I had no idea Obama wanted a federal ban on carry laws:

Obama disagreed. He backed federal legislation that would ban citizens from carrying weapons, except for law enforcement.

I'll be sure to publicize that.

I see you apparently agree that Obama's work to ban non-videotaped murder confessions is his greatest accomplishment. Thats great. So if a murder suspect screws up and admits involvement or any information to police that would tend to convict him, it shouldn't count unless there's a camera running. Thats great, we should make sure Obama gets appropriate recognitition for that.

I'm surprised you didn't list his bill to extend health insurance to more kids in families that aren't poor first:

In 2003, Obama sponsored a bill that expanded eligibility for KidCare and FamilyCare by amending "the Children's Health Insurance Program Act to provide that a child with a household income of 200%, rather than 185%, of the federal poverty level is eligible to participate in the Program."

Between 2003 and 2006, enrollment in the program did go up by 150K+ (about 50K youths and 100K adults) but no one knows if thats because the upper income limit was raised. Does that narrow segment of the income spectrum (185 - 200% of the poverty level) have that many people in it? It may hb due to simply more folks signing up or other factors.
