Murphy is more prepared than Obama

Posted August 07, 2009 11:00 pm

You have to love the "Daily Herald." First they ignore Matt Murphy by leaving his name out of a list of Republican candidates. Now, the editorial board is trying a different technique, by saying "If Obama wasn't ready, is Murphy?"

I didn't know that State Senator Matt Murphy of Palatine was running for president. Matt Murphy is running for governor of Illinois, which is in a big financial mess. Barack Hussein Obama is the president, but he has less actual experience than Matt Murphy. Barack Hussein Obama accomplished next to nothing as a state senator in Illinois. Then he got elected to the senate, what did he accomplish? Nothing.

However, he immediately started to run for president and continued to be paid as a senator. Nice deal. So, where is his core competency? He is a "community activist" or a "community organizer." What did he accomplish?

He worked with ACORN (now implicated for voter fraud in numerous states) to shake down banks to provide people home loans that could not be repaid. Sound familiar?

Matt Murphy is an honest hardworking public servant. He is a leader in the state senate and addresses the issues with intelligence and conviction. He is a fiscal conservative and would be a great governor of Illinois.
