McCain should call him out on his gun control votes.

Then the MSM would have to look at it, which they have not.

Hell, McCain should call him out on a lot of things.

Guns.

Killing live aborts.

Money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Acorn.

Bill Ayers.

Laurna Dorn(SP).

Rev. Wright.

FR Fleger (sp).

Indonesian passport.

Dual citizenship.

Fake Birth certificate posted on HIS site.

And, finally, the most liberal voting record in the US Senate. Even while he has voted present on some of the more controversial bills.

Excellent points/observations. The amount of material that can be used on this guy is overwhelming. He could be beaten worse than Dukakis if the GOP would step it up.

His attendance hasn't been perfect. He was elected Senator from the State of Illinois in 2004 and took his back bench seat in January, 2005. His attendance record was 143 or so days.

Let's do the math....or arithmetic in Obama's case.

The Senate convenes on January 4th. That leaves 361 days in the year. Then there are holidays, 7 or 8 of 'em, leaving 352 days in the year. Then there are Senate recesses and vacations......roughly 120 days depending on the business at hand, leaving 230 days. Then there's the fact finding mission, the trip to Iraq, Israel and Europe....not to mention the Presidential campaign which has consumed all of his time for the past two years which is 460 days of Senate business. But in fairness, Obama has been back in his back bench seat to vote a couple of times during his campaign.

So..through 230 days for three years and 200 days this year. we arrive at the general figure of 890 days in office. Now subtract 143 from 890 and we arrive at the 747 days of absenteeism. But what the hell.....let's give him the benefit of the few days he did return, say 13....that makes it only 764 days.

This is a record!
