I cannot find any certification that Obama ever passed the bar. Can someone point me to such a verifiable reference? Thanks.
As did Bernadine Dohrn.
they do while pretending not to be planning anything.
Pinging self.
So he’s a liar about being a lawyer?
Inactive status is for people who passed the bar and were admitted to the bar, but for whatever reason don’t practice law and don’t want to deal with continuing education requirements (which cost time and money).
I am admitted to the NY Bar, for example, but am voluntarily considered ‘retired’ so I don’t have to pay them my annual dues and don’t have to keep up with CLE requirements.
That’s all it means - they passed the bar and were admitted, but don’t practice law so don’t want the hassles of keeping current. If we want to become active again, we need to file some papers, pay some dues, and start taking CLE credits to stay current.
His position was not tenure track (he would have been a "temporary," an "adjunct," or some other similar designation) so there was no need for him to publish. Temporary instructors rarely publish unless they mean to go on for their PhD and want to start building a bit of a record in advance. If a temporary instructor publishes, it will typically be in a fringe journal and not one of the upper-end journals unless he/she gets co-author credit with an established professor.
It is a bit unusual that a minority law instructor with two Ivy League degrees was apparently never offered a tenure track appointment. Of course he may have been offered one and turned it down, but I would think we would have heard of it if he had been offered a regular position at a prestigious place like U. of Chicago.
“I think I heard though today that he never published a paper while teaching.”
That’s if it’s your career and seeking tenure. We know that BHO’s brief “teaching” was only a resume-adder and brief stepping-stone to his ultimate goal. And again, the MSM so badly twists and misstates the facts - they persist in calling him a “college professor” - there’s a big difference being a real professor vs. a part-time lecturer, which is what he actually was.
And yes, professors are the ones to whom the “publish or perish” rule applies.
“Can one be a member after one has admitted to illegal drug use?”
yes, as long as they haven’t been convicted of a felony. besides, the “admitting to” can be construed as “hearsay”
:-))))))))))))))))
LOL! Very witty post.
“So he’s a liar about being a lawyer?”
Redundant :-)))))))))))
Maybe the whole firm should be researched?
Hey, why worry about whether Obama passed his bar exam? We’ve got more important stories to cover. Did you hear that Sarah Palin’s daughter is prego??? OMG......
Did you hear that DNA testing of her baby is being looked at......OMG.......
And did you hear that Sarah went to six different colleges before she graduated from college???????
we gotta have our priorities straight.
I heard rumors that there were problems at a city council meeting in the town Obama calls “Wasilly”, Alaska. When Sarah was mayor, there was a meeting where there was a breach of parliamentary procedure!!!!!! She’s in trouble now. That’s the deal breaker!!!!!!
Literally true.
