"A CORRECTION ABOUT OBAMA

Dear Friend,

My abject apologies!  I was wrong in saying that Senator Barak Obama voted against a ban on spouses working for Senators on their campaign or PAC payrolls. 

Obama voted against tabling the bill, not against the bill itself. He was one of only a handful of Democrats that did so (most Republicans backed the reform). 

The attempt to bring the ban to a vote failed last week, but the Senate adopted it last night.
 
Sometimes its tough to follow the twists and turns of Senate votes and, in this case, I messed up.
 
I'll try to see that it doesn't happen again.
 
I've published a front page apology to Obama in The Hill where the column appeared in a print version.
 
Thanks for reading my columns.  I hope you like them.
 
Yours,
Dick Morris "
