Well, hmmmph! If Obama was in office 143 days, and only voted 'Present' 131, I think we have the right to know where he was the other 12!!! Was he muskrat hunting? Shooting a BB pistol somewhere? Seeing if he could see Holland from his house?

We the people have the right to know! After all, he is fair game now!

Do more than WIKI your candidate.
Please re-read my post, in which I said I'm not an Obama fan. However, wiki is a plenty reliable source for the scant facts that I gleaned from it.
My point was that if we are going to state our grievances, they had better at least be based on facts. I too had heard that as soon as Obama was elected, he made a bid for the Presidential nomination, which is obviously not the case. He has a lot wrong with him that doesn't require fabrication, so let's bring that out, instead of making things up and looking silly.

I am not voting for Obama...
So give me a reason why I should vote for a Nazi Grandpa?
A good reason? There are NONE!
Us "Independents" are NOT voting for a senile Constitution Hater!
In fact... us Independents suggest all the Obama supporters buy lots of guns and ammo if they want to feel SAFE in the next couple of months!
Bash Obama all you want...
But that does not take away the FACT that when John McCain laughed at Ron Paul....he laughed at the US Constitution.
Constitution haters shouldn't even be on the ballot!

I got newd for dip wad.
There will be no welfare and and no jobs, GWB wants to give it all to Wall Street and let you pay for it.

I am against welfare for those that consider it a lifestyle, but I can honestly say I would rather feed a hungry chid than some fat cat on Wall Street that has robbed the American people with their un ending greedy grab for wealth and power.

You seem to be forgetting the crap we took the last 8 years for being Democrats by you Rebumblicans. Now that the shoe is on the other foot it is a different story you Rebumblicans are singing. Heavy Handed, Harsh, seems to me it is payback.

Who cares....were you at work everyday this month, have a Dr's or Dentist appointment, or were you out on the campaign trail for President. I know I have not been at work everyday this month. John McCain has 30+ years in the Senate that does not qualify him for it either because he cant seem to remove his head from Bush's behind

Until there are enough Democrats in Congress to over ride the Presidents veto we are still being held hostage by the Republican policies

Please someone explain, why are you McCain folks willing to pay huge taxes to bail out Wall Street-----please, you still aren't planning on that old trickle down to you lie, are you? Nothing has trickled for almost 8 yrs. and it isn't about to start anytime soon.

And not a signle Republican will eever give credit to President Clinton for leaving office with a balanced budget, not to mention a surplus, and anyone that wanted a job had a job, and it wasn't just a part-time, low-paying job either...Americans never had it so good, at least not in my life-time.
I'm still looking for someone tell me how you can have a budget surplus and be in debt.

The country's willingness to elect a man with less experience in lieu of an old warmonger speaks volumes as to what we are feeling and thinking, doesn't it?

yo dude. remember the last 7 1/2 years? which party was in oontrol of the oval office, both houses???
and democrats had a heavy hand in creating this mess??
yo dude. I think your listening way too much to that comedian, Rush Limpalong and that other hate monger.
Rich,

Democrats have had control of both Senate and House since 2006. Senate is split 49 to 49 with 2 independents who both caucus with the Democrats, giving them the majority - along with MAJORITY leader Harry Reid. Can't have a majority leader without having the majority.

The House is split 233 Democrats to 202 Republicans. Majority Leader is Steny Hoyer and Speaker is Nancy Pelosi. Again, can't have a majority leader without having a majority.

So, the Republicans haven't been in total control in 2 years.

This was before the DOT com bust and NAFTA took full effect.
History lesson. The Dot com explosion and subsequent growth in the economy was nothing but a big ponzi scheme. Companies with no sales and no net value had IPOs that made people billionaires...then everyone realized they had invested in a company with no sustainable future, and they sold their stock. 99.9% of the dot coms went bankrupt and left the financial landscape leaving investors broke. The Dot com artificial boom took place while Clinton and his SEC were in control.
NAFTA was another Clinton blunder. The effects were not felt until the first year of the Bush presidency...and it just keeps getting better for US labor jobs, doesn't it? <sarcasm>
Here are a few other things that went unfettered during Clinton's years: 911 attack planning, car bombing of the WTC and the Oaklahoma City Federal building, Saddam and his pals makign a mockery of the USA and the UN by continually thumbing his nose at UN sanctions, widespread corporate fraud ..best known cases include Enron, Global Crossings, Tyco, etc.
Clinton also pushed bills to allow people easy access to credit, worthy or not. He also made it easy for banks to go through rashes of mergers and acquisitions (personally I have one credit card that changed names 10 times during the 1990s). He also made it easier for banks and brokers to bundle bad debt and sell the junk paper to others for a quick turn of a buck or two. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were left holding the bag full of bad debt...corporate and personal debt. This all started during the Clinton era.
Yeah, everyone had a job, but the economy under Clinton was a house of cards that just kept getting taller. The dot com model of business with no paper value other than it's stock offering shouldn't have even been allowable. When was the last time you talked to a "Day Trader"? You know, the guy who quit his day job to trade dotcom stocks on e-trade? Nothing but a ponzi scheme.
I think if you took off your rosy colored Clinton glasses, you might actually see things for what they really were: a big Facade.
The balanced budget from Clintons years came at the expense of our national security.
Now if only the crazies who think Bill was so great would actually believe in the truth.

I can't explain, but I will point out this. The house is currently controlled by Democrats, and the plan didn't pass. Don't blame the republicans!

I believe the vote was evenly split.
