Which was easy to do when you are not in Congress at the time and, therefore, there is no real ramifications of your vote.
Moreover, his vote against the surge will look unwise. I get that the need for the surge was entirely W's fault for not having enough troops there to begin with, as many if not most of his advisors advised him from the beginning. But, the surge was needed and it worked for the most part. Now, there appears to be a plan for withdrawal. All of this deflates Obama's platform here and makes him look unready to be the Pres.
I know you are totally against the war in Iraq. But, in terms of the election, many people want America to emerge as some sort of winner, which the current proposal allows, and with merit to the declaration.
