129 "Present" Votes
For the sake of argument, let's say that his "present" vote on the abortion bill was a strategic decision.
If the ONLY voted "Present" 3 or 4 times, then Obama's argument might fly.
But he voted "Present" 129 times. Nope his explanations and alibis don't work.
There is something else also missing and that ls evidence of a single controvestial issue where he stood up to the special interests and fought the good fight.
For Obama to run as the agent of change, He should be able to show an extended track record of fighting the special interests and standing up to them. Unfortunately, there is more of a history of him caving in to the special interests, just as he did with the bill about reporting nuclear accidents.
So far as I have been able to determine, Obama has a zero track record in this area.
He is the spineless, gutless wonder.
Obama is all talk and no substance. As a result, he still comes through as Republican-lite, which is NOT what this country needs.
