Barack Obama: Résumé padder

Jennifer Rubin at Pajamas Media gets the work week off to a good start by pointing out that Barack Obama--the man with few accomplishments other than getting himself elected--is doing what many job seekers do when seeking a plum job--pad your résumé.

Below is just one instance. Click on the link to find more.

Barack Obama has a solution to his lack of accomplishment and experience: pad his résumé. If résumé fraud were a crime, Obama would be looking at fifteen to life. And it is not just an isolated incident or two. He is a repeat offender.

Obama started early. Even the New York Times acknowledges that in his book Dreams From My Father Obama accomplished little as a "community organizer." ("It is clear that the benefit of those years to Mr. Obama dwarfs what he accomplished.") But he did manage to steal credit for asbestos testing and removal in the Altgeld Gardens, a public housing project in Chicago. But he didn't quite tell the whole story. The Times writes:

What Mr. Obama does not mention in his book is that residents of the nearby Ida B. Wells housing project, and some at Altgeld itself, had already been challenging the housing authority on asbestos. A local newspaper had also taken up the issue.

Let's hope Obama's sycophants in the mainstream media take notice of Rubin's article.
