This is a blog, so I don't know how accurate the facts are, but it's an interesting read nonetheless...

Here's an excerpt from the article:
Sogni states:
Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term (6yrs.), and
another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law, (20)
twenty pieces of legislation in her first six years.
These bills can be found on the website of the Library of Congress
(www.thomas.loc.gov), but to save you trouble, I'll post them here for
you.
CLINTON:
1. Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site.
2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.
3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall.
5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson.
6. Name post office after Jonn A. O'Shea.
7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition
Day.
9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial
of his death.
10. Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men's Lacrosse Team on
winning the championship.
OBAMA:
Now, I would post those of Obama's, but the list is too substantive,
so I'll mainly categorize. During the first (8) eight years of his
elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced
233 regarding healthcare reform,
125 on poverty and public assistance,
112 crime fighting bills,
97 economic bills,
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,
21 ethics reform bills,
15 gun control,
6 veterans affairs and many others.
His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and
co-sponsored another 427. These included:
**the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 (became law),
**The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons
Threat Reduction Act, (became law),
**The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate, **The
2007 Government Ethics Bill, (became law), **The Protection Against
Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, (In
committee), and many more.
In all since enter the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890
bills and co-sponsored another 1096.
