You call that evidence?

Prove your claim.

You can't
It's bullshit

and Obama has voted more times in this Congressional Session than McCain has

You can prove everything that has been written on McCain and Palin with solid evidence right? Oh wait, it came from the media so it must be true...Where did this story come from?

Fact check:

Senator Obama was sworn in to his first Senate term on January 2005 and joined the 109th Congress.

The Senate is not always in session and it can be argued that only counting session days as 'work days' is a misrepresentation of service done by any Senator.

During this 109th Congress, the Senate met 109 times during 2005 and 109 times during 2006 for a total of 218 days in session.

Senator Obama announced his intent to form a panel to explore a Presidential bid on January 16, 2007. The Senate had been in session for 7 days.

Total days in session during this time period equals 225 days

So even if the author was only counting days in session for Obama (and, conveniently, not McCain), the numbers do not add up.

It is doubtful this mysterious number was based on roll-call votes.

Sen. McCain only had four Senators miss more votes in the 109th Congress (2005-2006). Sen. McCain missed 58 votes but, to his credit, did cast 587 votes. Sen. Obama? He missed 11 votes and cast 634 votes. That's a lot of votes for someone who, as implied by the article, only worked for 143 days.

(and that's only in the LAST Congressional Session....2005-2006.....Not even taking into consideration the present 110th Congress, where McCain has missed more votes than anyone, including the guy who had a brain hemmorage, the number would be much high for Obama vs McCain)

John McCain missed 64% of the votes

Link

Even while campaigning, Obama made over 50% of the Votes

i'd say he's more qualified for president than some here are to actually vote for president.

as scarry as this sounds, the dumber this country gets as a whole, the more i feel that people should have to qualify to vote.
