ABC NEWS: 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.

Good thing they made sure word didn’t get out, then. Oh, wait . . . .

UPDATE: McCain goes after Obama on this and on his Fannie Mae contributions.

Plus, hanging out with ordinary folks!

ANOTHER UPDATE: The best Congress Fannie could buy.
