41. smoke and mirrors

"instrumental in helping to secure...
"inspirational in..."
"worked night and day to protect..."
"led the charge..." - I thought Lily Ledbetter was Obama's achievement?

"speech"
"role in killing..." - what was it?
"role in climate change..." - again, what was it. Few people see any progress at all in climate change - BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
"...fought to pass..." but didn't pass
"...worked in the Senate to strengthen..." Did it pass?

"...powerful advocate for women...
"... was one of the original cosponsors..." Did it pass?
"...a strong defender..."

lots of rhetoric under secy of state mantel but no achievements listed

Kudos for drug labeling act for children but I'll stick with Bernie's VICTORIES!
