Obey Takes Credit for Other's Work

Here's a story on Obey's Park Falls visit.

"The Park Falls Mill is an important part of the region's economy and I'm happy to be here today to celebrate its reopening with everyone," said Obey. "The entire community came together in the face of a devastating economic blow and did what needed to be done to overcome adversity and move forward. Everyone involved - from Governor Doyle and Butch Johnson to the workers themselves - deserve a hearty congratulations for a job well done."

Notice in no way does Obey say he lifted one finger to make this re-opening a reality. Yet, his appearance at the event makes it look like he was responsible. His friends in the media made him the lead of the story.

The media won't print anything about Obey not being on the job and missing 34 votes, but they'll give him this puff piece.

Spread the word, it's time to throw Obey Out.

[UPDATE: This story is a lot closer to getting it right. It largely credits Butch Johnson for stepping in and saving the plant. By the way, we hear Johnson may be hosting a fundraiser for Nick Reid . . .]
