Response from Obama Campaign to WashPost Op-Ed
From Obama spokesman Bill Burton:
You may have seen the op-ed in the Washington Post this morning
that incorrectly states that Obama voted for the bankruptcy bill. If
you check out the vote and his floor statement at the time, you'll see
that he not only opposed it but also spoke in very forceful terms about
the problems he had with it, earning the praise of Senator Ted Kennedy.
