Here is an article that is being passed around digg.com currently which I thought might help enlighten some of you people who are able to recognize true patriotism and character right away:

Consider a bill into which _____ clearly put his heart and soul. The problem he wanted to address was that too many confessions, rather than being voluntary, were coerced -- by beating the daylights out of the accused.

______ proposed requiring that interrogations and confessions be videotaped.

He played a major role in passing many other bills, including the state's first earned-income tax credit to help the working poor and the first ethics and campaign finance law in 25 years (a law a Post story said made _____ "one of the best in the nation on campaign finance disclosure"). _____'s commitment to ethics continued in the U.S. Senate, where he co-authored the new lobbying reform law that, among its hard-to-sell provisions, requires lawmakers to disclose the names of lobbyists who "bundle" contributions for them.

Taken together, these accomplishments demonstrate that _____ has what Dillard, the Republican state senator, calls a "unique" ability "to deal with extremely complex issues, to reach across the aisle and to deal with diverse people." In other words, _____'s campaign claim that he can persuade us to rise above what divides us is not just rhetoric.

I've taken out his/her name so that you have to guess at to who it was that did this. Who's on your mind as to who would do such things?

Who's name did I take out, and why did you guess whom you did?

Hmmm...Senator Obama perhaps?

My reasoning: I know you are pro-Obama. And the title sorta gives it away, sarcasm is my specialty.
