The OProblem


Remember this questioning (from Chris Matthews of all people) in an exchange
with Sen. Kirk Watson, Obama's former colleague in the Illinois legislature:


Matthews: Name some of Obama's legislative accomplishments. . .

Watson: Well, uh, you know, what I will talk about is what he's offering to
the American people.

Matthews: What has he accomplished, you've said you support him. Sir, you
have to give me his accomplishments, you support him for President, you're on
national television. Name his legislative accomplishments, Barack Obama,
sir.

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? Watson: I'm not going to be able to do that tonight.

Matthews: That's a problem isn't it?


Celebrities can win elections, but can they get anything done?
