Report: Both Obama And Clinton Embellished Senate Roles

The Washington Post reports that as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton compete over who is more qualified to be president, both are being accused by Senate colleagues of building up their accomplishments a little too much beyond what's actually deserved.

Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) says that Obama has tried to put his name up as a key backer of the failed immigration bill from 2006 and 2007, when in reality all he did was attend some press conferences and sit in on meeting.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is coming under fire from political opponents for claiming that she was a main force behind establishing the SCHIP program in the 90s, and for supposedly taking a lead role in major international incidents during her husband's administration.
