Obama claims "John McCain has voted with George Bush ninety percent of the time." ?

Question

Bush is not a member of Congress and casts no votes there--so how can you compare his voting record to that of McCain?

Answer 1

The president has come out and supported various bills that were voted on

voting on his side is what they are talking about

Answer 2

actually it was 95% of the time...

voting was his term for agreement... do your research.

Answer 3

Voting on Bush proposals.He does actually make proposals. Scary

Answer 4

obama is a LIAR, what did you expect, why are you surprised?>?

only the obamabots fall for his line of BS

Answer 5

If I manipulate the data enough, I can make the same case against Obama.  I'm too lazy, though.

He means that McCain voted in a manner than Obama thinks Bush would have wanted him to.

Answer 6

Because as a republican he is supportive of the republican agenda and passing legislature that is conservative. According to the liberals, this is bad. But if there is a democratic president, wouldn't the democratic senators and reps vote with him 90% of the time as well? Give it a break.  

Answer 7

Mc Cain is one who will bow to any one or any thing to get what he wants Did you see on TV where Old man Bush put his arm around McCain and chose him as a runner up for his sons job?? He knows McCain will follow orders from the Bushes.If you do a check up you will find niether McCain or Obama can be Presidents under the Constitution. Niether one are native born citizens of America. Nor can thet leagally be in the goverment offices. but seeing the education system in America makes sure you arent to smart they got away with all kinds of illeagal things. And for your question what they mean is he is on the bush payroll and will vote for what ever the Bushes tell him to  

Answer 8

No he isn't.  Presidents do however express an opinion on pending legislation.  Occasionally they even recruit members of congress to sponsor legislation.

Answer 9

Technically, you are correct, but even I will give Senator Obama a pass on this incorrectly worded statement.  If he has said something to the effect of voting for the proposals of President Bush 90% of the time, that would have been better grammar.

What Senator Obama omits is that on several of those disagreements, Senator McCain was correct and President Bush wasn't.

Answer 10

Are you aware Obama voted with his party 97% of the time? I thought not.

Answer 11

What Obama, or the handler who writes the c**p that Obama reads robotically off the teleprompter, leaves out is that Obama votes with McCain 90% of the time.  Most votes in the Senate are routine, non-partisan matters that get a unanimous vote.

Answer 12

It's true....just 95%: http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/is...
