Cause from what I see, he voted ABSENT most of the time. I see where 143 days of experience comes from now. As for Ronald Regan having no senate experience, HE WAS THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA.....HELLLOOOOOO...... of those “634 votes” you might want to check the percentage of how many times he said yea or nea.

We've all heard the same LLL nonsense about W being on vacation too often, and it's not worthy of the research to prove he was any different in that regard, than other Presidents. And you're wrong, I voted for W four times, and would vote for him again. You want to talk about vacations, how about Nancy Piglosi ordering five weeks off when the energy crisis was at it's peak. B-HO and his lack of time in the Senate, is pathetic, made even more so by the fact he has no executive experience at all. None. Reptition doesn’t make your bullshit BDS rant true, max.

That's 143 days LONGER than ACTUAL days Bush served in office his entire 8 years. He's on vacation more than he is working. Yet you voted HIM in office. TWICE!!! Ever hear of the saying "Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice, shame on Me". And I'm so tired of military members using the excuse "he's never held a gun or watch someone die in your arms". Well you know what, coming from someone who served in the military herself, 4 brothers who all served in the military (all in the Gulf war) and a husband who is retired military - Sorry but we had no business in Vietman, and we had no business in Iraq. No lives should have been lost. Both wars were a mistake and NO ONE should have had to carry a gun or watch their 18 year old friend die so the Rich can get Richer off of oil and contractors get rich off of wars. I know Navy Seal and Marin Recons. And they are pissed that they make 40 to 60 grand doing what they do and here come contractor's making 200grand at war for the same job Seals and Recons do. If you realize that War=$$$ for all the greedy people in office - you would never want to join the military. Hey- what are you complaining about.

Zero! Nada... NONE! Fact Check: Senator Obama was sworn in to his first Senate term on January 2005 and joined the 109th Congress. Senator Obama announced his intent to form a panel to explore a Presidential bid on January 16, 2007. Total days in session during this time period equals 304 days. Oh - Yeah.. and during that time... Sen. McCain only had four Senators miss more votes in the 109th Congress (2005-2006). Sen. McCain missed 58 votes but, to his credit, did cast 587 votes. Sen. Obama? He missed 11 votes and cast 634 votes. Sell crazy somewhere else... we're all stocked up here! How many days did Ronald Reagan log as a US Senator?? Zero! Nada… NONE!

Not bad for a guy with “143″ days of experience. Even the President listens to him instead of McCain. I’ll take Good Judgement over Experience any day.
