Former Austin mayor and current Texas State Sen. Kirk Watson, a prominent Barack Obama supporter, is completely stumped when MSNBC’s Chris Matthews asks him to list Sen. Obama’s legislative accomplishments.
Classic! Here is Chris Matthews, the same man who gets all jiggly in his pants when he thinks of Obama, asking the State Senator of Texas, Kirk Watson, what some of Obama’s accomplishments are:
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews: “You are a big Barack supporter, right, Senator?”
State Sen. Watson: “I am. Yes, I am.”
Matthews: “Well, name some of his legislative accomplishments. No, Senator, I want you to name some of Barack Obama’s legislative accomplishments tonight if you can.”
State Sen. Watson: “Well, you know, what I will talk about is more about what he is offering the American people right now.”
Matthews: “No. No. What has he accomplished, sir? You say you support him. Sir, you have to give me his accomplishments. You’ve supported him for president. You are on national television. Name his legislative accomplishments, Barack Obama, sir.”
State Sen. Watson: “Well, I’m not going to be able to name you specific items of legislative accomplishments.”
Matthews: “Can you name any? Can you name anything he’s accomplished as a Congressman?”
State Sen. Watson: “No, I’m not going to be able to do that tonight.”
Matthews: “Well, that is a problem isn’t it?”
And the video:
Like I said, Classic!
It’s becoming pretty apparent that Obama will be the guy we are going against in this election and as each story unfolds on this guy my angst at running against a man who is offering that soft and gooey center of hope is slowly fading away. Don’t get me wrong, that message sounds great, but at some point the spell will be broken and people are going to question the what, when, how, why, and where of all this change. Specifics and all that.
Thats when the ultra-Socialist Obama will be highlighted and thats when the turn-off will begin.
He has two years in a Senate office. Two years! (don’t even try to count that 3rd year) So how exactly would he be able to push through anything he wants to “change.”
Give me a break.
Meanwhile McCain has many years of going against the grain, of taking on anybody and anyone who disagrees with his bills and policies. He has shown success at getting even unpopular bills pushed through. He has walked across party lines and done it. Been there and done that.
I wasn’t always happy with what he pushed through but it’s a great argument against Obama and one I know McCain is itching to use.
