Only five of Clinton's 20 bills have any meaningful substance, which means 75% were pretty inane. 16- Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11. There you have it, the Hillary legislative facts straight from the Senate records. The following is a list of Barack Obama's legislative accomplishments, but the list is so substantive they are categorized, rather than listed individually. Besides, there's simply too many of them.
17- Pay for city projects in response to 9/11
18- Assist landmine victims in other countries.
19- Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.
20- Designate part of the National Forest System in
Puerto Rico as protected in the wilderness preservation system.
During his first eight years in the Illinois legislature, Obama sponsored more than 820 bills.
* 233 regarding healthcare reform
* 125 on poverty and public assistance
* 112 crime fighting bills
* 97 economic bills
* 60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills
* 21 ethics reform bills
* 15 gun control
* 6 veterans affairs and many others
* Many more miscellaneous bills
His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills, and co-sponsored another 427.
These include:
* Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 - enacted.
* Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act - enacted.
* Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate.
* 2007 Government Ethics Bill, enacted.
* Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, in committee.
In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1,096.
An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no record according to some who would prefer that this comparison not be made public.
Now it's up to you to decide who's the doer and who's the talker.
