He was very busy as soon as he walked through the doors. First, He teamed with Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., to study the dangers of nuclear proliferation and pass legislation meant to keep nuclear material from falling into the hands of terrorists.


Obama also joined with Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., after Hurricane Katrina to improve oversight of federal spending.


He shared billing when he joined Arizona Sen. John McCain in sponsoring legislation that called for sharp, mandatory cuts in greenhouse gas emmissions... something he is still involved in.

He is also committed to making certain veterans get their full benefits as well as returning military personnel fro war zones

Answer 10

OBAMA IS A SPONSOR, CO-SPONSOR, OR AUTHOR OF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE ACTS. HE FOUGHT HARD AND LED THE WAY TO MAKE EACH OF THESE ACTS GET PASSED. In order to find this info, you have to go to Obama's SENATE page, NOT his campaign page. This is what he did in 3 years in the U.S. senate
