Obama's Legislative Accomplishments

From AIM via Family Security Matters:
Obama is the sponsor of a massive foreign aid spending bill that attempts to siphon off hundreds of billions of dollars from the U.S. Treasury to the rest of the world, in order to meet U.N. demands.

If the public grasped the nature of the bill and the fact that Obama was the sponsor in the Senate, they might come to some understanding of the nature of Obama's political ideology and why Frank Marshall Davis mattered so much to him.


The $845 Billion Bill

It's true that Obama has inflated or "polished" his résumé. But what about his notorious Global Poverty Act? Why doesn't Obama mention that? And why wasn't this glaring omission mentioned by Kurtz and the Annenberg Fact Check group?
On February 13, Obama issued a press release hailing the passage of this bill by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Since it has already passed the House, it awaits a full Senate vote.

So why wouldn't Obama highlight this bill in his patriotic TV ad?
The answer lies in the extreme pro-U.N. nature of the bill. The bill (S. 2433) requires the president to develop a strategy using "international organizations" to implement the Millennium Development Goal of the United Nations to reduce poverty. It still includes an official reference to the "Millennium Development Goals" established by the United Nations Millennium Declaration of the U.N. General Assembly Resolution in 2000.
