Yeah, that was what I had meant to say, that he voted against re-authorizing the Patriot Act.

Obama also introduced the Iraq War de-escalation act, so while he may have not voted on the original resolution he has voted consistently on subsequent anti-war legislation.

Kucinich was my first choice... but he was too far left to have had any real chance.
