Obama Skips Petraeus Vote

Barack Obama chose not to vote on the GOP's amendment defending Gen. Petraeus from the predations of liberal group MoveOn.org, which ran huge ads calling him General "Betray Us."

Hillary Clinton -- slammed by Rudy Giuliani for not renouncing the ads -- was one of only 25 liberal Dems to vote against the symbolic pro-Petraeus resolution created to "strongly condemn personal attacks" against the general.

Obama's people refused to say how their boss would have voted on the measure. Joe Biden didn't vote either.

Chris Dodd was on the anti-Petraeus side.
