Obama Takes Credit for Creation of Stimulus Package

[Wretched Excess]

I knew this was a lie the second I saw it;  The BarackStar! wasn't present in the senate enough
to have accomplished anything.

Obama Inflates Role in Creation of Stimulus Package

In Golden, Colo., today, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., took credit for the stimulus package that passed earlier this year.

"In January, I outlined a plan to help revive our faltering economy," Obama said, "which formed the basis for a bipartisan stimulus package that passed the Congress."

Is that true?

Democrats on Capitol Hill who support Obama say no.

Wanting Obama to win, however, none will say so on the record.

In Vienna, Ohio, this afternoon, McCain said that Obama today "claimed that the Congressional stimulus package was his idea. That’s news to those of us in Congress who supported it. Senator Obama didn’t even show up to vote."

that's how he made it to the big leagues.  the leader of the illinois state senate put barack obama's name on every meaningful (or even slightly meaningful) piece of legislation that moved through the state legislature for years because he wanted to "make a senator". so, BHO can perhaps be forgiven for thinking that hijacking the accomplishments of others is standard procedure.

and it makes sense when you think about it.  he doesn't have any actual accomplishments to run on, so he has to manufacture them.
