[edit] Estate tax (United States)

[edit] Barack Obama

Per his Senate voting record, Obama has been ranked the 4th most partisan Democrat, voting with the majority of Democrats on 94.97% of the time and ranked 88th in partisan Republican voting, voting with the majority of Republicans 37.44% of the time.

I think you could be on the right track with this, though I may have a go at modifying the language slightly ("partisan" may be regarded as a negative term, I think?). Anyway, I think the content is both notable and informative, and hopefully the source reliable (it seems so). Congrats. --HailFire 10:02, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


Jbpo, stopped by to share this article with you. Not about Obama, but one I thought you'd find of interest.

I'd gathered from this post that you've viewed Obama's past legislative alliances with Republicans like Lugar, McCain, and Coburn with cynicism. Now that the tables of power have been turned, let's watch what happens over the next two months and then the next two years for fresh indicators.

Also, if you have not done so already, I encourage you to read some of Obama's new book, where he offers lots more background on how he regards the political process in general and U.S. conservatism in particular.

I've been taking a partial-wikibreak from the Barack Obama article of late, but anticipate doing some more editing, referencing, sorting, condensing, and adding now and then. If any edits that you would have liked to see left alone get impacted by this, please be free to immediately alert me on my talk page, and we might try to come to agreement there. There are no obligations to do so, of course, I'm just suggesting it as something to try because you have more then once helped me to reconsider the balance of my own editing. --HailFire 22:06, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits to Barack Obama

I have some concerns about your additions to the controversy section, which I've brought up at the talk page, and which I hope you can address. Regards, Gzkn 14:54, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
