BOSTON -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama got more than an education when he attended Harvard Law School in the late 1980s. He also got a healthy stack of parking tickets, most of which he never paid.

The Illinois Senator shelled out $375 in January _ two weeks before he officially launched his presidential campaign _ to finally pay for 15 outstanding parking tickets and their associated late fees.

The story was first reported Wednesday by The Somerville News.

Obama received 17 parking tickets in Cambridge between 1988 and 1991, mostly for parking in a bus stop, parking without a resident permit and failing to pay the meter, records from the Cambridge Traffic, Parking and Transportation office show.

OK, as always it is easy to show how the left are so hypocritical...so playing by their rules here, if it was not a big deal when Obama did it then maybe it is not such a big deal after all............ Hat tip and Thanks to Charles C. Johnson for pointing this story out on facebook tonight!

Yes. The left is hypocritical. BTW, the facts that Barack had 15 outstanding parking tickets and didn’t pay them until he decided to run for president, are relevant. It’s another insight into the man’s character (or lack thereof).

Glad you added the “lack thereof” because he really does not have one

I look forward to seeing this story of Obama's deliberate flouting of the law on the front page of the New York Slimes tomorrow.

Just a random thought. I am from MA and I can tell you first hand that if had an old parking ticket your license to drive was suspended until that was taken care of. Now that we have a national system, and have had one for many years, no other state would of issued or renewed a drivers license until MA was taken care of. This happened to me many years ago and to my mother, who is Florida as well. So he either does or did not have a license in his name in IL or he didn’t have one at all.

How did 0bama get a Massachusetts driver's license without a birth certificate?
