What legislation has Obama been instrumental in getting passed?
What are his accomplishments as a community activist?
What are his accomplishments as a law professor?
I did find that he had been added (on the day it was passed) as a co-sponsor of an ethics bill in Illinois that gave legislators the right to convert campaign funds to personal use.
I did find that his time spent on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge resulted in a final report of not being effective.
American Power: Obama's Failed Leadership at Chicago Annenberg Challenge
I did find, that during his time in academia, where the mantra is publish or perish, he published nothing.
So what are we left with? A guy that got good grades in college, that wrote a couple of books about himself, and made a speech. If there is something more that he has accomplished, please inform me of what it is.

The juxposition of him going to college, while she was working in one of most dangerous jobs in the country (see Bureau of Labor Statistics) implied that it was a lesser experience. That is why I said seems, rather than does.
