Obama as a Do Nothing?
Steve Clemons compares what Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have done in the senate, and the difference is striking. While neither of them chair a full committee, pretty much every senator gets a subcommittee.
Clinton has the Subcommittee on Superfund and Environmental Health, and Obama has the Foreign Relations' Subcommittee on Europe.
The Subcommittee on Superfund and Environmental Health last held a hearing on October 17, the Foreign Relations' Subcommittee on Europe has had no meetings.
None...Zip...Nada...
Let's be clear, it is a chair of committees that senators get executive experience. What's more, it where a senator who wants to be president learns how to deal with Congress.
Clemens excuses saying that he's, "not trying to find a minor, nuanced difference between Obama and Clinton and inflate that to inappropriate levels." I agree. This is not minor.
