I guess this will get reported as a distraction, a smear or somehow an attack on Obama’s family:

In a new 60-second ad set to start running in 18 states on Friday, Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign cites Public Law 110-181 when he talks about his efforts to extend “health care for wounded troops who’d been neglected.” While the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee authored provisions that ultimately made it into the law, he did not vote for its passage on Jan. 22, when he was busy campaigning in advance of the South Carolina primary. But neither did Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee. He was also busy campaigning when the vote was taken on the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008. The bill, H.R. 4986, was easily passed without either man’s vote.
