Bob Owens of Confederate Yankee tweeted, and several of us have retweeted, a message about the President. Upon checking, I discovered it implies something that is incorrect.
CONGRATULATIONS MR OBAMA: After all, isn't this the longest you've ever held a job?
Actually, that is not the case -- but as I noted a couple years back, the presidency will, in fact, be the longest that Obama has ever held a job in his life. Here's the original post.
After Columbia he spent a year in a New York business, a year in a NY non-profit, and then headed to Chicago where he spent 3 years as a “community organizer.”
Then he went to law school, returning to Chicago in 1991. He did some community organizing, then was an associate for a Chicago law firm for three years. After that he was to the State Senate - a part time legislature — and served as a lecturer at the Univ. of Chicago law school — another part-time gig. He was involved in a variety of community organizations during this period.
His Senate seat is the first full-time job he has had since his law firm days — but he’s only been in that job for 4 years.
So, serving 8 years at POTUS would be his longest stint in any position of full-time employment in his life.
And notice, please, that little of his work experience really prepares him to be a competent president -- no executive experience, and no significant involvement with foreign policy or defense matters.
Which is why this quote from Obama's speech at last night's Nuremberg Rally at Invesco Field is particularly amusing.
“If you don’t have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from.”
Record, Senator? What record? You have accomplished nothing of significance in your life except for a couple of good speeches, a pair of over-rated books, and getting yourself nominated for a job that is well above your pay grade.

Now just a quick update, since that original post dates from August, 2008 -- since Barack Obama quit his Senate seat on November 16, 2008, the final six weeks of his first term will constitutes the single longest full-time job he's ever held. So as of right now, this is not the longest stretch of full-time employment ever held by Barack Hussein Obama -- but he's getting there. Only if we count his part-time gig as a lecturer on constitutional law (NOT a professor) will he have held any job longer than he will have served as President if he serves out two full terms as president.
