The truth of Obama's Legislative Record

I have spent much of the last week trying desperately to find bills that Obama has actually authored. That was a difficult task.

For those of you who might not know. CO sponsorship of a bill in the Congress means nothing.

Congressmen and Senators slap their names on hundreds of bills a year as co sponsor. It indicates no time or legislative effort.

So here's the real deal.

In his years in the Senate, according to the Congressional Quarterly and factcheck Obama has had 2. That's right TWO bills that he was the chief sponsor of passed and signed into law.

Here is the overwhelming list:

* S. 2125, A bill to promote relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
* S. 3757, A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 950 Missouri Avenue in East St. Louis, Illinois, as the "Katherine Dunham Post Office Building."

Now, before you swoon at the incredible accomplishments of the man who would be king, remember, he has spent most of his time in the Senate running for President so clearly he has not had time to actually do anything.
