Being in the 90th percentile is not the same as 90% of the time, asshat.
When Hilary was campaigning against Obama, she claimed he voted present around 129 times. That was out of roughly 4000 votes he cast.
That huge spike you see in 2007/2008--ya' think his being on the campaign trail at the time might have had anything to do with that?
ETA: your chart doesn't differentiate between "present" votes and just missing the roll call altogether (actually I would assume your chart doesn't even include the present votes). Two entirely different things.
