adds sneering, merely highly opportunistic.

Many of the adds are played off Obama's numerous gaffes.

That's a standard tactic.

Hmm. Mediamatters.org? That's as fair and balanced as the McClatchy news service
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/226/story/20530.html

You want fair?
http://www.mediaresearch.org/
http://newsbusters.org/
These aren't exactly balanced unless you count they're centered on logic.

Sneering, smearing negative campaign adds (verging at times on blatant lies) against his democratic opponent seems to be McCain's
sole rationale for why he should be elected. Can it be that his toughts are so meger that his campaign is much more enthusiastic about jeering at his opponent than they are touting their own candidate's vision?

Obama is a megalomaniac of whose caliber is only matched by the Nabobs of Narcissism the ex-president Bill Clinton and John Kerry.

Arrogance is a trait of any aspiring Marxist-- he has it spades.
Another trait seems to be a willful and deliberate ignorance of history.

History has proven Government run health-care to a deadly farce, even a zero-sum game; however, that doesn't stop The Democratic Establishment's latest Pretty Boy Floyd from pursuing it.

I'm no fan of John McCain, he's too much of a democrat (a flaw of many so-called Republicans and Independents).
The events of this election have left me and others without a choice to vote for, (Tancredo, Hunter, Romney, or Thompson)
so I end doing something which is not supposed to be my measure.

I am Against Socialist Healthcare, Against race-baiting, Against Appeasement, Against Forfeit in Iraq and and other Territories we have any foothold.
I am against form of Government-controlled markets (with the sole exclusion of Defense Contractors [and then only that they can't sell to other countries])

I Vote Against an Obomination.

I vote Against his friends
http://www.theobamafile.com/ObamaSupporters.htm
I Vote Against his Intellectual Dishonesty
http://www.theobamafile.com/ObamaLies.htm

"The 200,000 souls who thronged to his speech in Berlin came not just for him ... "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."

-- What? I thought they came for the free beer and rock music.

Peggy wrote "you republicans are sickening"

Hey Peggy Hello!!! Remember us....it is the other half of the party, the DEMOCRAT party! Guess what we are NOT onboard with you and we are NOT going away! There are over 18 million of us.

There is no unity!

Obama was selected not elected via a grossly undemocratic and rigged process.

I am from Illinois-I am of African decent. I voted for Obama once already so get off my back that we are all racist.

I will NOT vote for him for POTUS. He is a deeply flawed candidate. Remember the goal was to take back the White House?

These are serious times and we need serious solutions.

The problem here is NOT that Obama is a black man, it's that he is an IGNORANT, RACIST, AMERICAN-HATING black man! Like Rev. Wright, he HATES the USA, his only love is for HIMSELF! His only intent in winning the White House is to turn the USA into the USSA - United Socialist States of America! WAKE UP AMERICA LOVERS - THIS MAN IS DANGEROUS - HE WILL DESTROY US IF HE CAN!!! We need to all get down on our knees and pray that the good lord above will get us out of this mess we've put ourselves into.

"I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions," he said.

Seriously?

This guy, who openly admits to illegal drug use, has Reverend Meeks, Reverend Wright, and Father Phleger as his spiritual leaders, hangs out with terrorist William Ayers, is best bussies and does illegal business with slumlord Tony Rezko, has an American-hating wife who complains constantly about America, makes sexist attacks on the Former First lady, pays his female staff members less than their male counterarts, calls women *sweetie* and offers up kisses for votes, tells reporters that the *vibrating* in his pocket is *just his cell phone*, makes up fake Presidential seals, and play acts that he is already President, removes the American flag from his lapel pin, his airplane, and (which I now believe) doesn't place his hand over his heart for the National Anthem, cancels trips to visit wounded Iraq vets, because he can't bring a camera, flip flops on major party policies, lies to the American people, and HE is the symbol of America returning to the best of our traditions????

Conservatives as usual are playing hard ball to win! It is all about building a narrative. Believe it, when I tell you that FOX, rove, hannity, rush and B team players like Weisman are trying to do something here. They cannot use race in an overt manner so they use arrogance as a CODE for UPPITY BLACK MAN. American has made great strides more than ANY OTHER NATION on planet earth to build a perfect society. The likes of rove, hannity and rush, i believe are the unacceptable face of american politics. And good citizens MUST do everything in our power to stop them (by disseminating information from credible sources). This election is too important to be distorted. Let the best man win on MERIT.

Please, read this article, pass it to your friends and post it to as my forums as you can. We owe it to our democracy to raise the alarm on what these characters are up to

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-jenkins/obama-still-does-not-know_b_115671.html

We are not as stupid as they presume we are. They are so presumptuous. Am I a racist for saying that?

I can't believe that Fox Freakin' News has taken over the Washington Post! When has it become acceptable journalism to take a snippet of a quote completely out of context and then wait until the very last paragraph to insert the missing sentences that show that the point being made in the quote is exactly the opposite of what was excerpted? What next from the Post -- removing the word "not" from quotes because they're not really necessary to understand what may have been meant. Ben Bradlee is rolling over in his grave, and he's not even dead yet.

God help this country if this man becomes president.

Wow!

I love you Barack!

Anyone else see the irony in someone complaining about smear campaigns yet they have NO PROBLEM labeling veterans who used their First Amendment rights to say something instead of focuing on what they were actually saying? Can anyone say hypocrisy?

hmm...wikipedia is a credible source and i leave the readers to read the entry and make up their own minds whether these men conducted themselves honourably

Wilipedia is a credible source? Are you serious? That really made me laugh out loud!

When you make these BOLD claims it will be useful if you provide a link to a credible source to back up your claims!! conservatives are used to making wild statements. From what i have read, I am not convinced that the clintons originated the muslim smear. It had been around for over a year before the clintons run with it. Here is a link to how the smear was originated and propagated.

Credible sources? Are you serious? You're going to post a link to some obscure website whose author is unknown, and you're going to ask ME to post a credible site? Think for yourself. All these came about when his delegate numbers exceeded Hillary's. The Clinton machine is famous for making these kinds of claims. I'll believe Dick Morris, who worked for the Clinton's over some skewed website. It works well with the timing. You can keep burying your head in the sand if you so wish.

Use periods.

Swiftboating? Don't these men, who are decorated veterans, have First Amendment rights to expose Kerry for the fraud that they believe that is was? But when people question Bush's guard service that's ok, right?

Posted by: knightrider | July 30, 2008 11:19 PM

your sarcasm is over the top, however you are not the problem. I think i am more concerned about the guys on top of the food chain. They understand what they are trying to do and i believe it is quite
subtle. The aim as always is to define the candiate. If you have been following these campaign as I have, you will understand that THIS MEME WAS orignated by ROVE and RUSH L!! that is the central issue here

I also find it interesting that George Soros can fund Air America and MoveOn.org and it's ROVE that's polluting the discourse...

I forgot to include my name in that last post

I suppose liberals to a limited extent do. However conservatives have mastered this art and it looks like their PRIMARY strategy. Even amongst themselves.remember the bush/mccain primary contest. Everybody knows what happened to gore and kerry. Swiftboating has entered our political lexicon.

Beth Barnat...you are quite possibly the dumbest person to have posted here today!! The guy was saying that the only people who are saying that there are people who thing Obama is and uppity black man are his supporters.
Are you that dense? He's saying, and I agree, that nowhere will you hear anybody who's against Obama say anything about his color or anything like that!! We don't like Obama because he's a liar...and they all are...but Obama pretends that he's much better than that and all he's ever accomplished is to get to the next level. In 8 years in the Illinois Senate, all the bills he co-sponsored and/or passed were given to him by Emil Jones. He didn't do any legwork on anything he submitted. Emil Jones gave him his legacy so that he (Jones) could "make me a U.S. Senator". Look it up!! Nobody is saying he's too young....we're saying he hasn't done anything to show that he's anything more than a good tele-prompter reader!!
Wake up, America! You're being snowed. And I'm sure that'll be taken as a racist comment because snow is white!!
It's sad that you can't disagree or say anything negative about Obama without being called a racist! You people are sad!! Ooops! I said you people...there'a another racist comment.
See??? I can't even say anything without making a bad comment! This country is going down the tubes...we've lost what it means to be an American...to disagree without fear of persecution.
But, I forgot! Obama is the symbol of what America should be!! What a crock!!

Thanks, dude. Because, the right-wingers really needed more establishment cover for their anti-Obama rantings. Good job.

I am a 57 white women who is democrat all my life and you republicans are sickening and believe me Obama regarless what color he is that guy has more class then anyone of you's and this country needs a change and up in Washington and you republicans and all the rest of you on the other side put this country where it is today and it just sickens me.

Posted by: Peggy | July 30, 2008 8:45 PM

How could you possibly know that unless you know Obama personally and every poster here personally?

As you said, hannity and rove are live now on FOX and hannity is using the
erroneous quotes and he his talking about it as FACT. He knows he is laying. He is congratulating rove for been the first person to use the word arrogant to describe obama. This guys are the unacceptable FACE of americam politics. They POLLUTE our political discourse

Unfortunately, Obama's supporters are the only ones that think people think Obama is an uppity black man.

Posted by: Beth Barnat | July 30, 2008 7:52 PM

What? That doesn't even make any sense. If his supporters thought that, they wouldn't be supporters. And if it was true, why would that be unfortunate?

Then I see the "Celebrity" ad. Tell me you think it's just a coincidence the other two celebs are Brittney Spears and Paris Hilton. Just happened to pick to hot white girls, and Paris' image even dissolves into Obama's. It's a not so subtle racist dog whistle. If you don't have a racist bone in your body, you just see two lightweight celebs being compared to Obama. But the dog whistle (only dogs can hear it) for racists, even if you don't consider yourself racist, is there - Barack's coming for your white women.

As you said, hannity and rove are live now on FOX and hannity is using the
erroneous quotes and he his talking about it as FACT. He knows he is laying. He is congratulating rove for been the first person to use the word arrogant to describe obama. This guys are the unacceptable FACE of americam politics. They POLLUTE our political discourse

I am a 57 white women who is democrat all my life and you republicans are sickening and believe me Obama regarless what color he is that guy has more class then anyone of you's and this country needs a change and up in Washington and you republicans and all the rest of you on the other side put this country where it is today and it just sickens me. So look out there is a change coming as far as McCain he is just another BUSH!!!!

conservatives always shout the loudest. Beth educate yourself. This was all started by Mr Rove and Rush L. Than Hannity and some commentators at FOX started running with it before the B team like Weisman jumped in. Please, read Paul Jenkins article on this.

Our kind of guy

Mr. Obama spent 20 years hanging around racists and anti-semites(not 20 seconds-20 years!)
It took him that long to do the right thing? Does his conscience take that long to kick in?

1. Mr. Obama is a first-term senator without a single important legislative achievement to his name.
2. Mr. Obama voted present nearly 130 times,quite a lot for a first term Senator.
3. Mr. Obama lectures on learning a foreign language, can speak none himself.
4. Mr. Obama has never produced a single peice of scholarship,or written anything of note.
5. He earned a law degree from harvard but never practiced law.
6. He did write a book. The subject? Himself.
7. Has he ever admitted he changed his mind or was wrong about anything?
8. on Iraq, Obama has held almost every conceivable position.
9. His Pro-Life (National Right to Life) rating=
2005 0%,
2006 0%,
2007 0%
His Pro-Abortion (NARAL) rating=
2005 100%,
2006 100%,
2007 100%

What does one innocent human life mean to God( not man, but God)?
10. On Iraq, he has held almost every conceivable opinion

Padre Pio, was a very holy man and a great mystic. Every time I think I've read about every book I written on the man come across another one. In this particular book on him which I was looking at recently, there was a person who told a story about going to him for confession. He told about Padre Pio becoming very angry at him for voting for a socialist. Later he went back to him for confession and told him that this time he did not vote for the socialist but he couldn't bring himself to vote for other candidate either, Again Padre Pio became very angry at him
and would not grant him absolution(forgiveness of sin) From this we have to conclude
that Padre Pio considered it a sin for someone to vote for a socialist and also to opt for not voting
at all either. Another story I read about him in another book was when he went up
to a person he didn't know and had never met and confronted him about being
a communist. In other words, to Padre Pio, a person's salvation was not exclusionary from
one's political considerations and what political party you belonged to or voted for (if the moral positions of such contradicted Christian teaching) could put your soul in jeopardy. And what about being an accessory to another's sin? If a politician has made clear his pro-abortion position and I vote for him and once he gets into office he carries through with his philosophy am I not guilty of aiding and abetting?

(The name of the book from which I got the Padre Pio story was "Stories of Padre Pio" by Katharina Tangari published by TAN books,Rockford Illinois translated from the Italian "Il Messaggio di Padre Pio". Madame Tagari knw Padre Pio for many, many years and was a "spiritual daughter" of him

Obama's voting record on abortion legislation gives every indication that as president he would support the Supreme Court's decisions that have made the procedure legal in most cases. Last August he voted against a proposal to codify a Bush administration policy that gives states the option of providing medical insurance to unborn children under the State Children's Health Insurance program. He also voted "no" on a 2006 bill to prohibit the transportation of a minor girl across state lines to obtain an abortion, if this would circumvent parental consent or notification laws in her home state.

We will have to ANWER TO GOD for our decisions people.

oooooh, I get a tingle in my leg just thinking about Great Leader! Oh how I love him! He is our savior! You fools that don't see this will get a boot up your ass to prove it real soon!

Yeah, right "today" McCain lost your vote. ROFL.

Here's the deal. Obamaphiles freaking out because the press isn't adoring their baby.

Even the bushbots didn't freak out over something this "nothing." Bush was quoted out of context all the time. Still is.

Get used to it and stop crying, Obamaphiles. If you win, it's the price of the white house. Grow up.

No matter, Sean Hannity and the rest will be screaming about it for weeks.
Great - you helped build this year's BS meme - Barack is an uppity black man.

**********************
Unfortunately, Obama's supporters are the only ones that think people think Obama is an uppity black man.

Most people think he's just an uppity, arrogant, megalomaniacal man (don't forget, he is half white!).

Stop with the "racism" attacks, will you? It's getting really old.

Jonathan Weisman, you really screwed this up royally. You took a humble comment and made it obnoxious, then "updated" it later leaving all these damned comments. I thought you were one of the responsible reporters, but not here. This huge error deserves an entire retraction, and your sarcastic tone is incredibly "presumptuous" and unbecoming to a true journalist.

How long are you Americans going to let these sneering courtiers dominate your public discourse?

It's not funny anymore.

And the Obama supoprters are no different than the Bush supporters when it somes to admitting they've got a whack job for a candidate.

This is what happens when you let the tv babysit your kids. They think clowns are okay for everything.

The guy can't help it,really! He's a Leo,they can't help it, their like cats.It's all about me,self-centered,get me to the podium mentality.Do we really want a president with a hollywood personality for four years?

FYI wrote: The ones that are the most racist are the 92% blacks that are voting for him for the color of his skin.

Great point, until you consider 100 percent of whites voted for a white candidate in '04, and '00, and'96 and '92, and '88 and '84, and ... well every presidential election in our history. Damn all those racist whites.

Hey, and 100 percent of blacks voted for a white candidate in '04 and '00 and '96 and '92 and on and on. Damn all those racist blacks.

And FYI, send my your address and I'll mail you a quarter so you can go buy a clue.

GAWD AWMIGHTY but I'm already missing Bush.

Didn't think THAT would happen.

Gosh, when you strip it of all context, truncate the first half of the quote and write a lede that says he's buying his own hype, it sure makes it sound bad.
But if you put it in context, it actually means the opposite.
No matter, Sean Hannity and the rest will be screaming about it for weeks.
Great - you helped build this year's BS meme - Barack is an uppity black man.

I am sick of the blacks making racial remarks when somebody doesn't like Obama. Obama is arrogant. He is full of himself. When a black man is running regardless of the fact that he is a junior senator they don't care about experience only skin color. Therefore if anyone else sees good reasons not to vote for Obama they must be racist. The ones that are the most racist are the 92% blacks that are voting for him for the color of his skin. It doesn't matter what the damage would be to this country. That is real racism. I am sick of everything that a black is involved in being about race. That seems to be the only thing on their minds. Other people do not think about race unless the blacks bring it up. Real idiots.

My "guess" is that the money is coming from Oprah...she owns (controls) the media...and she annointed him "the one". Gas and food prices aren't touching mighty O (or BO for that matter).
Yes, someone, show us the money (trail)!

The thing is...I don't want a SYMBOL for President...and we desperately need more than a SYMBOL. Obama appears to call his own shallowness out. He is a mere symbol, not a solution. Let's get someone in there who actually does more than make fancy speeches to adoring crowds.

Obama is a legend in his own mind.

Funny, because its always Leftists like you who are first to bring race into this conversation, as you just did now.

I am not a leftists... i am an independent

Admit it, you're praying for racist sentiment,

Nope....as i have said let both man debate about the merit of their ideas

so you can justify defending an empty suit like Obama.

the phrase empty suit does not mean anything. It is actually a silly phrase when used as a framework to define reality

The only difference between Obama and McCain is that McCain doesnt know what to say half the time and Obama doesnt know what he just said most the time. The illusion of "change" is just that. The idea that the President and both house will work together to accomplish anything for the average american is just as likely as republicans and democrats shaking hands. The Government is batting zero for the past 50 years. Ill be staying home this year because McCain is on the edge of senile and Obama is as far left as any canidate in hystory. screw them both.

Wow. Let's take something out of context, POINT OUT that it's being taken out of context, POINT OUT that the context really doesn't support your premise, and STILL try to use it to defame the man.

I had hoped that we might finally get a campaign where the candidates had an open, frank, and factual discussion of the issues. All that went out the window when McCain discovered he was losing and brought in Schmidt and Team Rove to spin his message and trash the competition.

But the REALLY sad thing is how many brain-dead people can't see how this is destroying our country. The sad state of political discourse in this nation is more damaging than any other aspect of government: more dangerous than terrorism, more dangerous than oil, more dangerous than failed systems. It's more dangerous because it stands in the way of our nation coming together to solve any of these other problems.

As others have pointed out, this post is utterly false; the "quote" was distorted by Dana Milbank and others, and bears no resemblance to what Senator Obama actually said. The Post should issue a correction immediately.

Oh, I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you over the sound of how awesome Barack Obama is.

"They [the Right] cannot use race in an overt manner so they use arrogance as a CODE for UPPITY BLACK MAN."

Funny, because its always Leftists like you who are first to bring race into this conversation, as you just did now. Admit it, you're praying for racist sentiment, so you can justify defending an empty suit like Obama.

Why don't you print the entire quote, Weisman? You know, the one that begins "But its not all about me. It's *just* that I have become a symbol..." That can't be simple sloppiness; it's clearly a deliberate attempt to distort Obama's meaning. I see the Post has now dispensed with any semblance of journalistic integrity - nothing more than propaganda now.

The people that live in the heartland of America, swing states like Ohio, Penn., Ky,WV...will not vote for a presumptious person like Obama.

He clearly is an elitist.
He clearly will raise taxes.
He clearly will have no idea what to do in the event of an emergency.

He thinks he is running for Gen. Secreatariat of the UN or the EU.

Conservatives as usual are playing hard ball to win! It is all about building a narrative. Believe it, when I tell you that FOX, rove, hannity, rush and B team players like Weisman are trying to do something here. They cannot use race in an overt manner so they use arrogance as a CODE for UPPITY BLACK MAN. American has made great strides more than ANY OTHER NATION on planet earth to build a perfect society. The likes of rove, hannity and rush, i believe are the unacceptable face of american politics. And good citizens MUST do everything in our power to stop them (by disseminating information from credible sources). This election is too important to be distorted. Let the best man win on MERIT.

Please, read this article, pass it to your friends and post it to as my forums as you can. We owe it to our democracy to raise the alarm on what these characters are up to

LOLLOLLOLLOL CAN YOU READ AND COMPREHEND? IF SO READ ALL:
Ted Sampley, a Vietnam Veteran and former Green Beret, issued a CHALLENGE to John McCain "If you can show us that the information presented in our mailer is untruthful . . . we will Stand Down" This CHALLENGE was issued during an interview with INSIDE EDITION on January 17, 2008.
John, family members of Vietnam POW/MIA(s) have been waiting for more then 14 years for you to have the courage to face them eye to eye in front of the American Public - Here is your opportunity for some "STRAIGHT TALK." Stop hiding behind your fabricated "War Hero" persona. You know we can prove your collaborations with declassified government documents . . . It is time for the American people to get to know the REAL John McCain - the John McCain that the POW/MIA families witnessed during the 1991-93 US Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs .
Bring It On John! HERE IS OUR NUMBER 252-527-0442

OBAMA:
Those are some of the wonkier things he's done. (There are others: introducing legislation to make it illegal for tax preparers to sell personal information, for instance, and legislation on chemical plant security and lead paint.) He has done other things that are more high-profile, including:

His "health care for hybrids"
