[QUOTE=Das Ken;2780426]So as nuu said "major bipartisan bills on government transparency, ethics reform and nuclear proliferation."

Lets examine this, a bill on government transparency creating this?

Beautiful stuff. Takes something any competent person could find on their own but streamlines it. I'm fine with that, anything made easier is good.

A bill on ethics reform which is pretty much fluff? Yep. It sounds good but doesn't really change anything.

And nuclear proliferation? Come on now, what is he going to do? Russia still has them and is helping others get them in Iran and Venezuela at least. Do people really think he's going to do anything to stop them?

Obama has done nothing of value in the Senate. Straight up, Congress is not made for the freshmen members, so even if he had these grand ideas he couldn't have gotten them passed. As of now he's simply a puppet of the Democratic party with a false message of change. Is he intelligent? Absolutely. Is he a politician? Of course. He's a great speaker and probably a really great guy but that doesn't make someone president... until now it seems.[/QUOTE]


Nuclear proliferation is probably the single most important security issue we face.

Mocking it makes you look foolish.

Obama co-sponsored it with Dick Lugar, a Republican, and a guy who has a long, serious track record on the issue going back to the end of the Cold War. He says it was a significant accomplishment, btw.
