1) The lie that Obama has done nothing
2) The lie that Obama doesn't reach across the aisle
1. Obama works his ass off for us
1399 is the number of laws Obama sponsored, co-sponsored, and authored as a US Senator alone. Memorize it. Pass it on. McCain and Palin are going across the country spreading the notion, the lie, that Barack Obama has done nothing in his three years as a US Senator.
We need to call Obama's critics on their bullshit.
Remember These Numbers
He sponsored 820 laws
He Co-Sponsored 427 laws
He Authored 152 laws
And remember, before he was a US Senator, he was a State Senator of Illinois for six years. He has 11 years experience as a statesperson.

When Obama's detractors yell the lie "Zero" in regards to Obama's legislative recored, hammer them with those numbers.
Remember...Obama has Sponsored, Co-sponsored and WROTE 1399 laws in just 3 short years. That man works his ass off for us. He deserves respect from his opposition, and He Will Be our president.

The Republican Tom Coburn of Oklahoma said this of Obama:
"He has admirable qualities. He does reach out. And he has a good staff, and we've worked together on a couple of things, and it's been a pleasure to work with him."
Republican Gordon Smith of Oregon says this of Obama in his own re-election ad
""Who says Gordon Smith helped lead the fight for better gas mileage and a cleaner environment?....Barack Obama. He joined with Gordon and broke through a 20-year deadlock to pass new laws, which increased gas mileage for automobiles. Gov. Ted Kologoski praised their bipartisan partnership."
Spread the word.
