Why has Obama never explained his about face on Iraq war votes?
I've watched Obama dozens of time bash Hillary because she voted for the IWR when he wasn't yet elected and did not have to vote. And he definitely does not appear to want voters to know he voted against his own party when they were trying to defund the war, and introduce a timetable for withdrawal.

A challenge for Obama supporters:

1. When has Obama ever been asked to explain why he suddenly did an about face on his campaign promise to stand with dems to repeal the patriot act? If you can find an instance, what was his excuse?

2. When has Obama ever been asked to explain, if he was "always" been against the war as he now claims, he voted against his own party's attempts to defund the war, and against timetables for withdrawal, then suddenly took the opposite position once he decided to run as the anti-war candidate. What changed all the sudden that would account for his flip flop on this? I have never seen the media ask him this, nor have I ever heard him explain it.

Any Obama supporters even care? LOL! I mean you hate Hillary because she voted for the IWR, but you don't care that your candidate was right with her from the day he entered the senate until the day he decided to run for president?
