Did Obama overstate his accomplishments in Community Service?

[Auntie Bush]

Just asking because the threads should be equal.

1. Not that I know of

Here's one article from 1993 that talks about his success in organizing a legendary voter registration drive among African Americans:

2. He only worked at the Childrens Defense Organization for less

than a year.

Whoops, wrong candidate.

3. Because as the Republicans always say

We always have to have one Democratic scandal reported every time there are 50 Republican scandals, so it will all be equal.

:crazy:

4. I Don't Know, but I Think he was Stupid to Waste His Time On Community Service

When as Hillary Clinton found, there's so much more money in the practice of corporate law.

9. I believe she got a plum job at Walmart Board of Directors during that time

5. Hillary was a wife in the WH.

Should we investigate how much experience that is worth? Will you people ever tire of asking stupid questions. Peace, Kim Hussein

6. He did Community Service? What was he convicted of?

Sorry, just being facetious.

7. LOL LOL LOL

8. No....he has understated his experience on that count.....

He worked in the field for three years, unlike Hillary's 10 months at the Children's Defense Fund right after college.

and he has not stressed enough the money he gave up for $12,000 per year!

Here's another article:
