During the Clinton years, you probably said that about the Commander in
Chief, and Boy, were you wrong.

Obama was on the floor of the Senate during the FISA vote, Hillary wasn't.

OK, he showed when the cameras were on. According to the Washingtom Post,
he missed 38.8% of votes during the current Congress, a pretty dismal record.

In fact, he was third in the Senate (McCain was second missing 55.7% and
Hillary
was seventh at 27.1%).

His list of legislative accomplishments in the Illinois Senate is long and
distinguished and includes ethics reform, tax credits for low-income
workers, welfare reform, child care subsidies and legislation
requiring that all interrogations during a homicide investigation be
videotaped among many others.

I'm underwhelmed

In the US Senate he won passage of the Coburn-Obama Transparency Act
over the objections of many senior pork addicted members of his own
party wich led to this http://usaspending.gov/ a website where
any journalist or citizen can see for themselves where the federal
money goes. It is historic.

OK, he shows us the waste, but what would be "historic" is actually doing
something
about it. He garnered quite a record for earmark spending for a junior senator,

something like $400 miliion in 3 years (less than Hillary, but more than
McCain's $0).

He co-sponsored legislation with Feingold and Schumer to clean up
election laws and with John McCain on a climate change bill to reduce
greenhouse gasses.

Actually the reduction is in man-made CO2 emissions which are a very small
amount
of the total "greenhouse gasses" and which have has an insignificant effect
on climate.

As an aside, I notice how now it is "cimate change" as opposed to "global
warming". This
way it can encompass any change in the climate which, of course, is continually
changing.
Great strategy to confuse the masses and support the ultimate agenda.

You are such a cheerless person. Do you get up that way, or is your
life so miserable that it continues to come on the more you are awake.



I have more fun in any one day of my life than you have in a whole year.

Congress passed just about everything the Dems are complaining about.

Yes, Dave, I've already said I think the Dems should dig their heels in and
do what's right, and I'm disappointed in them for not doing so. I've
written my members of Congress to tell them this. I feel free to express
my disappointment when my elected leaders let me down.

I do too. Only trouble is my leaders are Kerry and Kennedy - a
traitor and a womanizer/killer.



There are any number of sound/video bites out there about everyone
from both Clintons, Pelosi, former Sec of States, et al who said there
were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Congressed passed the ok to
go to war, and have financed it since then.


Yes, and the source of information for all those Dems is the White House.
Shame on them for assuming that the President was a man of honor, and not
the scumbag and recovering alcoholic that he is.

Uhhhhhh, the ones I am talking about all happened during the 1990s,
*not* during Bush's time in office.

Recovering alcoholic? You be reaching now, young fellow. And *if* he
is a "recovering" alcoholic, that is a *good* thing, not bad.

Ever since I said that about my commanding officer way back in 1958
while in Japan, I have never uttered those words again.

I feel safer and am better off now than I did/was in 1990. You can
not take that away from me.

What you fail to mention is that of the Top 7 Senators who missed voting:
the top candidate is out due to a brain hemorrage, making McCain the leader
of the field of five campaigning for POTUS, and then there's the staunch
conservative Sam Brownback just ahead of Clinton.

Your example kinda falls apart, if you are suggesting that we should all
jump on either the McCain or Clinton bandwagon.

Hey there are two dead Republicans on the House side that missed 90.8% and
85.9% of the votes, respectively.

How effective can they be as future leaders, I wonder?
