Obama and Hillary flip flop on war bill

Rather than showing stength and leadership--scroll down to the Sanity Squad post on that topic, Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton voted against the war funding bill that President Bush will sign tomorrow.

Both senators went back on their promise not to withhold funding for our troops in Iraq.

Rudy Giuliani phrased it well, saying, "They've gone from an anti-war position to an anti-military, anti-troops position."

But John McCain hit a home run with his comment, "This vote may win favor with MoveOn and liberal primary voters, but it's the equivalent of waving a white flag to al-Qaida."

Clearly Obama and HRC are trying to buff up their anti-war credentials for the netroots.

To show how far the pair positioned themselves on this bill, my other senator, Dick Durbin, voted for it.
