Barack Hussein Obama side stepped issues 130 times in Illinois legislature. While a present vote is not unusual in Illinois, it is obvious that he doesn't like taking on tough issues.
It is pretty obvious to me that he is straddling the fence. He has never had to vote on the Iraq war as a sworn U.S. Senator and has not impressed me in the least.. I actually find him quite humerous as he believes that he has all the answers, without the experience.
