That goes both ways...
Keep in mind congressional republicans voted in line with Bush like 90% of the time his first term.

Why did you post this remark? Did any "Obamatrons" come on the thread to say the story is untrue? What point is it that you think is not connecting?

Agreed. Politicians are not doing their jobs if all they do is vote the way their respective Parties vote like a dog on a leash.

Keep in mind that as a senator, Obama voted with Bush something like 85% of the time...

Per the Congressional Quarterly Record,

Obama voted 40% of the time in line with Bush in 2007.

And 45% of the time in 2006.

So if you add those together it comes to 85%, but adding them together is kind of meaningless.
