Question

Is Obama still being paid to be a senator when he hasn't shown up for work in quite a while?

Answer 1

Yes.

They should be required to vacate their seat when they run.

Answer 2

Yes, along with McCain.

Answer 3

Because their job is NOT TO DO THEIR JOB!

Considering that Obama votes "Present" on the ones he shows up for is quiet disgusting!

Answer 4

That's what so nice about being in the congress or senate who never get sanctioned for not being there and still get paid . An you can keep the job as long as the people do not catch on .

Answer 5

McCain hasn't either, both are paid. If it were serious they could both be there in moments.

Answer 6

Absolutly, they get paid whether they are there or not, they are employed by the tax payers who never run out of money to give them for telling lies and deceiving people and lining their pockets  with bribes and selling us out. What a great nation we live in, the great nation is gonna fall if something don't change, if people don't wake up and quit electing these fools to office!!!!!!

Answer 7

Are you serious?!  

John McCain is the most absent senator on the floor, he has missed 61.8% of the votes during this congress!

Answer 8

Yes he is.  If you were out looking for a new job would your current Boss be paying you?

They should both be fired.

Answer 9

We are better off that he isn't there.

Answer 10

Yes, but congress only works 120 days out of the year anyway.

Answer 11

Sadly yes. We still pay his $165,000 per years salary
