Turns out Obama is even more an empty suit than I thought he was.
The following is a list of all the really important legislation that Obama has sponsored that has been approved:
1. To congratulate the Chicago White Sox on winning the 2005 World Series Championship.
2. Recognizing the historical significance of Juneteenth Independence Day and expressing the sense of the Senate that history should be regarded as a means for understanding the past and..
The list goes on, read it for the lulz. The next time someone tells you how effective he’s been as senator, you can politely refer this person to a list of his legislative “accomplishments”. Then if they talk about that bill he worked on with Dick Luger (R - Indiana), you should probably point out that it’s a not exactly a secret that Luger piggy-backed Obama on there so it could look more bipartisan. Obama didn’t actually do anything with that bill.

Actually, being from Illinois, I’m more than miffed at Obama for missing a lot of votes in the Senate - meaning that I’m not being mis-represented…
Barack Obama missed 301 (23%) of 1282 votes since Jan 6, 2005. The graph to the left shows the number of missed votes over time.
His biggest claims to fame were the proposed (failed) SCHIP expansions… He flipped and then flopped on the FISA bill too…

Let’s not forget that the Lugar bill was just a revamp of a previous bill from ‘91 that Lugar and Sam Nunn worked on.
