TREASON.

Clearly there was a conflict of interest in these votes. He couldn't vote for anything that would undermine his presidential campaign message of providing affordable health care.

Maybe yes...maybe no...you can read for yourself at his Senate website. I copied and pasted 'all' the description that was provided in summary.

No surprise that no one reads this thread, yet we have 27 threads discussing the color of each candidates mood ring.

Obama supporters don't think one's record is any reflection of how they will govern. One only needs to look at their candidates campaign rhetoric!

It would be hilarious if it was not so utterly sad.

Don't worry, its neither, and its quite safe to say you can't speak for Obama, his supporters, or his campaign.

No link Oldman? This seems remarkably suspect in my opinion- not to mention probably intellectually fraudulent to summarise things so simply...and they're showing their colours if they're using the BS terminology of the right-wing; "death tax"? Curious and curiouser, wonder if this is just another lie.

Certainly not this site:

http://obama.senate.gov/votes/109/

Haha! Previous record is no indication of future record you say. Is this official liberal doctrine?

And by the way, I do not need to speak "for" Obama to point out his record. Sheesh!

Oh no its is- for instance, from what I've seen Obama will continue to do well and vote intelligently; his opponents will contonue to smear and distort that record; ravens like yourself will continue to blindly gorge yourself on that, and partisans will never answer posts fully.

Seeing as you've gone along with the OP, perhaps you can direct me to the site he refers to?

Edit: Indeed, its more of a cover for where you proabably already have/will do so, plus it flows better . This is edging onto it btw, using such a twisted list as though it 'speaks' for him.

You can do your own research, but I don't see why you need to bother. You seem think Obama already votes intelligently which suggests to me that you have viewed his voting record already. Please tell me you didn't just make that comment out of a hope and prayer that he votes intelligently.
