PJ Media ^ | 10/29/14 | Avner Zarmi

Following an event during which some African American attendees walked out on a Barack Obama speech intended to galvanize them into voting for Mary Burke, the Wisconsin Reporter claims that a pivotal event from Burke’s career has been falsely described by her during the campaign to cover up an embarrassment. The article also claims that Burke included falsified information related to her job performance on her resume, a resume which she submitted before she was appointed as Wisconsin’s commerce secretary. Burke has claimed that, after two years heading Trek Bicycle’s European operations during which sales figures rose substantially, she was “burnt out” and left for a several month “snowboarding

To Liberals it doesn’t matter if only to be able to beat the Republicans.

The Wisconsin Reporter is a sexist publication.

More on Mary Burke’s resume — falsified.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list. The radio air around here is buzzing with this information this afternoon, PLUS the news that Walker is ahead by 7 points among likely voters.

Trek sources: Mary Burke’s family fired her for incompetence
http://watchdog.org/179822/mary-burke-trek-sales/

Burke apparently was fired by her own family following steep overseas financial losses and plummeting morale among Burke’s European sales staff, multiple former Trek executives and employees told Wisconsin Reporter.

"One week, Wisconsin. One week. One week from today you get to choose a new governor. And because early voting runs through this Friday, you don't have to wait until election day," Obama told the crowd in Milwaukee.

"You can vote all week," Obama added.

"I mean you can only vote once, this isn't Chicago now," Obama told the crowd, laughing.

She was fired by her own family to keep her away from the company she was destroying. This does not sound like your standard layoff nor is the real truth a resume enhancer.

Now confirmed by former Trek CEO:

To put it bluntly, she was fired.

This was in the 1990s -- not in the recent (2009) Obama recession. And it was because her wealthy family fired her for incompetence and she went snow boarding for 3 years.

She also didn't stick with anything else for very long -- a non profit that fizzled that she ran out of her home, an abbreviated stint as Commerce Secretary during which 166,000 jobs vanished and where she squandered taxpayer money by buying land to gift to a corporation that never intended to move here.

It looks like she doesn't get along with people very well. Former employees and co-workers have complained about her all along the way.
