Barack Obama in 1996 ...

[Khaotic]

It seems Hillary supporters want to know what Barack Obama was doing in 1996. They want to cover Hillary's bare faced lie with ... what was Barack doing?



Here ya go, Obama in 1996:

=================
Chicago Tribune, March 21, 1996
ILLINOIS SENATE

Following are the unofficial results of the Tuesday, March 19, 1996, Illinois primary. A (x) indicates an apparent winner. In some races a political party may not have fielded a candidate for a specific office and in some of the primary elections, results are only given in contested races.

<SNIP>

13th District
DEMOCRAT
Barack Obama (x)

==================
Chicago Tribune, October 16, 1996
ILLINOIS SENATE ENDORSEMENTS

The Tribune today begins its endorsements in contested races for the Illinois Senate.

<SNIP>

13th District (South Side): Democrat Barack Obama , an attorney, law professor and community activist, is a worthy successor to retiring Sen. Alice Palmer. Obama has potential as a political leader and is endorsed over Republican Rosette Peyton and the Harold Washington Party's David Whitehead.

==================

Soon after Barack Obama was elected.



So began the his elected career and experience.

TELL US: In 1996, how many elected offices had Hillary Clinton held? How about in 1997, 1998, 1999, or 2000????

You know the answer ... she had zero elected experience until being sworn into office as the Senator of New York in 2001, yet she says she has 35 years of experience making change.



She wants to count photo ops and turns them into stories of running from sniper fire, all to manufacture a record of "experience" that doesn't exist.

Her record of "experience" becomes a bare faced lie and is as cheap, pathetic, transparent as a bald man's combover.

8. Wait...running for office is bad now?

Should we all just marry elected officials so that we can have power without any of that messy voting stuff?

15. That political cartoon is awesome! Thanks for sharing. And besides, even if she did take sniper fire

... I'm not sure why that means she is better prepared to answer a telephone and make a serious decision. It's all so stupid.
