"They [Republicans] haven't talked about the fact that I was a civil rights lawyer; they haven't talked about the fact that I taught constitutional law; they haven't talked about my work in the state legislature, in the United States Senate," he said. "They're talking about the three years of work that I did right out of college ..." -- Obama response to Palin's speech.
Usual Obama disingenuousness. The Obama commercials running in my state themselves talk about how he passed up a supposed high-paying job on Wall Street to become a community organizer for only $13,000 a year -- the starting salary for a 2nd lieutenant in the Army at that time, by the way. He's the one making a big deal of it in his own commercials!
And there's plenty of talk about his time in the state legislature, about how he bravely voted "present" 130 times and how he voted three times in favor of infanticide -- and then lied about it!
Obama thinks everyone but him is an idiot, and based on his swooning fans, he's right about some of them.
