"Obama acknowledged voting "present" -- a vote similar in its effect to "abstain" -- 129 times during his eight-year state Senate tenure, according to a Boston Globe fact-check at the time. The Globe said that Obama cast about 4,000 votes as an Illinois legislator, meaning that he voted "present" in about one of every 31 votes he took. The New York Times reported that the records show at least 36 occasions in which Obama was either the only state senator to vote present or was part of a group of six or fewer to vote that way."southwind said:

Can you give me exact dates?
Wasn't it Robert Gates who mentioned BO and HC's concerns as to how Benghazi was bad ju ju for their political careers and they were more concerned over that rather than lives at stake?
Of course you'll dismiss his comments as they go against the regime.

Well, besides putting people to work, it would add supply to the total global supply, lowering prices.and dependance on that five per cent! It would seem we are now the number one producer of natural gas. By increasing our exports, and building more natural gas liquefaction plants, we could bring prices down, by driving up global supply. Simple law of supply and demand. It's all it would take is Washington backing of the idea, but frankly, with Obama, Reid, and Paposi, in charge,------ I don't see it happening!777 fixer said:

Since you always want to bring up Bush.....777 fixer said:
[SIZE=24pt]June 6, 2013, the 69th anniversary of "D-Day", the largest invasion ever attempted, where 200,000 Americans stormed the beaches at[/SIZE] [SIZE=24pt]Normandy to begin the final push to defeat Nazi Germany in WWII. D-Day marked the turning point in WWII in Europe, where the Nazis were engaged in mass murder of Jews and minorities by the thousands.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=24pt]Today, European heads of state make it a point to recall and honor the sacrifices of those who landed in Normandy , as do our Presidents....
well, most of them....[/SIZE]
[SIZE=24pt]In the 69 years since D-Day, there are four occasions when the President of the United States chose not to visit the D-Day Monument[/SIZE] [SIZE=24pt]that honors the soldiers killed during the Invasion.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=24pt]The occasions were:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=36pt]1. Barack Obama, 2010[/SIZE]
[SIZE=36pt]2. Barack Obama, 2011[/SIZE]
[SIZE=36pt]3. Barack Obama, 2012[/SIZE]
[SIZE=36pt]4. Barack Obama, 2013[/SIZE]
[SIZE=24pt]For the past 69 years, every American President except Obama have taken the time to honor the memory and sacrifices of the 6,000 American soldiers killed on D-Day. ....[/SIZE][SIZE=36pt]Except Obama![/SIZE]
[SIZE=24pt]June 6 2010, Obama had no events scheduled.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=24pt]June 6, 2011, Obama met with the National Security team and was interviewed by WEWS Cleveland and WDIV in Detroit about the auto industry - FAR too busy to visit the D-Day memorial.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=24pt]June 6, 2012, instead of honoring our fallen soldiers, Obama made a campaign trip toCalifornia on Air Force 1 (at our expense) to raise funds for (his) upcoming election.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=24pt]June 6, 2013, Obama was doing ANOTHER fund raiser with the multimillionaires in the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in Palo Alto CA, once again at our expense.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=24pt]America - Aren't you proud?[/SIZE]

Once again. Turn off the noise machine!
"The first president to travel to Normandy for D-Day was Ronald Reagan, who in 1984 attended commemorative ceremonies there for the 40th anniversary of the Allied landings. Bill Clinton attended D-Day memorial ceremonies in Normandy on the 50th anniversary of the landings in 1994, George W. Bush did so on the 60th anniversary of the landings in 2004, and Barack Obama did likewise on the 65th anniversary of the landings in 2009:"

"In fact, any public presidential activity paying tribute to fallen U.S. and Allied soldiers on the anniversary of D-Day has been an exception rather than the rule in recent years. Available White House presidential schedules for 6 June going back to the beginning of the Bush administration in 2001 list no public events connected to D-Day in 2012, 2011, 2010, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2003, or 2002.
Between 1944 and 2012 a span of 68 years exactly four U.S. presidents have attended D-Day memorial ceremonies a total of exactly six times. Barack Obama was one of them."

Effin moron. Do a little research for a change. It took only 5 seconds to find out you were proving yourself an idiot, once again. Read the thread topic again.
