Liberal Media 2011: Michele Bachmann has thin legislative résumé. 2008: Obama has no résumé but he's AOK!

Obama is the most unqualified, inexperienced President in our nations history. There is no close second. The liberal establishment media covered for him in 2008, including the fact that he had zero executive or even federal experience since he spent his entire, short US Senate career simply running for President. He even said so himself before taking his Senate seat in January 2005:

But of course, now the meme in the media is that Michele Bachmann's resume is too thin, if you can believe that. Via memeorandum, from The Politico: Michele Bachmann's thin legislative résumé

Rep. Michele Bachmann is surging in the GOP presidential polls and barnstorming Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, but as she sprints toward the front of the Republican pack, there’s a major hole in her political résumé: legislation.

Now in her third House term, Bachmann has never had a bill or resolution she’s sponsored signed into law, and she’s never wielded a committee gavel, either at the full or subcommittee level. Bachmann’s amendments and bills have rarely been considered by any committee, even with the House under GOP control. In a chamber that rewards substantive policy work and insider maneuvering, Bachmann has shunned the inside game, choosing to be more of a bomb thrower than a legislator.

And you can clearly see how Obama's non accomplishments in the Illinois House and Senate where he was known as Senator Present, and zero accomplishments in the US Senate where he didn't even do his job, are far better than anything Bachmann has done.

The establishment MSM is slavishly running a full-court press against Bachmann using mockery and brazenly twisting the truth:

Meanwhile, they continue to hide Obama's actual gaffes. Via memeorandum: Mainstream media covers up horrifying Obama mistake

No one in mainstream media seems inclined to mention Barack Obama’s horrifying mistake last Thursday when, speaking at Fort Drum,  he said that SFC Jared Monti was “the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn’t receiving it posthumously.” Alas, he was mistaken. He awarded the Medal of Honor to Jared Monti posthumously in 2009 and awarded the Medal of Honor in person to SSG Sal Giunta in person in 2011. Obama later apologized for this mistake, but it’s really dismaying that a president who spoke movingly and even eloquently in awarding the Medal of Honor made a mistake of this magnitude.

“It shouldn’t take a teleprompter for the C-in-C to get it right,” writes military blogger Black Five. It’s interesting that mainstream media journalists who are so eager to zing Michele Bachmann for getting John Wayne’s birthplace wrong, have not been interested in asking whether this was a mistake Obama made in ad libbing or whether the White House speechwriters and fact-checkers fell down on the job. You might think that their chief motive is to make Obama look good and to suppress facts that make him look bad.

Actor John Wayne was raised in a nearby town from Bachmann, not in Waterloo itself. So you can see that that is far more egregious and worthy of media mockery than the commander in chief getting a dead Medal of Honor recipient's life function status wrong.
