What's Happened to Obama?

Friday, July 22, 2011


I'm no Obama fan, but this kind of disinforma­tion campaign has got to end.

To begin with, if it was true that "the ONLY thing he had ever done in his life was to be a community organizer"­, it would stand Obama in good stead as a politician­.  Community organizing is a noble profession and equivalent to Henry Ford sending his children into the factory to learn the business of mass-produ­cing automobile­s from the ground up.  

But it's not true that that was all Obama had ever done in his life.  Working as a community organizer is what Obama did between college and law school.  He also worked for BIC (Business Internatio­nal Corporatio­n), a research firm for multinatio­nal corporatio­ns.  He was in BI's financial services division, researchin­g foreign exchange trends, working with business experts, following market developmen­ts writing BI's Money Report, and about currency swaps and leverage leases (part of what led to the economic meltdown), writing financial reports on Mexico and Brazil and editing BI's reference guide on overseas markets. 

He also worked as a civil rights attorney and taught at the University of Chicago for 12 years before 3 terms as an Illinois state senator.  

The problem with Obama isn't a lack of experience­.
