“Taking Professor Obama’s Class”
http://content.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1835238,00.html
I started reading post 315, and before I finished reading the first line I knew it was yours. I glanced down and indeed saw your name, so I skipped the rest. You are too predictable. You never write anything new, fresh or interesting. Your posts are stale, boring and shriveled as a prune. So you and your fellow Obama defenders are defending Obama...again. So what? It’s the same old routine, so very, very old.
You post not like an engaged, knowledgeable conservative but like a liberal who is doing a very poor job of trying to pass as a conservative. Your prior posts revealed that your alleged support of Palin is a sham. You have no idea what she stands for, or the implications thereof. As a fake conservative, you’re about as convincing as Obama is as a native Hawaiian...when he identifies HI as being located in Asia.
I’ll skip your link too. Your circling the wagons with other Obama defenders is a nonevent. What else would you no-lifers do? Yawn; you need a new act. The old one fell flat a long time ago.
I note the date of your article is 2008-09-10. That was about a week before it dawned on me that Crash McCain was a loser not a winner (actually, I knew it all along, but got my hopes up when he won the nomination and selected Sarah Palin as his VP), when he grand-standingly "suspended" his campaign to deal with the financial crisis. Palin was a good move, but not sufficient to fix stupid!
In your article, Richard Epstein is quoted, saying "When Obama grants audiences to adversaries, he's got this wonderful manner, cocks his head forward, always asks good questions. You always feel you've been heard out." But in the end, "he doesn't change his mind. He's surprisingly rigid, intellectually."
Obama was a faker, and the U of C fell for him. He was just a community organizer with an agenda affirmatively promoted wildly beyond his pay grade using the U of C as a platform to spread his BS.
As for adjunct professors, I actually knew a real one. He was a guy who, in between startups, taught full-time several years at a graduate school on the level of U of C Law. It was a very demanding job. I mean, here he was in a lecture hall full of students who had paid middle five-digit sums to be there. He needed to plan his intricate course content. He maintained office hours, where students could come to consult. But he was a talented, charismatic guy. In the end, he earned top ratings from the student rating survey, ranking in the top half-dozen, most of whom were tenure-track academics.
Of course, the professor gig was also rewarding. The salary was low six digits. But then there was the consulting ... E.g., there was the time a certain third-world enterprise paid him a middle five-digit sum plus first class expenses to fly half-way around the world and teach a one-day seminar on a hot topic for which he had established a reputation. When he got there, they even threw in his choice of local woman, but, being happily married, he declined (as far as I know).
My point is, not all adjunct professors are created equal. And Obama was the bottom of the barrel. He is a blot on the U of C Law School.
