Sorry, no cigar

Obama tries to play the woulda voted card on the Kyl-Lieberman Amendment begging - in a non-binding way, of course - Commander Guy to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guard a terrorist group. A mess of Bush-enabling Dems joined the Rs in voting for this thing, including Hillary. (I thought her husband was Bush Lite when he came on the scene and I think she is too. Bush Lite. Goes down easier but gets you to the same place.)

But Obama, who was off at a fundraiser or whatever, says (actually, Obama's handlers say):

He believes that diplomacy and economic pressure, such as the divestment bill that he has proposed, is the right way to pressure the Iranian regime. Accordingly, he would have opposed the Kyl-Lieberman amendment had he been able to vote today."


Sorry, Senator. You vote or you don't. Woulda doesn't count.
