I am reminded of the story told by the postman (will try to find the link) who told the story that he met zero outside the home of Ayres Snr in Hyde Park, and zero telling him that he was on his way to thank Ayres for something...the postman calculated that zero was in his early twenties at the time.
Obama apparently was at the University until 1992, IIRC.
Charles T Payne, Madelyn’s brother, was Deputy Director of the Library at the University of Chicago from the sixties until he retired in the 90’s. Charles T Payne also lived in Hyde Park.
Bump for later read. Looks interesting.

excerpt:
Hulton recalls that Obama said hello and introduced himself and stopped to chat with him in front of the Ayers house. “I recall that his ears stuck out a little bit. He was more gaunt then than he appears now. His name was an unusual one and when I saw his photo during the campaign it brought back my memory of the event,” Hulton said.
Mr. Obama explained that he had taken the train out from Chicago to visit the Ayers’ in order to thank them for their help with his “education.” At this time, Mr. Obama had recently graduated from Columbia and would soon enter Harvard Law School. Hulton and Obama “spoke for a few minutes, first chatting about the Ayers family,” Hulton said. Hulton said he did not learn whether the help Obama received from the Ayers’ was financial or in some other form.
It’s a fascinating story...
...Mrs. Ayers told Hulton that she and her husband had been in contact with their son Bill and Bernardine while they were underground using “code” to communicate. “They had ‘ways to communicate’ she told me,” Hulton said. Hulton encountered Dohrn three or four times during his time as the Ayers’ letter carrier because he had to confirm that she lived there and secure her signature for certified mail deliveries to her at the Glen Ellyn home. Hulton said Dohrn was never friendly with him but rather “was a sourpuss, she never smiled.” ...
Not only is HE an ignoramus, apparently those who write for TOTUS are too.
Gosh, you don't need to be Law School faculty for that. Any racist redneck Tea Bagger militiaman can do that.
Could be worse, one could be hated by lawyers who work at the BATFE.
BUMP for excellence in posting! ..And bookmarked.
“Internet bloggers - - doing the job the “mainstream media” never did.”
...I think I’ll surf the net now, looking to see if some more Democrat newspapers have gone bankrupt, just to make myself smile.
You don’t want to miss this!

Not everyone gets a boost from Soros and Saudis, or has the advantage of a typical white grandmother to keep him off the streets, more or less. The president of the law review usually goes on to serve as a clerk for a judge on the Federal Court of Appeals for a year, and then as a clerk for an associate justice of the Supreme Court.
But this one got to dis the Supreme Court, right to (many of) their faces, in front of Congress, the American People and God himself.
The first female editor of The Harvard Law Review was Susan Estrich, in 1977
OMG, the place is a nest of vipers.
This is not true. Presidents of the HLR generally do not write articles under their own name for the Review, so obviously this is not an academic requirement.
Good reminder; I think I had a post on the mailman’s story also, but had forgotten. Wonder if Ayers was on the Board?
Also this [official “narrative”?]:
The coverage prompted a call to him from Jane Dystel, a gravelly-voiced literary agent described by Peter Osnos, then the publisher of Times Books, as “a good journeyman with a hard edge.” ... Ms. Dystel suggested Mr. Obama write a book proposal. Then she got him a contract with Poseidon Press, a now-defunct imprint of Simon & Schuster. When he missed his deadline, she got him another contract and a $40,000 advance from Times Books....
Mr. Obama was given an office to write in at the University of Chicago through a surprising connection. Douglas G. Baird, a professor who was head of the law school’s appointments committee, had learned of Mr. Obama from Michael W. McConnell, a conservative constitutional scholar then at Chicago whom President Bush would later make a federal judge.
Professor McConnell encountered Mr. Obama during the editing of an article he wrote for The Harvard Law Review, Professor Baird said recently. “He sent a note saying this person is really brilliant, we should have him on our radar screen,” Professor Baird said. Professor Baird called Mr. Obama at Harvard and asked if he was interested in teaching.
“I don’t remember his exact words, but it was something to the effect that, ‘Well, in fact, I want to write this book.’ What he really wanted was the Virginia Woolf equivalent of a clean, well lighted room.” So Professor Baird got him one, a small office near the law library, along with a law school fellowship that Professor Baird hoped might later lead to his full-time teaching.”

1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a "lawyer" . He surrendered his license back in 2008
2. Michelle Obama "voluntarily surrendered" her law license in 1993.
3. So, we have the first black President and First Lady - who don't actually have licenses to practice law.
She “voluntarily surrendered” her license in 1993. Let me explain what that means. 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 about five seconds before the state suspends (or disbars) you.
This struck me as odd, since (a) she went to school to be a lawyer, and (b) she just recently held a position with the University of Chicago Hospitals as legal counsel — and that’s a pretty hard job to qualify for without a law license.
The man behind the mask.
he is just not that glib.
If you look at my post #52 it will take you to an article that has comments from quite a number of his colleagues and students.
No published law review articles. Check.
No federal judicial clerkship. Check.
No distinguished time in private law practice. Check.
Yeah, BO was an amazing faculty candidate. Not.
