Just to set as much of the record straight as I can in the argument on experience and even on Obama's qualifications. On health care alone in the Illinois State senate Obama sponsored 233 billson health care, poverty and public assistance another 125 bills, 97 concerning crime, 62 on education, 60 on civil rights,35 on public infrastructure, 21 on government administration and even the.Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. ..I could go on but I think the numbers are sufficient for the argument that he has been busy and accomplishing things or working to accomplish things.Overseeing the Woods fund of Chicago as board member, Even if you just took what he has raised in funds for his campaign alone over 9 million from Wall Street( unheard of for a Democrat, some rather powerful people believe in him), and 112 million in total...I can hear the arguments now about money and where it comes from but, impressive abilities none the less, and on the subject of money only 1/3 of that comes from those giving over $1,000.00 and most donations coming in of $200.00 or less so, take from it what you will, that type of activity isn't easy and mostly grass roots which is much tougher. He has a record of doing things it isn't just a pipe dream or fantasy. So if you want to know here are just a few facts for you...dismiss them as you may but, facts none the less.
