Here's what 'constitutional scholar' Obama really taught at law school
The American Thinker ^ | 1-10-16 | Karin McQuillan

Among the lies about himself Obama consistently repeats is that he was a constitutional law professor.

Lie one: Obama was never a professor; he was a lecturer. He did not have the qualifications to be a professor. Obama never published a single law paper. He was hired by the University of Chicago when they learned he had been given a book contract on race and law directly after graduating from Harvard. There was no book - just the contract, which he later reneged on. This is not the normal level of accomplishment for a University of Chicago professor or even lecturer.

Obama was not capable of writing, and eventually, after failing to deliver, he changed it to a memoir, which he also struggled with. Finally, he asked Bill Ayers to write his memoir for him, using tapes that Michelle dropped off at the Ayerses'.

Lie two: Obama did not specialize in the Constitution. Obama cared about and taught only one subject: race. One course was about race in the Constitution. It is on this flimsy basis that he attempts to pawn himself off as a constitutional scholar.

As the New York Times explains, Obama the lecturer taught three subjects only: "race, rights and gender."

Obama's reads the Constitution the same way he reads the bible; he's looking for loopholes.

Best comment of the month, right there...... BTTT.

I would agree on the foreign student scholarship business. My suspicion is that midway through the second semester at Occidental....they probably said his grade-point average was lousy and he was not meeting the requirement required for the scholarship. After that, he found someone who knew of a Saudi scholarship package for upscale schools (Ivy League), and moved over to that angle (pretending to be a Muslim). His whole life....from the day that he got shipped back to Hawaii to live with the Grandparents...has been mostly about an act...pretending to be something that he wasn’t.

The first thing to know about communism is that communism is a pack of lies.

They were all a bunch of lying SOS's back in the 30's and 40's when the Frankfurt School (I call them the "Dresden School", for their "burn the m.f. down" argle-bargle) was telling anyone who asked them what a Communist-run society would look like, "First we have to destroy every remnant of the old, corrupt capitalist society; then we can talk about what a just society looks like". Which is also called ducking the question.

In fact, it turns out that the lie in their mouths was already unmasked by what the Soviet Communists had done in Russia in 1917, when they took over the Russian government intact and proceeded to operate it as a continuing enterprise, carefully screening the ministries from their own propaganda of the previous 20 years.

When Mary McCarthy, authoress of The Group, a roman a clef about Communist playwright (and predatory sapphist -- wait, where have we heard that before?) Lillian Hellman, appeared on The Tonight Show, Johnny Carson asked her about her opinion of Hellman's trustworthiness as an authoress. McCarthy, a good Catholic girl, replied that Hellman lied with every word she wrote, "including 'and' and 'the'". Hellman sued her, then dropped the suit when McCarthy declared bankruptcy.

Which clarifies our view of Western Communists: they not only lie like dogs, they like to bully people who call it like it is. And of course they only bully people because, in the West, they are restrained from killing them.

I think there's about a 50% chance he never renaturalized (courtesy of his Commie family) and never turned in his Indonesian passport, which he reportedly used both in college and afterward. If that's so, then he may not legally even be a U.S. citizen, much less an NBC.

U of Chicago law professors all agreed that Obama was very lazy, and that his work was sub standard.
