Yes it is true.
As reported on HughHewitt.com.

If any of you have any inkling of what kind of presidential timber Illinois Senate Barack Obama possesses, all you have to do is look at this vote. The Cornyn vote was called, Obama came to the floor, and when he discovered what the vote was for, he left the floor and didn’t cast a vote. He literally ran away from merely casting a vote to support our top military general in the field. But that’s not even the most telling moment of the vote.

Reid, Levin, Menendez, Clinton, etc etc...the usual suspects.

Get a load of this, Dingy. 26 members of your own party are against you on this. Ditch the surrender amendments, would ya? The surge is working whether you like it or not!

I automatically assumed that Teddy the Swimmer and John F’n Kerry had voted against it, and I was right.

I’ve felt the exact same way about Ted Kennedy for the last few decades.

I called my Senator, Brown, they told me he voted on free speech grounds. So..I guess that means we can count on him voting no on the fairness doctrine..right? right? What? you mean he will only support free speech for liberals. I AM SHOCKED!!!!!!! Mike DeWine...we are sorry

By a vote of 72-25 (3 not-voting), the Senate passed the Cornyn Amendment that strongly condemns any effort to attack the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

It's a sad day, folks, when legislation has to be drawn up to minimize the slamming of our military heroes by our own politicians.

This whole business makes me want to puke.
