Where does Obama stand on Abortion Rights,

[liberalnurse]

Reproductive Rights of Women? He fails to support Women's Issue with his Senate Vote; so maybe there is a rational explanation.

I was amazed at how MANY "No Vote/Absent" occurrences he has for a new Senator.

1. He has a history of avoiding "hot" votes.

True Chicago-land politician.

2. Yes does...but then he jumps down Hillary's throat when she votes

yes on an unpopular bill, that he sat out.....Kyl-Liberman for example.

5. That is the exact reason I went to look at his

voting record.....Obama definitely can "talk-the talk"! He gave an inspiring, grand speech at the Iowa Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, I was impressed. So, I wanted to see if he could also "walk-the walk" and has he backed up the claims he now owns as this indeed could very likely make this a 2-Candidate Primary.

What I found was deflating.,nothing impressive, no leadership, no Kennedy.

3. Same as Hillary's

Is there no smear you won't stoop to?

BHO nv's 82 HRC nv's 47 Is there no lie you won't tell?

6. To be fair, none of the Senators running voted on either of those 2 bills.
