O.K. I'll take it easy on you--What did he do during his "community organizing job?"
Heck, even when Obama was in the State Legislature, he couldn't even vote Yes or No on a bill, he "stated" Present--(meaning I'm here, like in elementary school), he.he.he.
Obama, your educated HARVARD LAWYER couldn't make a decision, if his life depended on it, he. he. he.

Well, here are a few examples of some pretty decent work for a junior Senator.

Obama, Lugar Secure Funding for Implementation of Nonproliferation Law
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Barack Obama (D-IL) and Richard Lugar (R-IN) today announced that the Senate Appropriations Committee accepted their request to provide funding to implement the Lugar-Obama nonproliferation initiative. The Appropriations Committee expressed support for the initiative and provided $48 million for Lugar-Obama, $36 million for programs to destroy heavy conventional weapons, $10 million for efforts to intercept weapons and materials of mass destruction, and $2 million for rapid response to proliferation detection and interdiction emergencies. This is the culmination of an 18 month effort to authorize and fund the Lugar-Obama initiative.
First introduced in November 2005 and enacted in 2007, the Lugar-Obama initiative enhances U.S. efforts to destroy conventional weapons stockpiles and to detect and interdict weapons and materials of mass destruction throughout the world. ....

Obama leads bipartisan effort to raise fuel-economy standards
.... Together with seven other senators -- Joe Biden (D-Del.), Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), Norm Coleman (R-Minn.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), Dick Lugar (R-Ind.), and Gordon Smith (R-Ore.) -- Obama introduced legislation last week that would raise fuel-economy standards for cars and light trucks sold in the U.S. by 4 percent, or about one mile per gallon, each year. Its sponsors say the bill would reduce America's oil consumption by 1.3 million barrels daily within a decade; that amounts to 16 percent of the current consumption of America's passenger-vehicle fleet of 8 million barrels per day. ....

So this continued myth that Obama hasn't done anything is really getting old, and frankly doesn't hold water. As you can see Obama has been working across the isle to bring us the change he's campaigning for.
I know, it's hard for you to accept, but that's OK, you have Sarah Palin to tuck you in at night, and McCain's "change" you can believe in.
