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%).
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.

I'm not suggesting that you jump on anybody's bandwagon. My "example" was
meant to show that although Obama attended the FISC signing, his attendance
in general was nothing to brag about as Ken was implying. In the spirit
of complete disclosure, I posted the statistics for McCain and Clinton as
well.
