I'll have sympathy for Barack McClurkssein Obama when he starts standing up for things like gay rights and a woman's right to choose instead of voting "present" on them.

i'm not going to defend obama over mcclurkin, because i share your view; but two wrongs don't make a right, and obama's middle name should not be used in such a pejorative manner just because one thug shared it.

I suspect he found that not too many people were paying attention to his horse manure of late - and decided he had to come up with this egregious and appalling s*** about Obama.

You're misinformed about the "present" votes by Obama, any easy thing to do since Hillary sent out a post card distorting his record in New Hampshire. The "present" votes were placed by Obama and others because of a plan created by...Planned Parenthood.
Please read this article, it will clear up the misconceptions on his abortion record

Considering that Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Rights Action League have awarded him a 100 percent for opposing abortion restrictions, I'd like to hear what else you think it is he should do on that point.
