Hillary's BullSCHIP

Looks like another example of Gore-like resume enhancement from the Clinton campaign:

Revisionist History?

Congressional lawmakers, staffers and health care advocates are accusing Hillary Clinton of exaggerating her role in developing the children's health insurance plan known as SCHIP.

The program started during her husband's presidency. Sen. Clinton frequently refers to the program as something "I helped start."

But the Boston Globe reports the senators who spearheaded the initiative apparently do not remember it that way. Co-sponsor Orrin Hatch said, "the White House wasn't for it... she may have done some advocacy over at the White House, but I'm not aware of it... Does she deserve credit for SCHIP? No — Teddy (Kennedy) does, but she doesn't."

Sen. Kennedy when asked about Clinton's role — shrugged and said, "Facts are stubborn things. I think we ought to stay with the facts."

Also causing hard feelings: The fact that Clinton skipped a Senate vote to extend the SCHIP program last November.

This could be another blow to Clinton's chances, except that Obama is currently self-destructing over his blowhard pastor.
