The problem every Senator (except Obama) has is that he votes for stuff, and he hornswaggles and swaps spit to get other Senators to vote for his own stuff.

In the end they look like political prostitutes.

Some of the votes you noted in your list are certainly questionable. Some of them were just political swapsies.

This is one of the reasons Obama voted "present" so terribly many times!
