Senator Dick Durbin Says the President Has Put America Back on Course.



Senator Dick Durbin is going to bat for President Obama, once again.  He says despite what Republicans are saying, President Obama has put America back on course after the economic downturn. 

Durbin spoke just before President Obama at the Democratic National Convention last night.  He says the President's commitment to justice is still worth fighting for.  Durbin touted accomplishments on saving the auto industry, passing healthcare reform, ending "don't ask, don't tell" for homosexual service members, and making the DREAM Act a reality.
