‘In a blog post by at DougRoss@Journal on March 1, 2010, “To be (a lawyer) or not to be... “, comments are offered from one who corroborates that Obama’s “teaching career” at The University of Chicago, was to put it kindly, a sham. This evaluation came about after talks the individual had with the highest tenured faculty members at Chicago Law about Obama, who was Barry at the time. Among them were:
* Obama applied for a position as an adjunct and wasn’t even considered.
* A few weeks later the law school got a phone call from the Board of Trustees telling them to find him an office, put him on the payroll, and give him a class to teach.
* The Board told Obama that he didn’t have to be a member of the faculty, but they needed to give him a temporary position.
* Obama was described by other professors as being lazy, unqualified, never attending any of the faculty meeting. It was clear that the position was nothing more than a political stepping stool.
* Some doubted whether Obama was legitimately an editor on the Harvard Law Review, because, if so, he would be the first and only editor of an Ivy League law review to never be published while in school.
The same blogger then asked reader to consider:
1. Having surrendered his license back in 2008, Obama is no longer a lawyer (allegations that the surrendering occurred to escape charges that Obama “fibbed” on his bar application.).
2. According to a Chicago Sun-Time article: “Obama did not ‘hold the title’ of a University of Chicago law school professor.”
3. According to Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law, “He did not hold the title of professor of law.”
4. As a former Constitutional senior lecturer, how could Obama cite the U.S. Constitution during a State of the Union Address with a quote that was from the Declaration of Independence?’
There’s a lot more at the site...all of it devastating.
The Sun-Times does not get to decide who is a U of C law professor. For better or worse, only the U of C does. And that's a fact!
