Total Obama votes in the IL. Legislator 4000, Total dead Americans in Iraq 3931.
Obama hitting the wrong button and correcting the record: .00125%
Making the wrong decision on a war that should have never been authorized: 1

The difference: 3931 dead Americans, 100,000 dead Iraqis

4. As opposed to Clinton, who voted for the war in the first place?
But I'm sure she's really, really sorry about it. Or was just confused at the time. Or something.

7. No there is.
Clinton was one of the Senates that let Bush get us into the mess.

Show me some evidence that she would not show poor judgment were she to be elected President.

8. There's a huge difference
Back in 2002, Obama knew the war was a mistake. A bunch of other senators knew it was a mistake. I knew it. Everyone else at DU knew it.

But Clinton had no idea. And you trust her to be commander in chief?

11. To support the troops.
Would you rather he didn't give them support?

12. Getting out of a idiotic war
is much harder than getting into it.

Why did Clinton vote for the IWR?

10. Big fucking difference you dummy.
Intelligent, anti-war legislators like Obama would have never started the war.

Pro-war legislators like Hillary voted to start it.

And, Obama was funding the troops when voting for funding; not voting for the war.
