Other than being elected to the US Senate, what exactly has Obama done? Well, Barack Obama has missed
277 votes (44.3%) during the current Congress! Cannot be blamed for anything if you do not participate.
All flash, but no core values. (Excuse me, his values are exactly what the Democratic majority thinks ...
if and when he does vote on any bill.)
While he was a state senator (1996 to 2004), Barack Obama was faced with a difficult vote in the Illinois legislature in 1999 — to support a bill that would let some juveniles be tried as adults, a position that risked drawing fire from African-Americans, or to oppose it, possibly undermining his image as a tough-on-crime moderate.
In the end, Mr. Obama chose neither to vote for nor against the bill. He voted “present,” effectively sidestepping the issue, an option he invoked nearly
130 times as a state senator.
Gee, when and if he is elected President (OMG No), when faced with a difficult decision, will he stick his head in the sand, or will he try to hide in a closet?
