Obama:
Visiting law and government fellow in constitutional law at U of Chicago.
Associate attorney with Davis, Miner, Barnhill, and Galland
Illinois Senate 1996-2004
US Senate 2004-present (foreign relations committee, health labor and pensions, homeland security, and VA)
and the thing is, Palin actually took on vested corrupt interests. The ways these things go, you risk your life when you do that.

What did Obama do?

I can't think of a single courageous thing Obama did. Didn't he say that his vote in the Illinois legislature on the Iraq war was his most courageous moment?

Btw, I don't consider being in the Texas Senate to be anything meaningful as far as becoming presient.
