Obama Runs from Liberal Record in Debate

Some of the other votes the National Journal ranked Obama on that he did not mention included his votes: to support tax hikes, to require a study of global warming effects for federal water projects, to allow union organizers to bypass secret balloting processes to organize workplaces, to mandate increased vehicle fuel efficiency standards, permit “sanctuary city” policies, against making English the official language of the United States, against defining a fetus as an “unborn child,” against renewing President Bush’s terrorist monitoring program, to support voting rights for the District of Columbia and to cut funding and withdraw troops from Iraq according to a set date.
