I knew they had both lost their law license, but I didn't know why until I read this.
This is 100% legit. I check it out at https://www.iardc.org/ Stands for Illinois Attorney Registration And Disciplinary Committee. It's the official arm of lawyer discipline in Illinois ; and they are very strict. (Talk about irony.) Even I, at the advanced age of almost 65, maintain (at the cost of approximately $600/year) my law license that I worked so hard and long to earn.
Big surprise.
Former Constitutional Law Lecturer and U.S. President Makes Up Constitutional Quotes During State Of The Union (SOTU) Address.
Consider this:
1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a "lawyer". He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order to escape charges he lied on his bar application. A "Voluntary Surrender" is not something where you decide "Gee, a license is not really something I need anymore, is it?" and forget to renew your license. No, a "Voluntary Surrender" is something you do when you've been accused of something, and you 'voluntarily surrender" your license five seconds before the state suspends you.
2 Michelle Obama "voluntarily surrendered" her law license in 1993. after a Federal Judge gave her the choice between surrendering her license or standing trial for Insurance fraud!
3. Facts.Source: http://jdlong.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/pres-barack-obama-editor-of-the-Harvard-law-review-has-no-law-license/
4. A senior lecturer is one thing, a fully ranked law professor is another. Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law Professor at the University of Chicago .
5. The University of Chicago released a statement in March 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "served as a professor" in the law school-but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008.
6. "He did not hold the title of Professor of Law," said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law.

7. The former Constitutional Senior Lecturer (Obama) cited the U.S. Constitution the other night during his State of the Union Address. Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of Independence ... not the Constitution.
8. The B-Cast posted the video: http://www.breitbart.tv/did-obama-confuse-the-constitution-with-the-declaration-of-independence/
9. Free Republic : In the State of the Union Address, President Obama said: "We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal.
10. Um, wrong citing, wrong founding document there Champ, I mean Mr. President. By the way, the promises are not a notion, our founders named them unalienable rights. The document is our Declaration of Independence and it reads:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
11. And this is the same guy who lectured the Supreme Court moments later in the same speech?
When you are a phony it's hard to keep facts straight. Keep this moving -- educate others
Nothing matters to the MSM...or the low-info voters.
Fact is I know at least 12 dumbass brokeass lawyers that will probably be running for some office in the near future. They at least can see that gravy train.......and attempt to hop on.
I think all this misses a bigger point.
Obama is an out-of touch ‘affirmative-action’ winner,
gets everything he wants without trying,
who does not know that most success in the US
comes from personal effort.
Barack choomed his way for a couple years
at Occidental? college,
then gets into Columbia, but does not show
up much, then gets admitted to Harvard LS,
does nothing that is noteworthy,
then is chosen editor of Harvard Law Review.
does not write anything,
summer interned several times, never by the same firm.
gets a job at a average Chicago Law firm for ??
length of time, but does nothing noteworthy.
has a problem with the bar association.
turns to politics.
According to the website you cited, Michelle Obama’s Illinois registration is “[v]oluntarily inactive and not authorized to practice law.” That would seem to differ substantially from Obambi’s “voluntarily retired.”

He answered ‘no’ to, “did he have any aliases.” I am pretty sure this has come up in the past.
This is false at its worse and misleading at its best. Because it is false and misleading, it cast suspicion on the validity of the entire offering.
Impeachment was for:
Article 1: Perjury before Independent Counsel Ken Starr's grand jury
Of course FR knew all this before Nov. 2008 but not a peep from the msm, Hillary, Congress, McLame, W, secretaries of states, or the Electoral College. Just glad someone saved the page.
I think it best to keep your points as factual as possible.
BO was not the Editor of the Harvard Law Review, but rather the President of HLR, a largely ceremonial post.
