I'm a liberal and not an Obama fan (he's not a liberal), but this disinforma
tion campaign has got to end.
To begin with, if it was true that "the ONLY thing Obama had ever done in his life was to have been 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-produ
cing automobile
s 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 Internatio
nal Corporatio
n), a research firm for multinatio
nal corporatio
ns. He was in BI's financial services division, researchin
g foreign exchange trends, working with business experts, following market developmen
ts 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
