204. Interesting "facts." I don't pick presidents on race or
gender. Then I look at the facts:  1. She voted against Cheney's
energy bill and Obama voted for it. (6 billion in subsidies for
oil companies.)  Yup - bad vote.  2. He has consistently voted
to fund the war the entire time he has been in the Senate.
(anti-war?)  So did she. I can respect someone believing that
de-funding the war and giving the president the opportunity to
let my best friend rot in Iraq without support might not be the
best way to get our troops home. So I won't penalize either
candidate for it too much. However, what he didn't do was vote
for the IWR. She did. Period.
