Then again, it doesn't matter because he didn't have to make that choice.

"In October 2002, before being elected to the U.S. Senate, Barack Obama made a speech opposing the Bush Administration's plan to go to war in Iraq because he felt it was an ill-conceived venture which would 'require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undermined cost, with undetermined consequences.'
Does that sound like somebody who would've gone along with Hilary voting yes? You can say all you want about how he wasn't there, but the only actual information says that he didn't. He's also pushed for time-tables for a long time now which the Bush administration has even started to agree to in the form of "time horizons" to exit out of Iraq safely.
You can say all you want about experience. I'd rather have a guy who has been right for a few years rather than the guy has continuously voted with the guy who has done the wrong thing for the last 8 years.
