He hasn't at this point.  He was elected to the Senate only a few years ago, so there really hasn't been any chances to do much yet.  He is a good public speaker, and ran a positive campaign, so a lot of people like him for it, which I respect.\nHowever, a lot of people point to his being the first black Senator from Illinois.  What they don't mention is that both candidates (Republican and Democrat) were black, so no matter what, it was going to happen.\nSecond, he ran a campaign talking about how the government needs to stop being partisan and work together.  But if you do a search on any major news site, you'll see he has managed to annoy a lot of Republicans with partisan comments, including following Martin Luther King Day.  More recently (as in a day ago), he upset Senator McCain, over lobbying reform, by taking a very hardline Democratic approach.\n\nSo, ask that question again when he is up for re-election is 2010, then you can tell how he handled his first term as US Senator.

Helping you out with your homework huh?  Well I will not make it 4 or five sentences long but will give you something to think about.  \nThe impact it has on the American history is it started the rebellion against taxation and the mother country.  The second thing is that Americans decided to govern themselves and form a new government.  It also lead to no one ruler will govern America, judicial system, legislative branch and the executive branch.  It lead to a revolt and to the rights of our civil liberties.

Controlled socio-engineering?  Probably.  As for how it will impact truly progressive policies... probably very little.  However, it may slow the nation's path down the drain a bit.

if you are a true born again christian that in itself should have very little affect on society.however Christ will have a great deal of affect on the hearts of individuals thru your actions and examples and that in effect will have a positive[as in good] affect on society.let Him try it,you'll like it![see?he does it all,the only thing you really do is say"yes" and really mean it.]remember what bob dylan sang,"you're gonna serve Somebody",the choice is up to you.

The effect the ways that people live, because they impact on how resources are allocated.  Some ideologies place most of the resources in the hands of a few feeling that they can make "better decisions" than the masses.  Others, try to re-distribute wealth/resources to enable more people to move-up "socially".

Alexander Graham Bell.\nHe introduced us to advanced communications. telecommunication, communication in general (via phone, computer, or video) is probably the biggest and most influential invention of all time.  It dictates our whole world in every aspect of our lives.   Where would we be without cell phones or email and all that encompasses those!

I think the biggest issue is poverty.  It also affects everyone everyday.  A lot of the healthcare problems are because of it.  People who are not poor are paying for the people who are.

I would have to go with FDR.  Apparently many people of his time agreed with me, because he is the only President to have been elected four times. He served just over 12 years.  He brought the country out of depression, creating many jobs, such as the TVA and the CCC (Tennessee Valley Authority and Civilian Conservation Corps.) He was a rich man who was truly for the poor people. I think he is just about the greatest President we have ever had, with the possible exception of the first George.\n\nOutside of Presidents, I would have to say Martin Luther King.  He was such a great man.  He worked so hard to establish civil rights and to work out good relations between the races.  I think the worst thing that ever happened to race relations in this country was his assassination.
