Soon after Barack Obama became an official candidate for president of the United States, Nathan Gonzalez wrote a piece for The Wall Street Journal.  Under the headline, The Ever-”Present” Obama, the piece focused upon a single, yet telling, aspect of the voting record tallied by the liberal Democrat while serving as a state senator in Illinois.  Obama liked to vote “Present” — instead of “Yeah” or “Nay” — on tough issues.

In the video above, Bruce Chapman expands on the “Present” theme by speculating about why the junior U.S. senator has such a difficult time taking sides when it comes to casting votes on the senate floor.  Take a look.

    How come then Obama does not seem to have any presence of mind?
