If you look at all those "bills", it would SEEM that it was A: All thought up by Mr. Obama, or B: that they all had some kind of impact. Reality is that the overwhelming majority of ALL of those "bills" were #1 CO-SPONSORED (which means everything from Co-wrote to bandwagon jumping) by Obama and more importantly NOT passed into any meaningful laws. They either got stuck in committee or vetoed by Bush. He did get a bunch of resolutions and BS fluffer legislature passed either tagged along with other bills or as stand alone resolutions. Things so earth shattering as "National and Global Youth service day" and resolution to wish a fellow Senator "a speedy recovery from surgery"..... This is what the Barrack camp would proudly stand behind as part of an elustrive resume of legislative stances????? Kidding me, right?

So, yes, technically and historically Barrack Obama has CO-SPONSORED a ton of things and even got 2 things that HE sponsored passed and approved. But in reality, most of the things he's done in almost 10 yrs of politics add up to a lot of "puffing the goods" IMO.

BTW, you can always look everything up for yourselves in the Library of Congress. Here's the link:

Seriously, how come the CEO of a major company has to have all these qualifications to lead a company, yet everyone wants to gloss over the FACT that one of the contenders to lead this COUNTRY is a relative unknown. Is that always a bad thing? Maybe not. Maybe so.

My reservations about Obama stem from his views on National Security and his Socialist background. I don't like that. Not for someone that is supposed to be a representation of what I believe in and stand for. FOR ME, it's not a good fit.

This is really all I want.. challenge the man on his policy and get informed. My issue comes from manufactured situations used to scare people not to vote for him. If you don't want to vote for Barack.. let it be because he wants windfall profit taxes on Oil Corps, don't do it because you think Michelle Obama is not patriotic or he wont wear a lapel pin.

I take the same issue for those who support Obama only because he is black or because Hillary is a woman.
