If Obama embellished is resume in "Dreams" what else do we know about him that isn't true?

Via Just one Minute: 

A former colleague of Barack Obama wrote a post in 2005 discussing the accuracy of "Dreams" vis a vis Obama's financial writing career. The comments come to life in 2007 (and some other former colleagues join in) as Obama's Presidential campaign takes off. It sounds as if Obama's "job" was also a bit of a composite.

Here's DENKO at Analyze This:

Don’t get me wrong – I’m a fan of Barack Obama, the Illinois freshman senator and hot young Democratic Party star. But after reading his autobiography, I have to say that Barack engages in some serious exaggeration when he describes a job that he held in the mid-1980s.I know because I sat down the hall from him, in the same department, and worked closely with his boss. I can’t say I was particularly close to Barack – he was reserved and distant towards all of his co-workers – but I was probably as close to him as anyone. I certainly know what he did there, and it bears only a loose resemblance to what he wrote in his book. Here’s Barack’s account:

Eventually a consulting house to multinational corporations agreed to hire me as a research assistant. Like a spy behind enemy lines, I arrived every day at my mid-Manhattan office and sat at my computer terminal, checking the Reuters machine that blinked bright emerald messages from across the globe. As far as I could tell I was the only black man in the company, a source of shame for me but a source of considerable pride for the company’s secretarial pool.

First, it wasn’t a consulting house; it was a small company that published newsletters on international business. Like most newsletter publishers, it was a bit of a sweatshop. I’m sure we all wished that we were high-priced consultants to multinational corporations. But we also enjoyed coming in at ten, wearing jeans to work, flirting with our co-workers, partying when we stayed late, and bonding over the low salaries and heavy workload.

Barack worked on one of the company’s reference publications. Each month customers got a new set of pages on business conditions in a particular country, punched to fit into a three-ring binder. Barack’s job was to get copy from the country correspondents and edit it so that it fit into a standard outline. There was probably some research involved as well, since correspondents usually don’t send exactly what you ask for, and you can’t always decipher their copy. But essentially the job was copyediting.

It’s also not true that Barack was the only black man in the company. He was the only black professional man. Fred was an African-American who worked in the mailroom with his son. My boss and I used to join them on Friday afternoons to drink beer behind the stacks of office supplies. That’s not the kind of thing that Barack would do. Like I said, he was somewhat aloof.

There's more.  Read the rest.

Before anyone gets excited about this, the post I linked to was published in 2005, well before Obama won the nomination. It was out here for anyone in the press and anyone on the internet to see. In fact, I read it at Just One Minute before the 2008 election, yet he still won.

The MSM just isn’t going to make a big deal about this and the conventional wisdom is that they still control the narrative in 2012. Keep in mind that during Clinton’s first term the sordid tale of Monica Lewinski came to light and the issue got a lot of press. The MSM, the Left, the feminists and the entire Democrat apparatus coalesced around Clinton and in the end Ken Starr was made into the villain while Clinton just turned into a loveable horndog, and the issue of lying and perjury was brushed aside.

But if enough people who voted for Obama feel their economic pain find out about the series of lies, exaggerations and dirty dealing things like this can sway the election.
