In all fairness Barack was not a senator when the Patriot Act and the Authorization to go into Iraq was presented to the senate, he was a part of the filibuster that blocked reauthorization of the Patriot Act.

Dennis Kucinich was the only presidential candidate to vote against the original Patriot Act, Obama was still in the Illinois state senate at the time. He opposed the Iraq war and the Patriot Act.
