don't think this is necessarily worthy of a diary, but unlike the people who produced the rnc backdrop with the walter reed high school pic, i pride myself on being a pretty good at the google and couldn't find what i was looking for...
what i need is a obama cheat sheet.
a number of my co-workers are obama supporters, but they tell me that when they go discuss things with their unenlightened relatives and such, they don't always know how to respond to certain accusations. what is his tax policy? what is his stand on the environment? they've been asking me for a cheat sheet that has his stands on the issues so they can have more ammunition for the discussions. while it may be easier for people like me who find themselves spending hours on kos daily to study the issues, employees that actually do work may not have that option.
obviously, there are tons of fantastic diaries on kos with detailed information on why obama is the only choice and where he stands apart from the lying sack of isht opposition (clearly the right's strategy is to make up as much wild isht as possible and see what you they can dupe the public into believing. i mean it's fuckin bizarro world up in there).
this one is great: Obama vs. McCain --- A Detailed Contrast
extremely detailed and informative and a great read.
however, i'm looking for more of a pocket guide. something i can keep with me, on the dash, next to the computer screen, or give to coworkers who might be less inclined to read anything lenghty. quick hitters. also, something that compares where obama stands vs. the opposition would be handy. what's his stand on offshore drilling, what's his stand on education?
maybe its something similar to the previously mentioned diary that we could continue adding on to. even better, maybe kos could put a link somewhere on the front page, readily accessible rather than having to sift around the site - which while fun, severely affects my work productivity.
what have you guys found helpful?
thanks and thanks for kos
