“Obama talks like Martin Luther King but votes like Bush.”- Matt Gonzalez
OBAMA’S VOTING RECORD
1/06/05: Obama voted for Bush’s Ohio electors. Roll Call 1
1/26/05: Obama voted to confirm Condoleezza Rice for Secretary of State.
Roll call 2
2/01/05: Obama was part of a unanimous consent agreement not to
filibuster the nomination of lawless torturer Alberto Gonzales as chief
law enforcement officer of the United States (U.S. Attorney General). No
roll call is available to view but the unanimous consent is noted in
Thomas.loc.gov
2/10/05: Obama voted for an act known as The Class Action Extreme
UnFairness Act of 2005 (S 5) that makes it much more difficult, if not
impossible, for victims to seek and obtain damages in class action suits
filed against wrongdoers who have harmed multiple victims. Roll call 9
2/15/05: Obama voted to confirm Michael Chertoff, a proponent of
water-board torture, an individual connected to the financing of 9/11
and the man behind the round-up of thousands of people of Middle-Eastern
descent following 9/11. By confirming him, Obama, in effect, endorsed
terrorist attacks on America, water-board torture and racism. One
consequence of Obama’s’ vote to confirm Chertoff was the Katrina
disaster. Roll call 10. (In May, 2005, Obama voted to give Chertoff the
authority to waive all laws with no judicial review and no relief. See
below.)
4/21/05: Obama voted to make John “Death Squad” Negroponte the National
Intelligence Director. In Central America, John Negroponte was connected
to death squads that murdered nuns and children in sizable quantities.
He is suspected of instigating death squads while in Iraq, resulting in
the current insurgency. Instead of calling for Negroponte’s prosecution,
Obama rewarded him by making him National Intelligence Director. On
4/17/05, the California Democratic Party unanimously passed a resolution
discussing the death squads and calling on Senators to reject the
nomination of John Negroponte. Roll call 107
