In the 109th and 110th Congresses Barack Obama was the lead sponsor on 116 bills. Of that pathetically small effort, only one–one!–was passed and signed into law. That huge legislative achievement? S. 2125, a bill to “promote relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo” became law in December 2006. (S. 2125, Became Law 12/22/06). For those of you keeping score at home thats a 1.6% rate of passage from the junior Senator from Illinois.
