Obama Supports Total Handgun Ban

[Amendment10]

As a side note to Obama's sidestepping of the issues, although I have not been able to substantiate the following, consider the Illinois "present" vote, aka the "no" vote, particularly with respect to Obama's sidestepping of his pro-choice stance on abortion.

"Obama's record in Illinois represents that of a pragmatic progressive, who pushed for moderate reforms and opposed right-wing legislation. In the IL legislature, voting "present" is the equivalent of voting "no" because a majority of "yes" votes are required for passage. Many IL legislators use the "present" vote as an evasion on an unpopular choice, so that they can avoid being targeted for voting "no." During the 2004 Democratic primary, an opponent mocked Obama's "present" vote on abortion bills with flyers portraying a rubber duck and the words, "He ducked!"."
