Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., seemed to exaggerate the legislative progress he has made on disclosure of “bundlers,” those individuals who aggregate their influence with the candidate they support by collecting $2,300 checks from a wide network of wealthy friends and associates.

When former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel alleged that Obama had 134 bundlers, Obama responded by telling Gravel that the reason he knows how many bundlers are raising money for him is “because I helped push through a law this past session to disclose that.”

The article goes on to say that Obama supported an amendment in the Senate “requiring lobbyists to disclose the candidates, leadership PACs, or political parties for whom they bundle” however that amendment was never turned into law as Obama suggested. The reason we know the names of Obama’s bundlers is because he has volunteered them, not because of a law enacted that he created.
