Weisman contradicts Milbank's claim that both reporters believe disputed version of Obama's "symbol" quote "was correct as written"

SUMMARY: Discussing a disputed version of a comment Sen. Barack Obama reportedly made during a closed-door meeting with House Democrats, The Washington Post's Jonathan Weisman contradicted colleague Dana Milbank's assertion that both Weisman and Milbank "believe the quote was correct as written, and that this supposed 'context' is a recreation, after-the-fact, by Democratic aides who were worried about how the quote looked." Weisman called his own position "a little more squishy" than Milbank's.
