13. It's easy for somebody to SAY they are against the war,
but whenever Obama has had a chance to vote on it, he supports it. (I think that's right.) I don't blame him, it's just to point out that these things are a little more complicated than we might like them to be. I can easily see how someone can be philisophically opposed to a war (this war especially) and yet feel compelled to cast votes on specific measures that seem contradictory on the surface. In any case, I think placing more value on statements with little consequence than on votes with significant consequence exposes a predisposition to a certain outcome. Just do it!
