I listed it as ONE of his accomplishments. His stance on the issues and plans for how to bring about change are his real points. Palin's real points are the fact she's a woman and that she has minimal execultive experience in the middle of nowhere. well done. During which time she did exactly what McCain is campaigning against. Wastefull pork barrel spending. well done.way to stay on message.

So you can give us one real accomplishment of Obama.....?
Chosing Biden who was longer in Washington than McCain.
I still haven't read the accomplishment you think there is....maybe you can spell it out?
The Governor has you folks fooled by a commitment letter from a foreign company to do work that hasn't been started and won't be completed for ten years that is being funded off the backs of her constituents. - experience...bleh
Sort of parallels Obama's commitment letter to purchase a home from a 16 count convicted felon; funded off the back of his constituents. . . if I could get a deal from friends like that it'd be a big change to my economic situation!

I did! being a community organizer is an ACCOMPLISHMENT
Helping pass legislation in the Illinois State Senate and US Senate is an ACCOMPLISHMENT
Instilling hope in all people in the country to reach for something more, is an ACCOMPLISHMENT. You can't hang it on the wall, but I think that is an invaluable asset he has helped give our country.

“With USAspending.gov, information on how taxpayers’ hard-earned money is being spent in Washington will just be a mouse-click away. This sort of transparency breeds accountability among those entrusted with spending the public’s money,” said Jim Nussle, OMB Director.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senators Barack Obama (D-IL) and Tom Coburn (R-OK) today introduced the Strengthening Transparency and Accountability in Federal Spending Act of 2008 (S.3077), which would expand the information available on USASpending.gov, as well as make the data more accessible and readable. USASpending.gov (aka "Google for Government"), created by the Coburn-Obama Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 and launched in December 2007, makes public information about nearly all Federal grants, contracts, loans and other financial assistance available in a regularly updated, user-friendly, and searchable format.
The Strengthening Transparency and Accountability in Federal Spending Act of 2008 has been endorsed by the American Association of Law Libraries, Americans for Democratic Action, Americans for Tax Reform, the Center for American Progress, the Center for Democracy & Technology, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, the Environmental Working Group, the Federation of American Scientists, the Government Accountability Project, the National Taxpayers Union, OMB Watch, OpenTheGovernment.org, POGO, Public Citizen, Sciencecorps, the Sunlight Foundation, Taxpayers for Common Sense Action, US Action, and U.S. PIRG.

Sort of correlates to a Senator running for the office of President who was friends with folks who presided over a scandal that cost the American citizens up to 1.4trillion dollars....

WASHINGTON, DC -- The Senate recently passed a provision authored by Senators Barack Obama (D-IL) and Chuck Hagel (R-NE) to help keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of terrorists. The legislation was included as an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2008 State-Foreign Operations appropriations bill.
The Obama-Hagel amendment requires the President to submit to Congress a comprehensive plan for ensuring that all nuclear weapons and weapons-usable material at vulnerable sites around the world are secure by 2012 from the threats that terrorists have shown they can pose.
“Securing nuclear weapons and weapons-usable material at their source is the most direct and reliable way to prevent nuclear terrorism,” said Senator Obama. “It is imperative that we build and sustain a truly global effort under an aggressive timeline to secure, consolidate, and reduce stockpiles of nuclear weapons and weapons-usable material to keep them out of the wrong hands.”
Despite significant progress by the U.S. to improve the security of nuclear stockpiles in some parts of the world, there are still significant quantities of weapons-usable nuclear material that remain vulnerable to theft or diversion. For example, there are an estimated 60 tons of highly enriched uranium – enough to make over 1,000 nuclear bombs – that are spread out at non-military facilities in over 40 countries around the world.

NIce...but these are no accomplishments to become the next president....!
CNN has Obama up by one. Gallup is the only one predicting McCain ahead.
Gallup, Rasmussen, Zogby, USAToday/Gallup (different than the daily tracking poll) ALL have McCain in the lead. USAToday has him 54-44 among LV.
