Barack Obama's Accomplishments
If anyone else was watching MSNBC a few minutes ago, you would have seen that Chris Matthews ripped into a supporter of Barack Obama for not being able to answer a very simple question; he was looking for a list of accomplishments that Obama made while in Congress. I was so disappointed that he could not do so!
So here you go:
- Time in the Senate: 1,141 days
- Total bills sponsored: 129
- Total bills past committee: 9
- Total bills enacted: 1
- Total bills cosponsored: 545
- Example bills:
- Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006
- The 2007 Government Ethics Bill
- The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act
There’s more on Obama’s Wikipedia page.
Anyone who gets on national television needs to read up before getting grilled by Matthews because he definitely plays hardball. The only part of it that I was pissed off about was that the Clinton supporter didn’t get asked the same question and instead of being the better person and answering it anyway, she also ripped into the Obama guy.
