Barack Obama's first general election ad says, about 46 seconds in, that the Illinois senator passed laws that "extended health care for wounded troops who'd been neglected." The ad "Country I Love", which was released Friday, provides a citation at the bottom of the screen which reads "Public Law 110 - 181."
As Hume notes, Senator Obama never voted for that legislation. Public Law 110 - 181 is part of the defense authorization bill. The bill passed by a vote of 91 to three with six senators not voting. Barack Obama was one of those six absent senators.
The old B-School prof says lying on your resume' is shoddy practice favored by con artists and losers - those with very scanty accomplishments. Yes...scanty accomplishments indeed.
