The "Greatest Story Ever Sold" series intends to look into the distortions, exaggerations and falsehoods in Barack Obama's past. Yes, he was born in Hawaii and is a citizen, but he has not been properly vetted, by any means. His personal story is in many ways a mystery, and in too many ways, it's "made up". Get to know the real President of the United States.
Aside from being a community organizer, State Senator, Senator and now President, how much do you know about the President's professional background? The answer is, not much, unless you delve into the oft-exaggerated pages of his biographies and accounts from the people who "knew him when". Hot Air shares some stories from Obama's short-lived career in international business. Some excerpts from various news stories:
Obama spent very little time in business, but he did have a job at a company called Business International for about a year after he graduated from Columbia University in 1983. The book contains new details about the future president’s brief stint in corporate America.Can you imagine, the candidate who attacks his opponent as a "pioneer of outsourcing" working at a firm that prepared briefs for companies looking to outsource. As someone who has left a job because of ideological differences and taken the hit of losing a paycheck, I can attest to how hard it is, but how true believers know what must be done. What's incredibly interesting, however, is how Obama misrepresented his own job:Obama was a low-level editor in Reference Services, working on reports describing economic conditions in various foreign countries. By all accounts, he disliked the work, not just because it was pedestrian and boring, but because it was in business.
“He calls it working for the enemy,” Obama’s mother, Ann, wrote after a phone conversation with her son, “because some of the reports are written for commercial firms that want to invest in [Third World] countries.”
In his book Obama described B.I. as a ‘consulting house’ to multinational corporations. ‘I had my own office, my own secretary, money in the bank,’ he wrote. ‘Sometimes, coming out of an interview with Japanese financiers or German bond traders, I would catch my reflection in the elevator doors – see myself in a suit and tie, a briefcase in my hand – and for a split second, I would imagine myself as a captain of industry, barking out orders, closing the deal, before I remembered who it was that I wanted to be and felt pangs of guilt for my lack of resolve.’ It was an exaggeration to define B.I. as a consulting house. One of his former colleagues described it as ‘a small company that published newsletters on international business. . . . It was a bit of a sweatshop. . . . Sure we all wished we were high-priced consultants to internationals.’ Another called it ‘high school with ashtrays.’ Obama’s office was the size of a cubicle, barely large enough to fit a desk, and faced an interior hallway; he had no secretary, and the dress code was informal; people in his position rarely if ever wore suits.So not only did the President not leave a job he felt was "the enemy", but he went as far as to exaggerate his role in the enemy's camp and give himself a factitious secretary, fabricate his job duties and overemphasize his business attire when it's obvious from accounts of B.I. employees that it wasn't that formal. Was the passage in Obama's book intended to make us think he spent time in the evil private sector and felt it too disgusting to stay there? No wonder the man demonizes business. He was a glorified copywriter and had to stroke his own ego while at the same time villifying his employer.
I look forward to sharing with you the long list of exaggerations, ironies and hypocrisies in Obama's background. If only we knew more.
Just a correction after reading the first paragraph:
There is nobody in this country who can LEGALLY say that Obama was born in Hawaii and here’s why:
HI State Registrar, Alvin Onaka, indirectly confirmed to AZ SOS Mark Bennett that the birth record HI has for Obama is not legally valid.
That means there are NO legally-substantiated birth facts for Obama and never will be unless and until he either produces a legally valid BC from somewhere else (in which case it is known he was NOT born in Hawaii), or submits his non-valid HI BC as evidence to a judicial or administrative person or body which will determine the probative value of the record based on legal evidentiary standards. That’s according to Hawaii statute.
When he no longer works for the American people, he will still regard us as the enemy.
Recalling Jack Kemp’s Cameo in ‘Dreams From My Father’
Obama wrote about an interview at about this time with a civil rights leader who mentions having dinner with "Jack," the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
The African-American leader is set up as a tempter, trying to lure young Barack away from his commitment to "social justice."
The problem is that this would have been 1983 (or possibly 1987, Obama fudges the time-line so much), and Kemp didn't enter the cabinet until 1989.
Apparently, nobody caught this until Kemp died after Obama had been elected.
It is very clear that he still regards the majority of Americans as his enemy, which he tolerates only because they supply the money for his constituancy.
Obama also considers his current employer the enemy.
Your post is spot-on.
Nothing is going to change because of where he was born, or whether he’s a citizen. The only way to get rid of the bastard is to vote for Mitt Romney in November. Period.
“Bastard” is right, as his parents of record never married.
“He calls it working for the enemy,” Obama’s mother, Ann, wrote after a phone conversation with her son, “because some of the reports are written for commercial firms that want to invest in [Third World] countries.”
Of course he didn’t think that those investing were
HELPING third world contries, OH NO, they were EXPLOITERS,
colonialists, it’s how at least one of his fathers
would have seen them.
BO was just a lazy, pot smoking, lowlife in a menial job. He imagined himself as some high powered businessman that could boss others around. His jealousy of anyone in that position is evident is his strong dislike for such a person. You often see losers like this imagining themselves to be much bigger than they are ever capable of being.
IMHO Obama is a subject of the "Queen of Diamonds".
obama had a former employer? Who knew?
Sooo much about this guy is unknown. I sure would like a peek at his college records. Must be a very damaging reason he won’t release them.
“I sure would like a peek at his college records. Must be a very damaging reason he won’t release them.”
It is more than likely that his college records establish that he was there as a ‘foreign student’, not a US Citizen at that time.
The records could be a treasure trove of stuff. Consider the possibilities: a GPA worse than Dubya’s; an affirmative action admittee; an ethnic studies major; an America-hating thesis? It’s obvious he never took an economics or history course.
