The Los Angeles Times thinks now is a good time to start noticiing that Obama has a thin resume:
Interestingly, Dan Morain of the L.A. Times has just discovered that Barack Obama has a pretty thin resume prior to being elevated to the presidency. Between 1993 and '96, Obama, the much-ballyhooed "Constitutional scholar," had only an unusually low 3,723 billable hours of legal work accrued over a four-year stint with his law firm employer Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Gallard. Further, he seems to have worked on but few cases and made little impact commensurate with his reputation. The question I have, of course, is why is the L.A. Times only NOW interested that Obama was "involved in relatively few cases before entering politics"? Where was this investigating before the election?
. . . . According to Morain, some of Obama's "big" cases were the case of a shortchanged babysitter, the case of a cold building tenant, and a lawsuit against a corporation that owned low-income housing on behalf of a guy that slipped and fell down. Additionally, Obama was involvd in the enforcement of the federal Motor Voter law in Illinois -- at lest that one being a higher profile case.
. . . . This is the man that was praised for his extensive legal career? A slighted babysitter and a guy that fell down are the amazing legal challenges he faced as a young lawyer?
That's great investigative work, L.A. Times. However, the election was two weeks ago. Next time you might want to get on the story a little faster.
Like everyone else, I'm waiting to hear what's the result from Andy Martin's hearing in Circuit Court in Hawaii this morning, about requiring Obama's original birth certificate (finally!).
Ms. Cobb, please keep an eye on this and post something as soon as there's any news.
Probably around 3 or 4pm, EST.
