Today in the Senate, Obama and Hillary apparently waited until after enough yea votes (60 ) were cast before they voted on the Iraq Supplemental funding bill. Obama voted nay when it no longer counted. Hillary may have done the same. If the Democrats are this cowardly in standing up to Bush when 60%-70% of the country is behind the Dems, and cannot counter a phony GOP "support the troops" or "we have to fight 'them' over there so 'they' don't follow us home" framing of language, then they have no business leading the people's Congress.
