No There There

clipped from hotair.com As Baker notes, Obama has no track record of standing up to his party in Congress, either.  His only real record of reform comes from a bill creating a searchable budget website, co-authored with Tom Coburn, and so controversial that it met no opposition whatsoever. Obama asks the nation to take on faith that he will somehow become something completely different than the machine pol he has been throughout his brief political career.  Meanwhile, he also asks voters to take on faith that John McCain will somehow become a carbon copy of George Bush despite a decades-long history of fighting wasteful spending.  He wants Americans to believe that he has the superior judgment in time of war, and at the same time ask them to forget that John McCain got the surge right and he got it completely wrong. That seemed to work, at least for a while, but Americans have begun to realize that Obama not only has little political experience, he has none in reform or leadership.
