As well as the Democrat party being synonymous with war at the time.

Point is, if you vote for Obama and he wins, at least pledge to accurately assess what he does, as opposed to allowing your vote to be some shallow, emotional release you will return to 4 years from now and duplicate, even if he has made things worse.
