"Go explore some of his “roles” - he was one of 27 directors of a foundation with a $450,000 annual budget and 13 - yes, 13 - staff.

Now that is a scam. What was the name of it? How does it rank on Charity Navigator? The % going to overhead is probably a public record. I'd bet it's pretty ugly.

Ask, and ye shall receive!

Director, Developing Communities Project, 1985-1988.

As empty a job as Obama is a suit. He was one of 27 directors on a small-time Christian organization on the South Side of Chicago. A budget smaller than what his wife Michelle earns, and up to 13 staff. Think about it - 27 directors for 13 people, that's over 2 "executives" per staff person!

Illinois Project Vote, 1992.

For SIX MONTHS he was one of four directors of a 10 person staff (which includes the four directors). He actually had "executive" experience over one, maybe two people! And he managed to keep up that grueling schedule for a whole SIX MONTHS.

Public Allies Chicago, 1992-1993

Yes, his time at Public Allies, where they downplay his role; in actuality his wife had MUCH more to do with them per their own press release.

At best, Barack has a year sitting on a 27 person board, meeting a few times a year to discuss a budget smaller than what his wife earns, and a staff of 13.

And anyone who's actually sat on a board knows that it does not qualify as executive experience. Boards deal with bigger picture generalities, not the day-to-day issues, or even the quarter-to-quarter issues.
