A reader writes in to the Blog:
Obama on why he doesn't have any records as a state senator: "I had one staff person, that was what was allocated. I don't have archivists in the state Senate. I don't have the Barack Obama state Senate library available to me, so we had a bunch of file cabinets. I do not have a whole bunch of records from those years." Obama on why he's not responsible for answers to a questionnaire filled out during a run for the state senate. "Sen. Obama didn't fill out these state Senate questionnaires -- a staffer did and there are several answers that didn't reflect his views then or now," Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for Obama's campaign, said in an e-mailed statement. So he was too big an enterprise to fill out a questionnaire or approve its contents but too small to keep his records.
Obviously it couldn't have been "a staffer" that filled out the form, it must have been the staffer.
