If that was an on-topic, honest question, I'd point out that voting against the (at the time) very popular "go to war in Iraq" was done by Obama at the very start.
In that case, 29 out of the 50 Senate Democrats voted for it, and it was an extremely popular measure at the time. As it happens, it gave the permission to use force to a President who was prepared to go to war based on lies and deception.
And Obama is pretty open about making that vote.
