Barack Obama Illinois Senate Record

barack obama illinois senate record

How many people are aware that Barack Obama has more legislative experience?

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like many are.

Barack Obama has 8 years (two terms) as an Illinois state legislator.
Then, 3 years in US Senate. He has a very bipartisan track record in both positions.

Hillary has 7 years US Senate.
Last time I checked, 11 > 7.

It’s first grade arithmetic.
TotalRecipeHound, what a spectacle of a straw-man argument! I could just as easily say Hillary would be more of a Jimmy Carter president. It is an easy, and baseless, claim to make.
You guys can believe any rumors about him that you want, but you cannot say he has less experience than Hillary.
Who cares about Hillary’s first lady so-called experience? She advised Bill to pass NAFTA, failed comprehensive health care, and failed diplomacy. Then, there were scandals like Whitewater, Monica Lewinsky, and Vince Foster. You want to go back to THAT?

People discount his State Senate tenure which is a mistake. He is the ONLY candidate who can understand how federal laws impact state legislation.
He has written and passed ethics reforms in IL State Senate
He got the most sweeping ethics reform bill to pass in the Senate since Watergate. It stagnated for over 18 months, she could not break the deadlock, he did
He wrote legislation that cut taxes by over $100 million in a three year period. He wrote and had pass welfare reform bills, death penalty reform bills.
He has more than she does
