Looking again at Obama’s second general election ad, Yuval Levin thinks Obama’s campaign’s description of his role in passage of 2000 earned income tax credit bill in Illinois checks out.

But FactCheck.org is finding fault with the ad’s claim that Obama “worked his way through college and Harvard Law.”

But “worked his way” through college and law school? The only back-up the campaign provided for this claim was a quote from Obama’s book “Dreams from My Father” having to do with a construction job he had one summer while he was in college, and an article mentioning his job as a summer associate one year at a big Chicago law firm. We asked campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor if Obama held jobs during the school year, or other summer jobs, but he said only, “He had the two jobs I told you about.” Unless Obama had a good bit more employment than his spokesman was able to describe for us, it’s a real stretch to claim he “worked his way” through school.

Go figure, Obama worked in construction for a while. And here I thought the only thing he knew how to build was a religion.
