Richard Cohen might be jubilant that Mr. Obama wasn't around to cast a vote on the resumption of hostilities in Iraq, but those of us in Illinois who bother to look at his voting record in the State Assembly already know all that is necessary: he's a hard-left, big-government socialist, who is only about half-a-notch short of being a Marxist. (Think: "Hillary -- but more photogenic.")

p>One correction: Rush Limbaugh does not call him "Osama Obama." Mr. Limbaugh plays a parody clip which pokes fun at the incoherent Ted Kennedy -- who did refer to his colleague by that sobriquet (Teddy has a special wristwatch, on which all the numerals are fives -- so that it's okay for him to observe "happy hour" at any time of the day!). br> -- David Gonzalez br> Wheeling, Illinois /p> p> Also there are some recent revelations about what measures Barack Obama supported and how he supported them while he was in the Illinois legislature that would make it a tough row to hoe for him to run for a national office. See the report at Polipundit , this might help him with the far left base but would not play well with the nation as a whole.
