Kristol: Obama was rolling in the dough as community organizer.

In his New York Times column today, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol expressed his disappointment at what Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) “left out” of his commencement speech last week at Wesleyan University. Kristol claims that Obama’s decision to become a community organizer in Chicago isn’t very impressive:

In today’s dollars, Obama’s $12,000/year in 1985 translates into an inflation-adjusted current salary of $23,958. It seems Kristol may be living in a time warp because what he pays his new employees is less than the average salary for the lowest-level congressional staffer.
