Obama did vote.

this article from media matters displays another example of false reporting. The Washington Times reported a Sen. Lindsay Graham saying Obama did not vote on a resolution condemning MoveOn.org's "General Betray Us" ad. The article failed to mention that Obama in fact did vote for a separate amendment condemning the ad, one that Graham voted against. This amendment also condemned attacks on any member who served in the armed forces. My question here.. and it always is, why not report the facts? I dont see the point in only giving the small amounts of information, when the truth is so easily available to find out. And it just ruins the credibility of the papers, to an extent. I mean I know some newspapers do lean a certain way, but it when reporting on a candidate, at least give the right information, especially when there is no "gotcha" news here. I mean the story is not very strong, considering Obama did in fact vote for an amendment condemning the ad as well as any other attacks on Us Armed Forces. An amenment Graham did not vote for.. Now maybe that should be the story.
