Critics often complain that President Obama had never run anything before he became President. But that’s not true. Back in his community organizing days, from 1985 to 1988 he ran something called the Developing Communities Project in Chicago.
Wikipedia says “During his three years as the DCP’s director, its staff grew from one to thirteen and its annual budget grew from US$70,000 … to US$400,000….”
The article also says, “In mid-1988, he traveled for the first time in Europe for three weeks and then for five weeks in Kenya, where he met many of his paternal relatives for the first time.”
So in three years, he increased his organization’s number of employees by 1200%, grew its budget by 471% and then he took eight weeks vacation.
At least he’s consistent.
