Obama Votes 'Present' on The Bailout Bill

Blogs for John McCain ^ | 29 September 2008

I am completely stunned that the Obama campaign would now admit that Senator Obama did nothing to influence today's vote on the bailout bill.

Obama got as far away as he could and is now trying to blame John McCain for the bills failure?!

...Obama sought to stay above the fray and maintain a steady demeanor that advisers maintain has set him apart throughout the financial turmoil.

In other words he voted "Present" again as ususal. You just can't make this stuff up folks.

How could he vote “present” - this was a house bill. Am I missing something?

[Ramius]

Ah think it’s a metafer. Perhaps.

[sarasota]

But doesn’t it fit with his Messiah complex?

[Hildy]

Dennis "Kook"sinich of all people on Fox just a minute ago...
(words to the effect) Shepard Smith: "Won't you back off a minute and admit that this was cause by too many people basically borrowing more than they could..."
"Kook"sinish: "You're right! It happend in 1999 (interesting that Clinton was in office then) and it was caused by taking away the depression-era protection of investment...basically putting people's money at risk by taking away the oversight.

Voting Present means, at least you’re there.

Obama voted Absent.

Call B oh Bama if you need him. He will come running to the rescue of the world. He can control the MSM and he will control the world.

Obama is a Senator. The Senate did not vote yesterday, the House voted yesterday.

Hey I just posted the story straight from the McCain Blog

[ASOC]

THe Big O failed to push for a single vote from the House Black Cacus. The BLack Cacus - as a block - voted against the bailout....

Big O or Big Zero?

Thats fine, and no one dislikes Obama more than I do, I just think fair is fair and when someone being wrongly charged I want to be fair and set the record straight. The other side doesn’t do that of course, but that is no reason for not doing it ourselves.

Reading the blogs or even FR, what you are reading is not necessarily correct. We are just ordinary people for the most part, trying to figure this all out and we are all subject to error. It is not as if we are getting the truth from the media so we have to ferret it out and sometimes in doing that we end up with misinformation and then we spread it around, not intending to any harm. We just all try our best.

Have a good day:)

Even at the expense of decorum, Obama seeks to protect his liabilities.
