As David Freddoso reports at NRO, Obama said, in a remarkable incident in the Illinois Senate in 2002:

“I understand Senator Hendon’s anger. Actually, it turns—the, uh—I was not aware that I had voted ‘No’ on that last piece of legislation. I would have the Record record that I intended to vote ‘Yes.’”

Ben W., who sent the item, comments:

Reconciliator, transcendentalist, redistributor, dialectician, not red or blue but American, both white and black, unifier—O is the yin and yang, the particular and the universal. Why would anybody NOT vote for him?
