Today I have the distinct displeasure of reporting to you all that Barack Obama isn’t the messiah. In fact, he is probably more down to Earth than a lot of my fellow Obamanian’s would like to admit. I, for one, would feel much more comfortable voting for Obama knowing that he is a normal American political leader and sees reality as much as he does optimism.
According to CNN, both Obama and Biden had an opportunity to vote down the infamous “Bridge to Nowhere” during their time in the Senate. Both of them voted in favor of the spending. Not be outdone, however, Senator John McCain did not vote on both the amendment and the bill.
I’m beginning to agree more and more with my roommate about requiring all Senators to vote yea or nay on every bill that comes to the floor. Unless, of course, you’re running for President…
