As for the topic in question:
Yes, he should have been there, it is his job.
No, I do not consider his missing vote important.
Benefits have been extended quite enough already, and to me at least seem to be bordering on federal welfare. I do feel for those out of work but, unemployment benefits are not the answer, they are a stopgap measure to cushion economic impact on families and individuals. In my opinion, anyone who cannot find some form of work within a year, is simply not trying hard enough, or is unwilling to compromise.
