Obama's voting record....Need some info.?

It's pretty well known that Obama votes "present" rather than "yes" or "no" on most issues. Can anyone name which bills he has done that on in the past, or perhaps a site which would have the information?

    An answer of present implies that though you don't agree with the resolution presented, that you do see the need for change and would like people to see that this issue is important enough for you to show up for. I think every one of the candidate has a link on their senatorial websites to their voting records.

    Just go to "NOt qualified to be President of the United States.com" You'll find John Kerry, and Ted Kennedy's name right next to their!!!!!!!!

    He wanted to run for president from the beggining and he did not want to be judge by his votes.
