Where Have You Been?

suggests the following response to Barack Obama's question of
McCain: where have you been for 26 years:

Here’s where I have been. I changed campaign-finance law. I changed
telecommunications law. I took on the tobacco companies when other Republicans
wouldn’t. I took on the cable companies when they wouldn’t let people choose
what channels they might want to watch. I saw a standoff in the Senate on
confirming judges and I changed a standoff into a bipartisan agreement. I took
on the earmarks and the Bridge to Nowhere and the breaks for oil companies you,
Obama, voted for in 2005. And I helped change the war in Iraq from a defeat into
what appears to be a victory. Where have you been for 26 years?
