The information you posted is from DailyKos. Correction as to Obama’s US Senate was only 2 years. He said he was not qualified to run for president when he was elected to the senate but he did a sharp about face.
One of the bills Obama introduced was a Muslim Holiday for Illinois. It didn’t pass. Many of Obamas votes are for welfare programs or government control.
My understanding is Obama only had 3 pieces of legislation pass. Two were in the Illinois senate and one US Senate. Some others he voted for and then took credit for them during his campaign. I think Obama got aid to Africa on one of his bills.
Obama said he passed temporary assistance for low income families and he was one of five sponsors. On a cut taxes for working families in Illinois he was only a cosponsor but he took credit for that also during his campaign. Obama claims health care for wounded troops was his but he was not even a cosponsor on H.R.4986.
During Obama’s campaign one of Obama’s team was on CNN. He was asked just what Obama had done in the Illinois senate and US senate to show he was capable of leading. That everyone said Obama had not passed one bill. Obama’s man said thats not true, he passed campaign reform bill that will stop lobbyists.
We see how well that worked with Obama and his 12 lobbyists on his team right now. Or the millions Obama has raked in from lobbyists.
A writer can write a 100 books, the only ones that count are the ones published. Obama took credit when he voted or signed onto a bill. Obama basically signed onto someone else’s homework.
As far as I know Obama was paid really well for Illinois senate and then bowing out 2 years into his US senate seat for doing nothing.
