I know sometimes he gets mixed up.
“I was not aware that I had voted no,” he said that day in June 2002,
asking that the record be changed to reflect that he “intended to vote
yes.”
He is going against his own record again by wanting a crack up on energy speculators
Someone have his handlers remind he voted for Cheney’s bill
Sen. Obama voted for the 2005 Energy Bill, written in secret by Vice President Cheney and the energy lobby. Thomas Friedman referred to the bill as “the sum of all lobbies.” U.S. PIRG noted that the bill’s “heavy tilt toward big oil companies reflects the influence of Exxon Mobil and other oil companies on policy-makers in Washington, DC.”
The Washington Post editorialized that the bill was a “piñata of perks for energy industries.” Indeed, the bill contained $6 billion in subsidies to the oil and gas industry and $12 billion to the nuclear power industry.
Anyway, B0, no need for posturing,, Congress was on this one anyway
As a result, Stupak introduced legislation with the support of two other Democratic Congressmen to close loopholes that allow oil to be traded electronically in unregulated oil markets. The bill would also regulate other methods that Stupak claims oil traders use to avoid federal oversight.

You blog the most idiotic information of any blogger I have ever read and CNN really shouldn’t post your blogs. The Senators can change their votes after they have re-examined the facts. They may also listen to arguments that sway their decisions and change their votes. You may have a dislike for someone but don’t blog halve truthes. Those who know better will only call you out and make you look stupid. Those who don’t may believe you but you will only be influencing an uneducated person who doesn’t do research for themselves which makes you a left wing slime contributor, you should be ashamed of yourself. Jerk!!!!

CNN is posting my blogs? All righty then!
And FYI, senators should examine the facts thoroughly before they make their votes – the facts on this didn’t change – it was wrong for Obama to vote for the Cheney’s energy bill!
