Clinton and her surrogates often repeat like a mantra that she is experienced and Ready on Day One! Below is a comparison of the senate accomplishments of both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama so that you can decide for yourselves, who really has the beef!
*******************
"Check out Amadeo Sogni's article A Light in the Darkness where he actually does research in comparing legislative records of both Clinton and Obama. It was very illuminating and I would like someone to try to debunk it.
Sogni states:
Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term (6yrs.), and another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law, (20) twenty pieces of legislation in her first six years.
These bills can be found on the website of the Library of Congress (www.thomas.loc.gov), but to save you trouble, I'll post them here for you.
