....Illinois Review, a conservative blog, recently unearthed Illinois Senate records showing that then-state Senator Obama voted for and even co-sponsored a 2004 bill that expanded the protection of the state's 1961 stand-your-ground law to include immunity from civil liability for people who use deadly force to defend themselves or their property. The bill wasn't controversial in the liberal legislature, passing the Senate without dissent and the state House with only two nays before then-Governor Rod Blagojevich, also a Democrat, signed it.

10 bucks says the Obama wasn't even present for the committee meetings. The RATS in Chicago were just trying to get his name on bills. Absentee State Senator, Absentee US Senator, Absentee President.

I’m sure the democrat voters supported it as much then as they are against it now.
They have no fundamental principles.
They just go with what feels right at the moment and what their leaders have chosen as the current hot topic.

He doesn't know that he voted that way, I'd bet his paycheck on it.

A Senator's agenda
is different than a president's agenda
especially if it involves spreading the wealth
and spreading the misery !
