But I could've sworn that I just somewhere ... <BR/><BR/>If I'm going to be wrong about something, I'm glad it's this. When Dodd dropped out, I thought I read that Dodd opposed bankruptcy reform despite a banking-heavy state, but that Obama supported it. I guess this makes Obama's worst vote his support for the class action reform act, unless I'm wrong and he didn't support that either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11661639.post-82931231259636968642008-01-10T15:07:00.000-05:002008-01-10T15:07:00.000-05:00I was shocked to read that comment about the Bankr...I was shocked to read that comment about the Bankruptcy Bill, so I went back to check it out (because if Obama HAD supported it, I would consider that reason alone to not support him). Fortunately, both he and Clinton opposed the Bankruptcy Bill (Clinton for some reason didn't vote on final passage, while Obama did and voted "Nay", but on the Bankruptcy Bill, the cloture vote was the ballgame, and Clinton and Obama both voted "Nay" on the cloture vote.)<BR/><BR/>It should be pointed out, however, that one candidate discussed lately did support the Bankruptcy Bill, voting "Aye" on both the cloture vote and final passage...John McCain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11661639.post-6403255415162834692008-01-09T14:11:00.000-05:002008-01-09T14:11:00.000-05:00Correct.

Let's remember that this guy is not exactly innocent of my least favorite thing about Democratic leaders, a tendency to just repeat bullshit Republican talking points in order to sound "serious" (in Obama's case, after talking about the desperate need for Social Security "reform" and unnecessary attacks on trial lawyers, we should be hearing from him any day about how the free market will solve global warming and that unions are hurting American workers).<BR/><BR/>I've already been in one discussion with a Republican where I got "Even Democrat (sic) golden boy Barack Obama thinks Social Security is in crisis" thrown in my face.
