That's how i feel about Obama's "against IWR" campaign platform.

He really cannot claim to have that positon cornered, because even he admitted he did not know how he would have voted if he had actually been in the senate. And he gives john kerry a pass on it, saying bush and admin were liars, so who could blame him.

Then add to that he voted for funding the war over and over again. So I think that how he uses that in his campaign as having great judgement is disingenuous. His actions speak louder than his words.

1. 'I'm not privy to Senate intelligence reports. ... What would I have done? I don't know,' and a
no show for Kyl-Lieberman. Couldn't even bother to show up, but then again he has missed over 16% of votes since becoming Senator. Campaigning is hard work!
