Odds of a strong leader emerging?
Where was obummer in January 2007?
His HISTORY [I know you liberals hate history, but here it is]
Obama was reelected to the Illinois Senate in 1998, defeating Republican Yesse Yehudah in the general election, and was reelected again in 2002. In 2000, he
lost a Democratic primary run for the U.S. House of Representatives to four-term incumbent Bobby Rush
by a margin of two to one.
In July 2004, Obama wrote and delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, Massachusetts, and it was seen by 9.1 million viewers. His speech was well received and elevated his status within the Democratic Party.
Obama's expected opponent in the general election, Republican primary winner
Jack Ryan, withdrew from the race in June 2004. Six weeks later, Alan Keyes accepted the Illinois Republican Party's nomination to replace Ryan. In the November 2004 general election, Obama won with 70% of the vote.
Obama sponsored 71 bills in the US Senate.
These
2, TWO, II, Duo, Dos, passed and were signed by Bush.
No others were passed by the House and Senate:
Successes,
Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act of 2005
Mercury Market Minimization Act of 2007
What were the odds of anyone ever taking notice of this dude? ZERO.
