Another Obama missed vote – Maybe we should call him NO-bama!

Maybe we should be calling him NO-bama! Because of his less than impressive voting record in the UNITED STATES SENATE! Here is another VERY IMPORTANT bill that he was not around to vote on.

Consolidated Appropriations, FY2008 – Vote Agreed to (76-17, 1 Present, 6 Not Voting)

The Senate passed H.R. 2764, a 2008 fiscal year omnibus appropriations bill that provides additional war funding.

Sen. Richard Durbin voted YES……send e-mail or see bio
Sen. Barack Obama voted Not Voting……send e-mail or see bio

Even Durbin voted YES on this bill! He must have not gotten through to NO-bama with his instructions on how he wanted NO-bama to vote!

---

He is making up lame excuses for all the “PRESENT” votes he cast while an Illinois State Senator but neary a word is said about his less than stellar representation of the People of Illinois since he has been The United States Senator from Illinois!

They can make all the excuses for him they want, HE DOES NOT DO HIS JOB. We are payiung his salary to “follow his dream” of becoming President. In addition we are paying for his security and only god knows what else. At the end of November he has raised over $80 Million dollars – he could certainly pay for security but no way, he gives money to other politicians for their campaigns so they will support HIS. Sounds like pimping the issue to me!

February 5th you will do well to VOTE NO-bama!

John Kerry Whines in Fund Raising Email

 Below is an email I recieved from John Kerry, please notice the third and fourth paragraphs. What a phoney. This whole thing sounds like the Democrats are worried (roadblock Republicans, comment). He wants to get the things they have dreamed of for years in 2008, sure the last 2 years have been a bust for Congress – THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS that is- they have done nothing, they have not kept any of their campaign promises. They know they are going to lose! He is actually pleading for donations. What a whining phoney!

“I just wanted to mention one more thing I didn’t mention in my last email: in politics,  the end of the year marks the end of another fundraising quarter, and this one really counts for our friends who are trying to pick up some hard fought seats currently occupied by Roadblock Republicans.

When these numbers get reported in January, Republicans will pore over them looking for who might be vulnerable to attack. We want to show them that these Democrats are ready for the fight and can take anything the GOP can throw at them.

So do what you can to signal to the Republicans that 2008 will be a very bad year for them, and a very good year for Democrats.

And to widen the battlefield, I want to introduce another great Democrat to our fundraising mix: Tom Udall in New Mexico.  New Mexico is suddenly a great opportunity for Democrats to knock another brick out of the Republican Roadblock. And Tom’s been a true progressive fighter in the House — with his victory, it’s going to be a great year for Democrats next year all over the country.

So let’s give them the money they need now, and let’s get to work in 2008.

One last thing: Teresa and I would just like to wish all of you a very happy holiday season, and a wonderful new year. Thank you for all you do — and let’s join in a New Year’s resolution to make 2008 the year we build a big progressive majority in the United States that can get done all the things we’ve hoped for and dreamed of all these years.Thanks for your help,
