RWE, I think to hit Sen. Obama on his Senate Banking Committee misstatement is really unfair. He has not spent that much time in the Senate. Suppose you got a job, worked it for a few months, and then went on sick leave for three years. Are you going to remember every little thing you did there? Especially when it was a small part of your life to begin with — merely a means to other ends?

And more to the point, isn’t the Senate Banking Committee his? And yours? And mine? And every American’s Senate Banking Committee?
