I'm sorry, I was off by 1%.

Funny you bring that up. It appears Obama voted PRESENT on many tough issues when he was in the Illinois state senate. Like on the bill which would have prohibited strip clubs and other adult establishments from being built within 1,000 feet of schools, churches, and daycares. I mean, is that really even a tough decision right there?

I would think that ANY decent-minded person would respect the establishment of a church (whether you're religious or not), or at least a SCHOOL?!

Wouldn't you think? I don't know...maybe it's just me. Maybe I really am all twisted up in the brain for thinking that children shouldn't have to go to a daycare center next to "Wet Willy's".
