I am not sure if the bill itself really has much weight against Obama. Obama proposed a bill in 2006 himself after all, and he introduced it. McCain just cosponsored the 2005 bill.
But, the fact McCain was aware of of the problem before Obama, even if just a year or six months, is a big deal, as well as the contributions Obama got from them.
Link please... osamabama never sponsored any bill in the senate... never wrote a bill... only co-sponsored. O’Reilly 9/17/08
