Resume Padding, Clinton-Style
Okay. Lots of people do it, right? Shooting for that big job, you take a few liberties in describing your job history. With a few keyboard strokes you go from "gas station attendant" to "internal combustion engine fuel specialist." An after school job behind the counter at Dairy Queen morphs into "dietary consultant." A mundane, ceremonial trip to Tusla, Bosnia--with the aid of creative visualization--is recast as proof of pressure under fire. Songs and photo ops are replaced with sniper fire and hit-the-deck urgency.
Experts on resume padding are largely in agreement:
It seems like a good idea, harmless in fact. Your friends assure you that everybody does it and that employers rarely check resume facts. Going on blind faith and convinced the truth hasn't been helpful so far, you seriously consider fabricating information on your resume. You adapt the school of thought that a little white lie never hurt anyone and lying on a resume is just that, a little white lie.
Cheating on a resume can be tempting, especially when one has been searching for a job for months or even years. However, we all know that fibbing is never a good idea, and the likelihood that you'll be caught is extremely high. Even if your "creativity" slips through the cracks, karma has a way of catching up with you. So either way, lying gets messy.
Messy, indeed.

Obama is trying to divert attention off his failing racial campaign..Sorry it won't work..
Obama once described the white race as "that ghostly figure that haunted black dreams."
"That hate hadn't gone away," he wrote, blaming "white people -- some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives."]
Lets not forget Obamas close friend..
In a sermon delivered at Howard University, Barack Obama’s longtime minister, friend, and adviser blamed America for starting the AIDS virus, training professional killers, importing drugs, and creating a racist society that would never elect a black man as president.
The Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., pastor of Obama’s Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, gave the sermon at the school’s Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel in Washington on Jan. 15, 2006. While snippets from the sermon have appeared in a few magazines, no news outlet has previously run the entire text of Wright’s diatribe. An audio recording of the sermon appears on YouTube.

Another terrorist figure with connections to Obama..
Obama and the Bill Ayers connection..
From 1999 to 2002, Obama served as a Board member of the Woods Fund of Chicago. A fellow Board member was William Ayers, a University of Illinois education professor who, in the 1960s and 70s, was a leader of the domestic terrorist group Weatherman.
As the Democratic Party moved center in the 2004 campaign, Obama's website quietly removed a blistering anti-war speech he had given in 2002 and replaced it with a milder statement more in step with the party line of Senators John Kerry and John Edwards.
And add even another terror name to the list..Frank Marshall Davis..

Re Bosnia & Hillary: We all saw her lie during her speech while laughing and acting the lie out. I saw her on TV last night covering her lips. Her excuse was, " I miss-spoke." The one who hangs on ever word that other candidates say and attacks them for the word or words has "MISS-SPOKE." She dismisses her miss-spokes lightly but rags her fat ass off when the opposition speaks a word she can plunk them for. Anyone that can not see through her false front and statements has been blinded by her falseness. I have one miss-spoke for Hillarious Rotten. Your a Phoney B - - - -.

Comment to "Mike". I, for one, believe "this woman" as you called her!!!! You are the one with the blinders on. Have you done your research or are you just forming your opinion from the one-sided press? And I will tell you another thing.....the lives of Americans, as a whole, was a whole lot better during Bill Clinton's 8 years than we have seen in a long time. So, what's your problem???? Do you have an aversion to Americans doing well???? You must.

"Hillary Clinton is a congenital liar. Her complete ease with chronic deceit is pathological. She doesn't need to be running for President, she needs mental health treatmeant. She is not a well woman."
YOU PUT IT IN PLAIN & SIMPLE LANGUAGE. RIGHT ON.

Jim: But go deeper...
Barack Obama and Weather Underground domestic terrorist Bill Ayers were paid directors of the Woods Fund, and they raised money for different groups, including AAAN (Arab American Action Network)...very Pro-Palestine/ anti-Israel...and they are hard-core supporters of intense immigration reform, open borders and illgal aliens getting driver's licenses and free education (but for which illegal aliens, ultimately?).
Rashid Khalidi is your new name.
Rashid Khalidi, a Columbia University Professor (of Arab studies) served on the board of the Woods Fund. Rashid Khalidi, along with Bill Ayers each had several fundraisers for Obama.
Rashid Khalidi has been connected to numerous organizations, including: Palestinian News Agency (PNA) and Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), which is on America's terrorist list. Khalidi has spent a great deal over seas working with Arabs concerning their interests.
*And I believe on these boards, that I read just yesterday that Khalidi has met with President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmdinejad.
**Also, the "Frank" you mentioned is Barack Obama's childhood friend who taught him communism, socialism, and marxism. He is designated by the USA as being in the Communist party (CPUSA).

cfudin === Hill has a Big Big Big Ego, has been lying for years to the public right along with Billy Bob. Pathological Pair!!!! Her fans may weep for her but no need. Hill pulls out the weep card anytime she needs it. She is done. Billy Bob pulls out the angry card when Lard Butt Hill is losing her ass. Pathetic Duo. With Clintons it is all about money; all they care about is padding their own pockets SOMEMORE.

When all this is said and done, and we're into 2009, I suggest Disney World make an offer the Clintons can't refuse - King and Queen of Fantasy World. And they can retain James Carville as their court jester.

GBrownfromAbq10:36AMMar 25th 2008
With regards to Hillary, it isn't just this story. She remembers a role in the peace process that simply didn't happen. She remembers a diplomatic trip with Joe Wilson that couldn't have occured because he hadn't been appointed yet. (See HuffingtonPost.com). She claims credit for opening borders in the Balkins that were already open when she arrived. She recalls hails of gunfire that didn't and couldn't have EVER occured to a First Lady without extensive news coverage that did not happen. Her escape from liability in the scandals of the Rose Law Firm and Whitewater were dependent on her poor memory. And as much as we pity her for Bill's indiscretions, there has been a pattern of her covering up and paying off Bill's women that goes all the way back to Yale Law School. You get the feeling that she has been lying for so long that even she can't tell what the truth is anymore.
Edina - no Jesus is Bill, because that is who Richardson allegedly betrayed. Hillary is Jesus/Bill's successor in interest - I suppose that would make her St. Peter. It's the Church of Jesus/Bill and Hillary is the first pope!!! If this seems a little ridiculous, have you read Katherine's posts at the beginning of this story? She sounds like a true believer in the Church of Bill/Jesus - with a fanaticism so virolent that she would make a good Inquisitor.
JUDY fERGUSON10:37AMMar 25th 2008
Hillary and Bill Clinton are Professional Notorious
Liars so why is anyone surprised that she embellished
her story concerning experience and foreign policies?
The Clintons where well scruitinized during the 8 year administration and why is it just now that we are hearing about Hillary's experience, foreign polices and dodging sniper fire? All I remember is one scandal after another.
kathy6710:38AMMar 25th 2008
MOUTH KATHERINE..........you do not know what the hell you are talking about. All you are is a trash mouth from the inside out. Hatefull nature just like your Queen Bee that you hold in highest esteem. Shows you have very poor judgement also. Par for your style. Obama is a better person than you could ever be. You show your colors and they are not nice colors.
Rose10:39AMMar 25th 2008
Hillary will say anything to get elected.I had a certain respect for her initially, but that is long gone.Bill Richardson was dead on when he talked about
a sense of entitlement at play here. What comes across
here with Mrs Clinton is ego and an opportunistic drive for power at any price.Supporters will try to downplay the Bosnia fairy tale, but an assertion is either true or it is not.I don't buy into
euphemisms for lying such as "I misspoke"."The Washington Post"gave this story four Pinnochios and they were right.
marty10:40AMMar 25th 2008
The Clintons have been deceiving the public for many years, why should they stop now. Perhaps we were better off in the 90s but what did they do that wasn't in the republicans contract with America or come from Greenspan. Hillary did a great job with universal health care the first time who thinks she will do better now. All churches preach intolerance towards other religions so everyone should walk out.
American4America10:45AMMar 25th 2008
Hillary did not "Mis-speak" Either someone was shooting at you or they weren't and I would think that would be something you would recall clearly!
Hillary is motivated by her need to Win, not her need to serve. This is not the only lie she has told or credit she has taken for the work of others.
She has a Republican Mentality. Instill fear, Sling Mud, Take credit for the work of others, Deflect blame onto others, and do all this banking on the fact that most American's won't take the time to research the facts...

I know that a lot of people support Hillary, but doesn't it make you uncomfortable to realize how she and her people are constantly trying to bend and spin party rules to figure out a way she can win? The numbers are against her. She can't win...but she is twisting, bending, trying to come with new ways to distort the process. Maybe the process should change, but the changes can't come midstream or it undermines everything. It appears that she would rather destroy the party's chances to take the next election than have Obama take what she felt entitled to from the beginning. At this point, Obama should be focusing on McCain and not have to deal with her. McCain is having "senior moments" which his people are calling a "misspeak". He has been confusing facts about Iraq and Iran in the same way for days. This is important and disturbing coming from a presidential candidate. But the democratic party has to deal with her refusal to read the writing on the wall....and hasn't dealt with this glaring problem with McCain.
