Marco Rubio has some great TelePrompTer jokes (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters)
Why Marco Rubio is a great United States senator,
according to Marco Rubio:
"I think I've been able to have some influence on it for someone who just got here," he said. "I ran on a very clear platform and that was I believe this president isn't taking us in the right direction."
So, basically, Marco Rubio's big accomplishment is ... saying that President Obama sucks. And as his political team is eager to document, conservatives love him for it:
Following a rousing Rubio speech loaded with anti-President Barack Obama lines at the Conservative Political Action Conference last month, Rubio adviser Todd Harris escorted a video crew through the crowd to tape activists gushing over Rubio.
And now you can see what his real big accomplishment has been: setting himself up to be Mitt Romney's vice presidential pick. After all, the only thing Mitt Romney's vice presidential candidate is going to be asked to do is attack President Obama. And that's exactly what Rubio is best at doing.
