The Voting Record

Barack Obama continues to state he is the candidate of change. But he never really talks about what change would mean or what change would look like. He acts as if he is the person for collaboratively working across party lines.

But the facts are clear.

Obama was ranked the most liberal Senator in 2007 with a lifetime liberal score of 88 compared to Hillary who was ranked 16th in 2007 and has a lifetime liberal score of 79.4 based on National Journal’s vote ratings.

There is no way Obama can reach across party lines with this type of voting record and have success. He is either blowing smoke up someone’s behind or he is smoking something himself.

Statistics: Barack Obama missed 230 of 1194 votes (19%) since Jan 6, 2005. Obama has only sponsored 129 bills since Jan 4, 2005, of which 117 haven't made it out of committee and only 2 were successfully enacted.

Statistics: Hillary Clinton missed 203 of 2502 votes (8%) since Jan 23, 2001. She has sponsored 363 bills and 10 were successfully enacted which was very good relative to her peers.

Statistics: John McCain has sponsored 537 bills and 31 were successfully enacted which was exceedingly good relative to his peers.

Those wanting to believe what the Obama rhetoric is stating are being extremely gullible. He’d be worse than Jimmy Carter for the economy and national security.
