Obama hasn't put in the time
As 2008 Election Day approaches, I would like all Illinois residents to ask themselves one simple question before entering the ballot booth. What has your senator, Barack Obama, actually done for your home state? Wasn't he voted into the United States Senate to represent the U.S., not to run for President? For all of you that do not know, he spent approximately 143 actual days as a senator before running for President. And don't get me started on the number of times he voted "present" in the Illinois Senate.
