FWIW here is the ‘biography’ of Obama from CBC Canada (the extremely liberal arm of media in Canada Before the election of Harper someone on staff flashed a swastika with the face of Harper on it.) The biography is a ‘mishmash’ of his early life with more focus on his years after Columbia, including his community organizing years and Illinois Senate time. They mention the removal of asbestos but fail to mention it was never finished.

In Obama: The Man Behind the Mask, Andy Martin reports that Obama barely had any involvement in the asbestos. So not only was it incomplete, he was only remotely affiliated in the issue.
Media have to make it appear as though Obama has actually accomplished something, anything to make him more palatable to the public! He truly does remind me of his maternal grandfather moving on before accomplishing anything!
If you read the biography on CBC take time to check the one on McCain as well.
Starting salary: About $13,000 a year (including a car allowance.)
LOL! And when this is all over, he'll be lucky to get his old job back...even that was way above his pay-grade.
