WASHINGTON - In May 1998, at the urging of the state's coal industry, the Illinois Legislature passed a bill condemning the Kyoto global warming treaty and forbidding state efforts to regulate greenhouse gases.
Barack Obama voted "aye."
The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee now calls climate change "one of the greatest moral challenges of our generation," and proposes cutting carbon emissions 80 percent by 2050.

I lost track of all the flip flops.
There, fixed.
Is that like "flip flop"?
Larry Craig stance?
One of the few times state senator Obama didn’t wimp out with his habitual vote of “Present”?
Or Larry Sinclair stance...
I heard he stopped smoking, then started again. Does anyone know?
O’Bama is an attorney. He will argue for whoever hires him. $52 million a month has hired him.
Yes, he still smokes. The media won’t show it, though.
I’ll bet he wishes he could retract the”aye” and replace it with “present”....
Or Larry Sinclair stance...
Both Larry's. Both have similar police interviews as well:
Officer: What State are you from, Senator?
Larry Craig: Idaho.
Officer: Are you a male prostitute, Mr. Sinclair?
Larry Sinclair: Yes, I da ho.
There are no coincidences.
Warn a body before you read that NOT to have a mouthful of soda!
