Following the visit of BHO, The Jerusalem Post printed a great editorial:
The audacity of resume-padding (or, why Obama makes things up)
Abraham Katsman and Kory Bardash , THE JERUSALEM POST
Highlights:
...his résumé is, so to speak, paper-thin.
...has held some major job titles which are noteworthy...yet, in spite of these prestigious positions, Obama has increasingly resorted to making claims of accomplishment that are so patently inflated even his cheerleaders at CNN and the New York Times are taking notice.
...has spent years coasting on charisma without doing any heavy work.
...he pads his résumé--stretching the truth here, stealing credit there, and creating the illusion of achievement.
...told that Obama "passed laws" that "extended healthcare for wounded troops"...The 2008 Defense Authorization Bill, which passed by a 91-3 vote...six Senators did not vote-including Obama.
...his claim of "twenty years of public service"...the numbers don't add up.
...completed over half a Senate term, yet, is there even one signature issue he has taken hold of other than his own presidential run?
...he's treated his offices as if they were high school student council positions-fun to run for, fun to win, affirmations of popularity, heady recognition from superiors, good resume-builders.
