REVEALED: Obama Was Not Constitutional Scholar… Here’s What He REALLY Did At Univ. Of Chicago
Tea Party ^ | Sllen West

Posted on 01/16/2016 6:59:37 PM PST by Enlightened1

I had to cringe during a particularly elitist remark that left Obama's mouth during his rteary town-hall on gun control; "I believe in the Second Amendment. It is there, written on the paper. It guarantees a right to bear arms. No matter how many times people try to twist my words around -- I taught constitutional law, I know a little bit about this -- I get it."

Well, a colleague of Obama's at the University of Chicago, economist John Lott quoted Obama as having told him that he doesn't believe that people should be able to own guns when the two worked together in the 1990s. So the belief in the Second Amendment is questionable, but lets turn to his second claim, that he taught constitutional law.

As Karin McQuillan at the American Thinker writes, that claim is deceptive:

Obama was never a professor; he was a lecturer. He did not have the qualifications to be a professor. Obama never published a single law paper. He was hired by the University of Chicago when they learned he had been given a book contract on race and law directly after graduating from Harvard. There was no book - just the contract, which he later reneged on. This is not the normal level of accomplishment for a University of Chicago professor or even lecturer.

So what did he teach at UChicago?

Obama did not specialize in the Constitution. Obama cared about and taught only one subject: race. One course was about race in the Constitution. It is on this flimsy basis that he attempts to pawn himself off as a constitutional scholar.

As the New York Times explains, Obama the lecturer taught three subjects only: "race, rights and gender."

I hear he once worked in an ice cream shop. Is that akin to being a paper hanger?

He was groomed for a number of years for the coup. That should scare everyone.

From the pictures I’ve seen, weed isn’t the only thing he was smoking.

If not a paper hanger, at least it would represent a hanger of dust ruffles above curtains that were made with matched fabric. bo-rock obomba = fake professor + fake American + fake president.

Obama cared about and taught only one subject: race.

And its still that way. He's been lecturing the USA on race since 2007, and brought his community organization to the DOJ.

Oh, so Obama is an expert on 15th Amendment voting rights.
