Product Description
We are all familiar with the phenomenon known as Barack Obama. However, many of us don't know what he has worked for while in the Senate-what sort of legislation has he, himself, sponsored or co-sponsored. This book provides an invaluable glimpse of what the Senator feels passionately about, listing and detailing all of the Senate Bills and Resolutions that Senator Barack Obama sponsored or co-sponsored during 2007, the first term of the 110th Congress.*****It also lists all the co-sponsors of these bills so you can see who he has worked with-which Democratic and Republican Senators he has reached out to for these legislative initiatives.*****Because of the complexity of some of the Bills and Resolutions, each of the pieces (with the exception of two) are accompanied by highlighted, official summaries of the legislation that clearly, in simple language, outlines the intent and impact of that Bill or Resolution.*****The legislation covered here encompasses a wide variety of subjects, including Iran and Iraq, US energy policy and health care.*****Take a look for yourself at what Senator Obama has done during the 110th Congress of the United States during 2007.

Barack Obama: What He Believes In - From His Own Works April 5, 2008

Barack Obama's works in the Senate in 2007 are admirable. They show a picture of a person who has diverse concerns especially in the fields of education, veterans' rights, healthcare, global warming, and poverty here and abroad. I like the way he is able to work with people of both parties, demonstrating that there are many problems concerning us all. . . that it isn't all "hate and hurt" between us. . . or shouldn't be. br / br /My only problem is, and maybe I'm wrong, that there is no explanation - or pointing out specifics. There is nothing to help us know whether a cosponsor is a Democrat or a Republican or an Independent. I know I am familiar with some but certainly not all the other Senators. You can look them up if you have time; otherwise you are left to guess or decide that it doesn't matter. br / br /The best thing about this book is that it removes all the rumors claiming that Senator Obama has done nothing in the Senate since he was elected: This is simply not true. He has worked hard. One can see that he does not take his responsibilities lightly. br / br /Marianna Settles br /Escondido CA
