Iran so far away from voting (Obama)
In a CNN.com article entitled “Iran becoming new Iraq on campaign trail”Obama was quoted as saying:
The senator from Illinois added that unfortunately, the Kyl-Lieberman amendment made the case for President Bush that we need to use our military presence in Iraq to counter Iran — a case that has nothing to do with sanctioning the Revolutionary Guard.”
The Kyl-Lieberman amendment passed 76-22 in the Senate last month. It calls, in part, for the Revolutionary Guard to be designated a terrorist organization. While Obama opposes the legislation, he was campaigning when the full Senate took up the bill and missed the vote.
So let me get this straight Obama, this amendment which you oppose, brings us closer to action against Iran (essentially labeling it as a terrorist state) and makes a case for long-term military presence in Iraq to counter the Iranian “threat”. This seems like an important amendment, and yet you were too fucking busy campaigning to vote against it even though you oppose it. Obama is the same asshole who goes after the voting records of his opponents on the campaign trail while he has the luxury of not having a voting record. Obama = tool.

These campaigning senators fly all over everywhere, so it wouldn’t be an inconvenience to fly in to D.C. once in a while to vote. Maybe if there were some more public outrage like yours, they would get their heads out of their asses.
