I swear he sprang full-grown from this movie.

For those who haven't seen it, a description

An affluent New York couple find their lives touched, intruded upon, and compelled by a mysterious young black man claiming to be Sidney Poitier's son and a classmate of their son at Harvard. He is eventually revealed to be a highly persuasive con-man, who has charmed his way into many upper-crust homes along the Upper East Side with his wit and insider knowledge.

According to an article just posted on Drudge, Obama did teach Constitutional Law - semester 3, on the 14th Amendment. The article Drudge points to was written by a person who claims to have taken the course. His response to Obama’s slam at the Supreme Court was that Obama wasn’t against a group of unelected officials overturning laws in the case of Roe V. Wade and other cases he taught.

From this string of stupid things he's said, and done, if he taught ANYTHING there are some highly misinformed students out there somewhere.

His only expertise is stirring up trouble.

Exactly.

Most people could not easily live with themselves, knowing they are just an empty suit, a puppet, a stage prop. But Obama's narcissism is such that this doesn't bother him at all. He feels he is worthy of great respect even though he is a fraud.

And how did Zero feel about nine unelected justices overturning all kinds of democratically passed segregation laws?

Never attribute to “malice”, what can more easily be explained by “incompetence”.

Our POTUS is the “Cliff Clavin” of politics. He just makes this stuff up as he goes along.

You asked ... Are we certain that the individual now claiming to be Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. is the same individual who attended Harvard Law School?

No we are not certain, mostly because the person now claiming to be Barack Hussein Obama has spent over $2 million so that we cannot find out

“...Why didn’t they just make him an astronaut, or a race car driver? He never did that either. What’s the difference...”

Had that spazzmo tried either of those, he’d be resting with dead Ted.

Obama did not teach constitutional law. What Obama taught was constitutional activism. Obama honed his constitutional skills to discover loopholes around the Constitution's vision for America.

Senator Obama informed us that he felt the Constitution was a flawed document.
President Obama informed us that he will discover ways to bypass Congress.

Now President Obama is looking for loopholes to bypass the Supreme Court.

"On every question of construction [of the Constitution], let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invent against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed." - Thomas Jefferson

Interesting. The common theme in this thread is that nobody ‘trusts’ Obama.

We are not sure he is an American.
We are not sure he speaks of his own volition.
We are not sure what name he will ‘use’ next year or the year after. (how many aka’s does he have? we will never know)
We are not ‘sure’ he ever went to any American college or graduated. (we DO know that he has NO transcripts)
We are not sure those girls (that he forgets their names) are actually his daughters or that the Michelle person is actually his wife.
We ARE sure he is a Muslim. I mean, come on already. Braak Hussein Obama is about the most Muslim name anyone could conjure up. It is just STUPID that we have to walk around in some Liberal fantasy-land pretending he is not Muslim.

I mean, how stupid are we. “Here is my friend Hymie Goldstein Imajew. Pssst, but don't ask him if he is Jewish. We are supposed to pretend we don't know.”

This is a shadow man with no documented past at all. No driver's license, some crazy SSN from who knows where. Why shouldn't he claim he was the Bronco Busting Rodeo Champion of Texas in 1979? Why not? So far he hasn't had to prove a single claim of his so called past.

Yeah, uhhhh, I graduated from Harvard, and Columbia, and Occidental, and Oxford, and I speak 4999 languages, and I invented gravity, and... Why not? Crazy world.

It might be called Constitutional Law now but I think it was closer to Community Organizing.

No, Obama earned his “magna cum laude” from Joe’s School of Bus Driving.

However, affirmative action stamped it as being from Harvard.

There is some proof that a person named Obama is president but there is no information that would stand up in court that that same person was a teacher or a student.

Yes I suspect Obama probably did slither out from under a rock and specifically the one in mecca.

“I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution.” The Bastard in the White House

While it is appropriate for students to refer to all their instructors as “professor,” it is a lie for someone who isn’t to call himself one. Professor, of whatever rank, normally means having gone through a national search. The bastard was an affirmative action hire. His credentials, other than his skin color, fell short of the standard. I’m not second guessing his being hired as a fellow, or as a lecturer, for whatever purpose the hiring served. But, to claim to be a professor not having been a professor is an insult to those who actually are professors.

Second, the bastard did not have to publish, and did not publish, in his field, subject to peer review. He was 12 years at the U of C Law School and he doesn’t have one law review article. What does that tell you? Well, to be kind, it tells you he wasn’t a professor and never had an expectation of becoming one. I am sure the U of C Law School would have loved to shift him over to professor, partly because of the color of his skin, but also because he was a very popular instructor.

Third, the bastard did not teach Constitutional Law, which is normally reserved for the most honored member of the faculty in the area of constitutional law, which person was Abner Mikva, a liberal Democrat. Mikva had been on the DC Circuit Court for years an associate judge and then as Chief Judge. During his tenure on the DC Circuit Court, Mikva wrote many decisions and engaged many clerks who went on to distinguished careers. As an academic, Abner Mikva wrote many Law Review articles. Obama taught an elective course - race and the law and, certainly, there were constitutional issues in that course, but he is lying to claim to have taught constitutional law.

You have to ask yourself how dangerous it is for our country to have a lying bastard as President, in addition to being a racist, Marxist left-wing radical. He claimed he supports the Constitution and that Bush didn’t, yet it was him who berated the members of the Supreme Court while delivering the State of the Union address, who interjected himself twice in criminal cases based on the color of the skin of the persons involved, and publicly questions the authority of the Supreme Court to overturn an unconstitutional act of Congress. God help this country if he is re-elected.
