From MSNBC.com's Andy Merten

This afternoon, Obama and Clinton will return to Washington, D.C., to make an appearance at their day jobs for the first time in two weeks. They will be voting on a Senate bill that will make it easier for individuals to sue employers over unequal pay -- a politically contentious measure, which has invoked the threat of veto from the White House.

It’s no secret that the demands of running for the presidency can sometimes interfere with the daily voting duties of congressional members looking to further their careers. Late last year, Obama caught flak for not voting on a non-binding resolution declaring the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, after he sought to use Clinton’s yay-vote to paint her as too hawkish.

As of today, Obama has missed slightly fewer than 40 percent of his Senate votes since the beginning of 2007, while Clinton’s absentee rate is just under 30 percent.

But McCain has topped both candidates, missing a staggering 58 percent of his votes during the 110th Congress, according to the Washington Post’s congressional votes database.

1. Given the way he votes

Why would they be complaining? Oh, that's right, MSNBC is a part of the corporate-media shill game. No wonder they need him to vote as he does.

with this statistic.
