It is sad that our country is still so torn with ignorance

Don't you just love how some paranoids around here post ridiculous rants with outright lies and distortions, then just disappear. Obama freaking voted NO on the Iraq War, yet these haters want to paint him as some militant who wants to take over the world. Surely he would have supported pre-emptive war in Iraq if he was a militant!

Sorry BB, he did not vote against the war in Iraq as he was not in congress when the start of hostilities began. Maybe he voted against funding in the 2 years he was in congress.

Well, that's true. Obama wasn't in Congress in 2003. He made a now famous speech against the war at a rally in Chicago.

Now he did vote against the funding in a bill that didn't include a time table for troop withrdrawl. But so did Hillary Clinton, as it was a closely watched vote during their heated battle for the nomination.

I'll never forget that vote because it sent a "cold chill" down Cindy McCain's spine.....at least, that's what she said on the stump with her husband. I remember that statement clearly because of (1) she melodramatic delivery and (2) that was like the first and last McCain's campaign let her speak publically.

And for those of y'all wonderin', why yes, I do have far too much time on my hands.
