Well I can see you are getting confused here.
Obama spent 143 days in the Federal Senate where he did introduce/sponsor/cosponsor some pretty handy bills.

Secondly, when he voted "present" it was when he was on the State Senate not the Federal Senate. In Illinois State Senators are allowed to vote present when they wish to object to some part of the legislation. Senator Obama voted Present 130 times out of over 4,000 votes in just under six years, so he voted present only 3% of the time.
Since you don't seem to know the Legislative history of Senator Obama from your own state, your opinion lacks credibility.
