Why Do Democrats Continue to Forget About Obama's Past Voting Record?

Question

3/2/2006 - Vote 29: H R 3199

He voted YES to a reauthorized, slightly modified version of the 2001 USA Patriot Act.

6/22/2006 - Vote 181: S 2766

This amendment to the annual defense appropriations bill would have set a firm deadline for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. (He voted NO to this amendment, by the way.)

3/29/2007 - Vote 126: HR 1592

He voted YES to a $122 billion war funding bill.

4/26/2007 - Vote 147: HR 1591

He voted YES to a $124.2 billion Iraq and Afghanistan war bill.

Once elected to the Senate, Obama voted for a series of war funding measures.

This last one is for fun to show that Obama really is a true patriot. He voted NO to the following bill:

6/27/2006 - Vote 189: S J RES 12

This vote would have given Senate approval to a proposed constitutional amendment that would give Congress the authority to ban 'desecration of the American flag.'

Answer 1

Look at all these... Patriot Act, Afghanistan War (you HAVE to support the troops once deployed)...Why do Republicans act as if there "leaders"  are not responsible for the condition the country is in now? Period. No more chances GOP...

Answer 2

As   Paul Harvey would say, "The Rest of the Story."  

This   is   something the American New Media seem to have left out.    

  

How do   you attract 200,000 Germans to an American   presidential   candidate's campaign  

rally in   Berlin?        

  

A.      With the charisma   and reputation of the candidate?    

B.      With a compelling   political message?  

C.      With lots of advance   advertising?  

D.    With the top two rock bands in Germany giving a free     concert with the American candidate coming out for a short speech between   the   bands?  

  

"D"  of course.   What the   American media following and   fawning over Obama failed to mention about his   Berlin speech was why   the crowds were really there.  95% of them could care   less   about Obama or American politics.  They came to see a free   concert   with the German equivalents of Willy Nelson and Madonna   headlining.     Obama was an unwelcome and boring   interruption giving a political   speech in a foreign language   between the acts - which is why the crowd only gave   lame applause   a couple of times - after all, how many of them spoke English or     cared less?   Obama didn't care about the crowd either.    His   speech was really for the American media and the crowd was a   backdrop for the   photo ops.  And the American media bit on it   hook line and sinker and just   sorta, kinda forgot to mention the   rock bands that really drew the   crowds .    

  

France  saw the 200,000 Germans and surrendered   again   .    

  

On   another note.  Someone did the math on Obama the     Senator.  He has only been a Senator for 18 months.  But with all   the   recesses, four day weekends, campaigning and absences, Obama   has only spent   about 6 weeks of workdays on the Senate floor as   one of the most junior   Senators.  Most of his votes, about   80% when he was not absent, have been   "present" or   "abstain".  He also chairs a committee that has never met     because the chairman has never called a meeting.    As a   trial   lawyer he only tried 14 cases in court - and minor ones at   that.   As   a "community organizer" his major cause was   getting the asbestos out of a   housing project.  After 2 years   of trying the asbestos was still there when   he left and is still   there even now that he is a Senator and presumably has some   pull   to get things done.    

  

That's   it.  His entire real world work resume.  6   weeks work in   the Senate with nothing to show for it. Two years as a lawyer and     only 14 minor trials.  And two years as a "community organizer"  with   nothing accomplished.
