"Name One Legislative Accomplishment of Obama?" *Silence*

That's pretty much how it went when Chris Matthews asked an Obama supporter, Texas state senator Kirk Watson, to name one legislative accomplishment of Barack Obama:

MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "You are a big Barack supporter, right, Senator?"

State Sen. Watson: "I am. Yes, I am."

Matthews: "Well, name some of his legislative accomplishments. No, Senator, I want you to name some of Barack Obama's legislative accomplishments tonight if you can."

State Sen. Watson: "Well, you know, what I will talk about is more about what he is offering the American people right now."

Matthews: "No. No. What has he accomplished, sir? You say you support him. Sir, you have to give me his accomplishments. You've supported him for president. You are on national television. Name his legislative accomplishments, Barack Obama, sir."

State Sen. Watson: "Well, I'm not going to be able to name you specific items of legislative accomplishments."

Matthews: "Can you name any? Can you name anything he's accomplished as a Congressman?"

State Sen. Watson: "No, I'm not going to be able to do that tonight."

Matthews: "Well, that is a problem isn't it?"

Captain's Quarters has the video.

Michelle Malkin adds that just having legislative accomplishments isn't good enough, anyway:  "'Get things done' is mindless liberal code for passing legislation and expanding government."

True enough.  But Obama has achieved so little, even by the standards of the left, that the inability of his prominent supporters to name one practical thing he's accomplished underscores that his campaign is about 98% style and 2% substance.

The fact that Obama hasn't yet demonstrated what he would accomplish if he could -- or that he can accomplish anything -- is not reassuring.   Sometimes presidents do have to lead and propose leglislation, even if it's only legislation to undo failed policies of the nanny state. 

Of course, I'm not holding my breath that Obama or Clinton would do anything of the sort.  McCain isn't exactly looking like Ayn Rand either.
