There was an excellent article in the Houston Press today about Barack Obama's time in the Illinois State Senate.
Barack Obama and Me by Todd Spivak
The article makes a strong case that all of his state senate "accomplishments"--those that he and his supporters list as proof of his readiness for the presidency--were really handed to him by a powerful black politician. What's worse, Obama often took credit for the hard work of other black politicians who actually did the work but got none of the credit.
My, my... these aren't very hopeful or changeful tactics from this "new" type of politician. It's a wonderful article, but I will never understand why it wasn't published sooner.
