[Dems2008] Email Misrepresent Obama's Senate Record

There is an email circulating in Dems2008 group that
grossly misrepresents Sen. Obama's legislative record.

The difference is that this email comparing Obama's
sponsored legislation and then comparing it to
Hillary's passed legislation. In 109th session alone
she had 177 sponsored bills

The email only gives Hillary credit for bills where
she was the original sponsor and have also been signed
into law. Here are the facts. In her time in the
Senate, Hillary has sponsored 21 bills that have
become law

Meanwhile, the email gives Sen. Obama credit for every
bill he introduced or signed on as a co-sponsor,
whether or not they became law. The reality is, since
Sen. Obama joined the Senate (applying the same
standard the email applies to Hillary) he has
sponsored 2 bills that have become law:
1. a bill that sought to promote democracy in the
Democratic Republic of Congo.

2. a bill that named a post office.
