Obama Attacks McCain For Missing Vote
Barack Obama used the Senate floor today to jab at his rival, John McCain, for McCain’s opposition to the GI Bill. Obama flew to Washington early this morning to vote in favor of the bill, which he co-sponsored with Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va. In his brief remarks before the Senate, Obama said he respects McCain’s military service but “can’t believe” his opposition to a bill which would increase education funding for troops.
[...]
[McCain responded]: "Perhaps, if Senator Obama would take the time and trouble to understand this issue he would learn to debate an honest disagreement respectfully. But, as he always does, he prefers impugning the motives of his opponent, and exploiting a thoughtful difference of opinion to advance his own ambitions. If that is how he would behave as president, the country would regret his election."
I also noticed that Fat Ted Kennedy didn't show up to vote either. Of course, he was excused because of a tumor in his arse. Yet, Fat Ted is healthy enough to hop aboard his yacht after being released from the hospital. Boston Globe:
Hours out of the hospital, US Senator Edward M. Kennedy sought refuge this afternoon in the serenity of Nantucket Sound, taking his 50-foot schooner on a two-hour sail.
"It was wonderful to be on the water," Kennedy said, shuffling off a dock after his return. "It's all it takes."
Got Hypocrisy, Dems? Oh yeah, you're overflowing with it. If hypocrisy was a source of energy, there's no doubt that the U.S. would be energy independent. We could fuel and power everything we need to from Dem Hypocrisy.
Oh, and by the way, isn't it wasteful of Fat Ted to own, let alone use a 50-foot schooner considering the energy crisis? How many rank and file Dems own a 50-foot yacht?

It's a sailboat.
As well as having an engine in the event that there is no breeze or wind.
