The Washington Times reports that though Senator Obama raised his hand in a 2007 debate to declare that he was against the decriminalization of pot, the candidate actually has supported that position in the past and continues to support it. His campaign now says Obama mistakenly raised his hand during the debate.

Interestingly enough Obama’s mistaken vote is reminiscent of his time in the Illinois Senate when Obama reportedly voted wrong six times saying he would vote one way, actually voted a different way and then clarified his position by saying he hit the wrong button.

Obama’s position appears to be that he favors decriminalizing marijuana but not legalizing it.
