Yes, he has said he did enjoy it, although at times, he found it frustrating. He came to the US senate hopeful of being able to bring both sides together on issues (which was his reputation in the Illinois state senate). But the Republicans still controlled congress in 2004, and there was often congressional gridlock, and a lack of bipartisanship. Senator Obama had committed himself to a career in politics by that time, and was determined to work with Republicans. Sometimes, he was able to do so, and forged some strong friendships, especially with Senator Chuck Hagel. But at other times, he was unable to make any progress. That said, he has told reporters that he did find being a US senator an amazing opportunity.
