Question

Why has Obama voted in support of the President's proposed legislature 95% of the time?

Answer 1

Most of those votes Obama attacked McCain about was bills to name a bridge or something insignificant like that. Obama is so deceitful and underhanded. I guess this is Chicago style politics.

Answer 2

ssssh!!!!!   The liberals don't want that out, you need to delete this question, if your not a leming, you will be attacked.

Answer 3

Shhh, don't you know Obama doesn't like it when you compare what he says to his voting record?

Answer 4

Because Obama is a sell out.

Answer 5

Obama was smart...he supported what he was forced to...and avoided the controversy as much as possilbe.  It was likely he had his own beliefs and didn't want to get sucked into Bush's BS...but unfortunately, as a Senator, you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.

They can bury you in Washington...so you have to do some things you don't want to.  That's just life.

Answer 6

You have it backasswards, it is McCain who voted with GWB 95% of the time.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Huh? Obama is a Democrat who has voted AGAINST Bush on almost every piece of LEGISLATION that Bush has introduced. The level of misinformation out there is astonishing.

Answer 11

Iviolate...you need to learn the truth. The truth is not what you've seen.

Answer 12

He is towing the party line which also happens to be named the "do what the guy next to you did line."

Answer 13

You've got it wrong.

That was McCain who voted 95% of the time.

Enough said.

Answer 14

Because he knows the Bush administration has it "right."  The other side of his face is democratic and that's the side that gives the pretty speeches.

Eve - so are you saying you support Obama because he's a sell-out?  Wonder what he would do if put in control of the most powerful nation on earth?  Just too scary to even contemplate!

Answer 15

It was McCain, if you feel otherwise, supply the link.

Answer 16

I am not an Obama supporter but I doubt that this fact is accurate.

Obama only votes present.

You have to vote FOR or AGAINST something before anyone can see a trend and determine what you stand for.

Answer 17

That was McCain, buddy.

According to the National Review, Obama has the most liberal voting record in the Senate. Are you trying to say that Bush is a liberal? I now he spends tax dollars like a liberal, but that's kind of a stretch.

Answer 18

I'm sorry, Isn't that McCain
