I was wrong?

Tinker

President Barack Obama don't care what happens in the Middle East, Europe or the Far East and any other place outside this country for that matter. He went to a fund raiser and played golf after receiving the latest violent explosive reports from Iraq. So even if the news from those faraway places are horrible President Obama just does his TV Show. And that about all that we the American people are going to get from him for another two years.

He really does vote “present’ just like he did back in Illinois State legislature.

Read it and weep because like you I dismissed that early news of him in the Illinois legislatures of how he politically learn the craft to game the system. And that was in the early part of his Barack Obama's political career, and not a real indicator of who he really is.

I was wrong, he really does vote present if he is not voting for some liberal cause that don’t work, and no one else likes?

In 1999, Barack Obama was faced with a difficult vote in the Illinois legislature — to support a bill that would let some juveniles be tried as adults, a position that risked drawing fire from African-Americans, or to oppose it, possibly undermining his image as a tough-on-crime moderate.

In the end, Mr. Obama chose neither to vote for nor against the bill. He voted “present,” effectively sidestepping the issue, an option he invoked nearly 130 times as a state senator.

Sometimes the “present’ votes were in line with instructions from Democratic leaders or because he objected to provisions in bills that he might otherwise support. At other times, Mr. Obama voted present on questions that had overwhelming bipartisan support. In at least a few cases, the issue was politically sensitive.
