Barack Obama Background

This is a very important article from the blog 'Obsidian Wings' about Obama's first two years in the Senate. Upshot: Obama has been an active and bi-partisan co-sponsor of many pieces of important, but not flashy Kerrey/Kennedy-esque BIG ISSUE, legislation. Another plus in the Obama direction. The guy is starting to sound like a winner to me.
