Poll question: Should OBAMA Apologize in 3 years, or can he simply refuse to back down on his NON-Vote on Iran?
It was a non-vote on a non binding resolution.....which OBama didn't vote on.

So what should he do to shut up his critics in reference to that non-vote?

18. Please provide the quote, and the link......
Meanwhile I'll go and dig up Edwards' kiss ass comments about Sharom, and his own statement on IRAN made in January of 2007 at the big conference in Israel.

Ready, set....GO!

5. Obama already called it a mistake for not coming back to vote on it.
What more do they want, blood?

24. I hear ya
I feel great about Obama's chances today, But I am still not convinced we have it in the bag yet. Another state down though sure will feel good!

Keep up the good work!

11. But then, we'll have to hear it from all of those GOP members
that actually voted FOR it.

He will have to explain why he didn't vote on a Non-Binding resolution then! :rofl:

I doubt it too.....
which makes his non-vote a non-issue.

14. Must have been so fast, no one has seen it........
maybe he should have let it fester for years........during which time he should rationalize not voting for a non-issue.

15. Yes, he should apologize for missing the vote
when his vote wouldn't have made a difference, while issuing a statement against the bill, in three years time.

17. Yes...I think that three years is acceptable........
and in fact, any vote he made should not ever be mentioned after 4 years. I believe that is the standard!

19. He doesn't have to do anything,
but his absence doesn't give him an excuse to attack those who did show up to vote, particularly since he was on board for essentially the same bill last March.

21. If your candidate sponsored a war, I'd stay away from the subject - the rope, the glass
house and all that...
I am not happy about the non-vote myself, but when I see who is objecting here, it's beyond chutzpa.
