It is not true that he only voted present while in Illinois. This from the NY Times in 2007 may help you believe that..

It specifies the number of time, but also questions his votes on certain issues and the WHY he voted how he did.

Most imortant to me would be not only that hypocritical part of his life, but many others....his attendance in the US Senate was the very worst.

BUT, he was elected President twice and is President now. Folks should have payed attention during the election of 2008 and 2012.

He was a shrewd politician with not much in the way of scruples, but was AND IS a very shrewd politiian. He does know how to play the game and in my opinion, that has served to harm our country.

Any debate on the Illinois voting record, however is not relevant any longer.
