I love how, in your world, the left is one mind, that is perfectly represented (and as a whole, no less) by one person posting on the internet.

Ken Salazar sponsored 118 bills, Harry Reid sponsored 255, Biden 150, Hillary 212, Robert Menendez 175, Feinstein 213...I can go on. There are plenty of dems who sponsored as much or more as Obama. Plenty. So he wasn't elected because of his legislative accomplishments. He was also mentioned by the dems as Prez material before he had served even a day in the US senate. So that list had nothing to do with his qualifications and everything to do with being a minority and being able to read a teleprompter nicely.

Which means that McCain sponsored 31.5 bills a year and Obama sponsored 34. A whopping 2.5 bills more per year.

If anything I'm more confused. We easily have a dozen dems who have sponsored more bills than Obama and he averaged 2.5 more than McCain annually. And that is "getting it done?" His numbers in no way stand out versus his peers.
