7. You are thankful that they waited to vote until it was sure Bush got his funds?

The vote opened

Enough votes were made to ensure the bill was passed

Obama quietly enters the room, votes no and quickly leaves.

Clinton does the same a couple minutes later.

They were able to vote no only on the back of other Senators. They stayed away and stayed quiet until it was sure others did the dirty work and they could politically say "hey I voted No" . Bull. I am positive they would have voted Yes if Bush did not have the votes he needed and needed two more.
