Re: “His responsibilities included “interviewing business experts, researching trends in foreign exchange, following market developments - He wrote about currency swaps and leverage leases - Obama also helped write financial reports on Mexico and Brazil.”

This is hard to believe.

The guy majored in political science.

Then, straight out of college, he lands a job in Financial Journalism?

This is complicated stuff.

But a guy with no experience and no academic background in Finance gets the job?

I would say this....if this company hired him straight out of college to write financial reports on Mexico and Brazil....then he was totally unqualified, and it makes one wonder if the reports were intended to be all fictional in the first place. It’d be like asking Chris Christie to write mechanical reports on John Deere tractors, or asking Harry Reid to write reports on tourism in Hong Kong.

It sounds like to me that these financial report institutions were all bogus. They could have hired the Octo-mom from California to write for them and gotten the same results.
