AP falsely suggested Obama said his state Senate records do not "exist at all"
http://mediamatters.org/items/200711150016?f=h_latest

Summary: The Associated Press reported that Sen. Barack Obama "says he can't step up and produce his own records from his days in the Illinois state Senate. He says he hasn't got any." But Obama did not claim that the documents do not exist. In fact, the article quoted Obama saying: "I don't have -- I don't maintain -- a file of eight years of work in the state Senate because I didn't have the resources available to maintain those kinds of records."

1. ALL reporting by AP on Dems is false, or skewed. And I mean ALL
Everyone should refrain from using AP as a legitimate source on politics.

This isn't about one candidate or another... it's about AP> Their political "reporters" are just credulous conduits of opposition research.
