"Obama arrived in Chicago in 1993 with a degree from Harvard Law School and was hired as a junior lawyer. Obama logged 3,723 billable hours during his tenure from 1993 to 2004, most of it during the first four years."

Let's do the math: 1961 to 1993 is 32 years. It takes 7 years after age 18 to get a law degree. That leaves 7 years of smoking dope in between. 3723 billable hours in four years. There's 9000 hours of 8 to 5 work in this time. This guy must have smoked a lot of dope.

four years. There's 9000 hours of 8 to 5 work in this time.

Given the way many, many lawyers round up each separate fraction of an hour as to "enhance" their revenue opportunities, there's probably more like 30,000 billable lawyer-hours of work in that "first four years". Such under-achieving brings to mind Geraldine Ferraro's affirmative-action-related comment. If Obama was a typical white person, his law firm probably wouldn't have kept him around very long, if he's billing less than a thousand hours per year in his busiest years.

He entered law school in 1988 at age 27 and got his JD degree in 1991—there was a two-year interval before he started at that law firm. Apparently that was mainly spent writing his first autobiography.

I am not a psychologist nor did I take psychology courses
in college.

Can someone tell me what type of person honestly believes he is entitled to anything he wants regardless of his qualifications or experience. He appears to be a master manipulator, he acts like the victim of victims when caught in a lie, and; it is always someone else’s fault or he was unaware of anything or anyone who ever said or did anything wrong if it involves him?
