Obama presidential watch: Statewide official calls for him to run in 2008

St. Barack, better known as Senator Obama from Illinois, is viewed as presidential material by a former election opponent of his, Dan Hynes, the state comptroller of Illinois.

From AP:

Hynes on Thursday called Obama the "man for these times" and said he hopes to spark a national movement to encourage the freshman senator to announce his candidacy.

Hynes lost the Senate primary to Obama in 2004. Since then, he says he's become convinced that Obama has the qualities needed to unify the Democratic Party.

Now, has Obama gotten a bill passed into law since he's become a senator?
