You could have made a similar argument about another obscure Illinois legislator after his brief experience in the US Congress. He too was a man of very humble birth without a long list of Washington DC experience and "achievements."
His name was Abraham Lincoln. He is often cited by historians as one of the most effective Presidents ever to serve this country. He prevailed against enormous strains in preserving the Union.
But of course, by the achievement standard, Dick Cheney would be a MUCH better man than Lincoln.
Obama's supporters are not sheep simply because they can't rattle off a long list of DC pork he brought home. They just may be brighter than you give them credit for being. They may be taking the measure of the man above the measure of a resume.
That was before the Cook County Crooks took over Northern Illinois. The nurtured Obama & gave him their political seal of approval & you can not get out of that environment without scars. They have been good to many looney-left wingers who kneel at their alter, they have stolen more elections than they have fairly won!
