Question

Which presidential candidate is a co-sponsor of the Combating Autism Act of 2006? Obama or McCain?

Answer 1

If it was Obama I'm sure all he did was sign his name to someone elses bill like he always does

Answer 2

Neither.

It was co-sponsored by Rick Santorum and Chris Dodd.  Subsequently signed into law by George Bush.

Answer 3

Neither of them.  But both of them supported it--I don't think anyone disapproved of an anti-autism bill if that is what you are getting at.

Answer 4

The bill was introduced in the Senate by Senators Rick Santorum, R-PA and Christopher Dodd, D-CT and passed the upper chamber unanimously in August 2006.

The House version, H.R. 2421, was introduced by Congresswomen Mary Bono, R-CA and Diana DeGette, D-CO and was passed by the lower chamber on December 6, 2006.

Answer 5

Actually it was Ted Kennedy.

McDick was a co-sponsor, Obama was also a sponsor.
