Obama a no-show on the Kyl-Lieberman amendment

[Clintonista2]

WOW! He's on a roll! Two in one day!


Start rationalizing... now!

[Mass]

1. Makes more sense to miss the two votes than only one.

It makes clear he was busy somewhere else and not skipping the vote.

However, it would have been nice for him to be there and vote. Every other Democratic presidential candidates were there, so it is not tonight debate.

9. Obama was IN THE SENATE

[Mass]

10. Nope. He was in NH.

(He should have been in the Senate, but he was not - He was campaigning in NH).

18. That was the roll call. He didn't respond, so... nt

3. you first

Hillary Clinton voted yea on the Kyl-Liberman amendment.

[Mass]

4. I'd like to hear the reason as well...

[Clintonista2]

7. Hillary put herself out on a limb

Right or wrong, it took courage to do so. Your turn. Or are you waiting for Obama's "statement"?

[hedgehog]

8. I have no idea why he didn't vote on this or the Biden-Boxer Brownbeck

amendment. I'm waiting to hear why. I trust he had a good reason for both abstentions.

11. obama

maybe it's a strategy, Hillary's been getting all the attention, so him not voting, they will bring it up in the debate then they will all go after him tonight then he can fight them all off and win then he can prove his medal , get media attention, and get some votes

[hedgehog]

13. I wonder if someone changed the schedule on the votes?

[Cha]

12. hillary voted the dlc way..that's

not a limb that's a given.

[Rainbowreflect]

15. Just one more reason I will never support her.

[ShortnFiery]

17. Yeah, and her IWR vote can also help her take credit for the hell hole we created in

Iraq. :grr:

Courage? B.S. More like chickenshit armchair warmonger, one each, HRC. :thumbsdown:

[closeupready]

14. That's irresponsible of him.

imo.

[ShortnFiery]

16. Obama has lost my vote - Preventing a war with IRAN is absolutely #1 priority.

If you think "shock and awe" was horrific, just wait until these CRAZY IDEOLOGUES mini-nuke over two dozen targets in Iran. :grr: :scared:

THIS INSANITY MUST BE STOPPED, AND STOPPED NOW!!!

I'm so ashamed of the democratic senators who voted "aye." :cry: :grr: :(

[kmccaskill]

19. o-bomb

i think he will get killed tonight, lets say goodbye to the obama presidency, he might even want a way out by not voting, if this is some weird strategy to win i have no idea.

[superkia]

20. To me thats just as bad as Clinton voting for it! Bad job by both.
