ChinuSFO The wording is taken from Obama's comment as posted here. "The focus of the United States Senate should be on ending this war, not on criticizing newspaper advertisements," Obama says. "This amendment was a stunt designed only to score cheap political points while what we should be doing is focusing on the deadly serious challenge we face in Iraq. It's precisely this kind of political game-playing that makes most Americans cynical about Washington's ability to solve America's problems. By not casting a vote, I registered my protest against this empty politics. I registered my views on the ad itself the day it appeared." When I read this I wondered why it would have been an amendment and an amendment to what bill rather than a resolution. Now that you raise the question, let's find out. mj
