Appropos of the Clinton camp’s attempts to paint Obama as a “talker” and not a “doer” — check out this interesting New York Times chart from July 2007 showing the bills sponsored by Barack Obama in the Illinois Senate. Thought I’d share it. It shows that Obama sponsored more than 800 bills which included:

• 233 Health Care
• 125 Poverty and Public Assistance
• 112 Crime
• 97 Economy, Business and Finance
• 62 Education
• 60 Civil and Human Rights
• 35 Infrastructure and Public Works
• 21 Ethics
• 21 Administration
• 20 Environment
