The dog ate his homework... uh... vote

Barack Obama angered fellow Democrats in the Illinois Senate when he voted to strip millions of dollars from a child welfare office on Chicago's West Side. But Obama had a ready explanation: He goofed.

"I was not aware that I had voted no," he said that day in June 2002, asking that the record be changed to reflect that he "intended to vote yes."


And then....? and then....?

Of those, according to transcripts of the proceedings in Springfield, he hit the wrong button at least six times
.

Anybody besides me thinking of nuclear trigger buttons???
