Obama has been a US Sen. for THREE years, not 1, not 2
GAH! I'm getting so frustrated with people (who should know better) incorrectly reporting how much time Obama has been in the Senate. I'm listening to today's Thom Hartmann show on 3 hour delay and he just said that Hilary has a full term more time in the Senate than Obama. But she actually only has FOUR years more, not SIX.
Bill Clinton on the Charlie Rose show kept saying Obama began running when he had only been in the Senate ONE year, but Obama announced his over a month into his THIRD YEAR.
And NPR's Juan Williams on FOX News' Sunday show said Obama has only been a Senator for two years, but he passed his third anniversary in the Senate last week.
Fine, he is still in his first term, but don't exaggerate how 'little' time he has spent in Washington.
