I found two bills that Obama has sponsored that have become law:

S.2125 A bill to promote relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

S.3757 A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 950 Missouri Avenue in East St. Louis, Illinois, as the "Katherine Dunham Post Office Building".

Can anyone share an Obama sponsored bill that became law with a little more substance that helped the American people?

I would certainly hope that even the Obama supporters would be concerned by this!

Is it that nobody can share any successes or is it that like most other things about Obama it really doesn't matter what he has accomplished?

It took about two seconds to find this - for future reference google Obama resume

I'm just giving you what you asked for - the entire resume is there for you to see - although we've already plowed this field about a hundred times.

If you go to the NYT link or the http://thomas.loc.gov/bss/d109query.html and http://thomas.loc.gov/bss/d110query.html searches, you'll find that he's sponsored and cosponsored many times more bills than those stats list. They're ridiculously off.) http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/271/

So 2 sponsored bills passed. The two I noted in the OP. Ouch! How is this not a glaring concern to the American people?

Everyone in the Senate are on committees so that doesn't impress me and it really shouldn't impress anyone. It is how they get work done in the Senate.

Well...considering that he's been on the Presidential campaign trail for most of his Senate term...he hasn't really had much time to the job that he as elected to do...

Gee, and I thought committees were split like 51-49, for the most part, depending on controlling party! And the Dems have had control for 2 years.
