Reply #11: You don't think this will be brought up during the GE?

The MSM and the GOP haven't done anything with this so far, but it would be naive to think they won't use it. This is the sort of story the Clintons were talking about when they mentioned October surprises, and the advantages of Hillary having been vetted already by all the scrutiny and attacks.

I'm also wondering what Obama fans think of his going along with the bill-jacking, with Emil Jones making sure Obama got the credit for bills other state senators had been working on for a long time, in some cases for years. The bill-jacking allowed Obama to point to an astonishingly successful record, when in fact his mentor and political godfather, the senate president, simply gave him the credit.

I hope Obama will bring a new style to politics. I just don't understand why he, personally, would have been comfortable with letting Jones do this when both of them knew other state senators had done almost all the work, while the glory and recognition were being given to Obama, quite deliberately, to make him a political star.
