Glenn Beck does a Friday show of one Founding father bio....it’s very good.
Obama voted “present” more often than he voted yes or no in his previous incarnations as a state and federal office holder.
Contrast those “present” votes to the founding fathers. In July 1776 when they put their names on the Declaration of Independence they knew that the most likely outcome would be that they would be arrested by the British, tried for treason and executed. Further their property would be forfeited and their families made destitute. No one voted “present.”
Rather than signing their own death warrant they signed the most famous declaration of human rights in the history of the world and they bet their life on it. These men did not vote “present.”
