Why doesn't someone somewhere scream:
"OBAMA DID NOT VOTE AGAINST THE WAR!" Obama was not in the US Senate at the time to cast a vote. Only a state senator. Many people to this day still assume Obama voted.
+ The US Senate vote was in 2002.
+ Obama was not elected into the US Senate until 2004.
Wish the media would clarify this. Obama's entire campaign is based on this illusion: "I opposed the war! Hillary voted to go into Iraq! John McCain voted for the war! I had the good judgement not to go into Iraq!" Doesn't this declaration suggest he also voted? Very misleading.
