The 'One' occupying the White House Oval Office is apparently a man of habit. For his first job, he was greased into an Illinois State Senator seat. In his sterling terms in that office, he voted 'Present' 129 times! (He did find it within himself to vote 'Aye' on a bill making it legal for a doctor to put a surviving abortion baby on a shelf until it dies however)
He then moved into another greased seat in the US Senate. A year after arrival, he began his long run for President --- making it possible to avoid voting on many important matters. Those that he did vote for or against -- were telling of his character and mindset, however.
Finally, as POTUS, he sat in the Oval Office and let Reid and Pelosi carry the water on his Porkulus Bill and even porkier Obamacare bill while he stayed above the fray. He has however, sprung from 'Present' to MISSING IN ACTION these last few weeks.
- The Congressional battle of the budget --- LAST YEAR's budget mind you - no action or comment
- The crisis in Egypt - no action or discernible comment
- The crisis in Libya and several smaller countries - no action or discernible comment
- The nuclear crisis in Japan - no action or discernible comment
What has he commented on? Why - the March NCAA basketball brackets and his upcoming taxpayer paid trip for a weekend in Rio with the little missus.
Question - Can a sitting president get re-elected on a record of 'Present' & 'AWOL'?
Answer -- Ask me next year!! Nothin' the American voters will do or not do surprises me any more.
