Kirk Watson, the Gift that Keeps Giving

Within minutes of Austin state Sen. Kirk Watson’s cringe-inducing performance on MSNBC last night, Austin for Obama sent out the following e-mail to supporters:
Kirk Watson just appeared on MSNBC to back Barack Obama and bombed. He could not name ONE accomplishment Obama has made and the Hillary supporter ate it up. It was just dead air time and looked aweful.
So, if need be, print this out and take it with you all the time should anyone corner you with the same question:
Barack has held elected office for twelve years.
During the first eight years, sponsored over 820 bills, including 233 regarding healthcare reform, 125 on poverty and public assistance, 112 crime fighting bills, 97 economic bills, 60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills, 21 ethics reform bills, fifteen gun control bills, six bills regarding veterans’ affairs, and many others.
In his first year in the U.S. Senate, Barack authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These bills
included:
1. The Government Transparency Act (became law)
2. The Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act (became law)
3. The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (passed the Senate)
4. The Government Ethics Bill (became law)
5. The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill (now in committee), and many more.

Today, the Hillary Clinton campaign pounced with their own statement:
Hillary Clinton on the “The Choice”

The following is an excerpt from remarks delivered by Hillary Clinton this morning in New York, NY:
“This is becoming more apparent every day. My good friend Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones from Ohio represented me on one of the TV programs in the last day or two— some of you may have seen her. And she was on against someone representing my opponent and for the first time, actually, the host, asked the representative of my opponent to name one accomplishment.
“That is all we’re asking. We’re asking to compare our records. We’re asking to compare our years of service. We’re asking to compare our ideas, our solutions.
“Because it’s not just about my opponent and myself, this election is about you. It’s about what you can expect, what your dreams will be, what your futures hold. Right now too many people are struggling, working the day shift and the night shift, trying to get by without health insurance, just one paycheck away from actually losing their homes. They cannot afford four more years of a president who just doesn’t see or hear them. They need a president ready on Day One to be the Commander in Chief of the United States military.”
