Not that I want to be a stickler for details, but in 2002 Barack Obama was a
State Senator from Illinois. He was elected to the United States Senate in November 2004 with 70% support. While he was an early opponent of the proposed 2003 Invasion of Iraq, he was in no way involved in any sort of federal congressional decision-making. He was against the proposed invasion as a member of the Illinois State Senate and therefore was not involved in any sort of "vote" unlike the current Secretary of State Mrs. Clinton.
