21. You seem to be following the Hillary talking point of the day, but in this case it is BS
Obama spoke out AGAINST the war during a time where it was an unpopular position to make. He could have been silent, as you imply. But fact of the matter he opened his mouth and let his views be heard. Again, at a time when the war was popular, and opposition to the war was considered politically risky.

With Kyl-Lieberman, Obama also made his views known in advance, and the vote was, by the way, rescheduled so he could not attend. Hillary folks I think enjoy cheap shots. They make them a lot, anyhow.

So there is a stark contrast between a candidate who spoke out, making an unpopular position about opposing Iraq and Hillary's compliance with the Bush rush to war.

By the way, could you name a war Hillary has spoken out AGAINST....EVER? EVER? EVER?
