120. See Obamian's post, #88. The Senate transcript from the night before the vote.

Harry Reid sounds awfully definite about not having votes on either Biden's amendment or Kyl-Lieberman.

Quote from Senate Transcript

This is what Reid said the night before the bill

Mr. REID. Mr. Chairman, there will be no more votes tonight. We have tried to work something out on the Kyl-Lieberman amendment and the Biden amendment. We have been unable to do that.

We have been very close a few times, but we have just been informed that Senator Biden will not have a vote anytime in the near future. There will not be a vote on the other one anytime in the near future. We hope tonight will bring more clearness on the issue.�

Obama publicly announced at the time of the vote that he was opposed to the bill. All the presidential candidates in congress have been missing votes. Obama can't be blamed for missing a vote that he was told wouldn't occur.
