Check out this article on the Lieberman Kyl amendment:
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/09/26/breaking-lieberman-kyls-iran-amendment-passes/
I wrote this on a facebook wall post to one of my Obama supporting friends:
"Zach! I'm pretty disappointed in your boy Obama. He and John McCain were the only Senators who didn't vote on the Lieberman-Kyl amendment, which threatens to “combat, contain and [stop]” Iran via “military instruments.” First of all, he should have voted AGAINST it, but by abstaining he really says that he is just too afraid to vote yes or no because he fears either could be detrimental to his presidential campaign...
I like Obama but I'm really disappointed about this. It seems like he cares more about his poll numbers for his presidential campaign and doesn't really have any principles when it comes to making these decisions. One thing's for sure... he won't be able to abstain if he is President! He would have to make a decision either way, and he didn't do that. Not a very Presidential move I don't think!"
I think abstaining from this really shows Obama's true colors... he is not principled, and is only concerned with winning the white house. Disappointing. Make sure you point this out to your Obama supporting friends.
