Why is that important? Because Clinton claims that after Obama became a U.S. Senator, she was initially more outspoken against the war than he was.

The truth is that in February, Clinton went to Iraq with John McCain, and declared that we were defeating the insurgency.

But in January, Obama was challenging the Bush Administration.

2. He had been senator all of 2 weeks when he did this. Sounded presidential even then.
Fucking awesome.

Really should be watched.
