Like I said, get your head out of the rear end of the right-wing nut cases.
Obama has been in the Senate for three years, two of which were spent with a
Republican majority that would not even let legislation sponsored by
Democrats reach the floor for a vote and, on the few occasions where Bill
Frist granted such a luxury, Republicans shot down most Democratic
initiatives with extreme prejudice.

In the current (110th) Congress, the Republican minority has blocked
everything but the Senate chaplain's morning prayer and is on pace by a wide
margin to filibuster more legislation than any Senate in U.S. history.

Lugar-Obama legislation that has helped decrease the threat of old nuclear,
biological, and chemical weapon in the former Soviet Union

Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 which Obama
co-authored and that led to USAspending.gov, which keeps Americans better
informed on government spending.
Obama has also been very active in legislation to end the Iraq war and the
much-heralded Dignified Treatment of Wounded Warriors Act, which passed in
July of 2007 and addressed the hideous treatment received by Veterans under
the Bush administration, began its legislative life as the Dignity for
Wounded Warriors Act, introduced by Obama earlier in the year.
