BOSTON - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama got more than an education when he attended Harvard Law School in the late 1980s. He also got a healthy stack of parking tickets, most of which he never paid.

The Illinois Senator shelled out $375 in January - two weeks before he officially launched his presidential campaign - to finally pay for 15 outstanding parking tickets and their associated late fees.

Someone may have some better info:

COLLEGE: LOS ANGELES, NEW YORK, BOSTON

Obama attended Occidental College in Eagle Rock, a northeastern suburb of Los Angeles, west of Pasadena, from 1979 to 1981. He lived in a dorm at Haines Hall his first year and off campus his second year.

In 1981, he transferred to Columbia University, at 116th Street and Broadway in New York City. A political science major, he received his bachelor's degree in 1983. He lived in several apartments, including at 622 W. 114th St. and 334 E. 94th St.

Obama was at Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Mass., from 1988 to 1991. He attended classes at Langdell Hall, played basketball in Hemenway Gymnasium and was elected the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. He lived in nearby Somerville, Mass., in an apartment at 365 Broadway.

CAREER AND POLITICS: CHICAGO

Interest in Obama sites in Chicago is so strong that the Chicago Convention and Tourism Bureau's Web site at http://www.choosechicago.com now showcases places where the Obamas eat and shop. They include Topolobampo, 445 N. Clark St. (upscale Mexican food); MacArthur's, 5412 W. Madison St. (soul food); and 57th Street Books, 1301 E. 57th St.

As a community organizer in the mid-1980s in Chicago, Obama spent a lot of time at the Altgeld Gardens projects at 130th Street on the South Side.

He returned to Chicago after earning his law degree, taught at the University of Chicago and eventually entered politics. He now lives with his family at 5046 S. Greenwood Ave., purchased for $1.65 million in 2005 in a historic district of the Kenwood area, an affluent, educated neighborhood on the South Side.

Obama gets his hair cut at the Hyde Park Hair Salon & Barber Shop, 5234 S. Blackstone Ave., and works out at the East Bank Club, 500 N. Kingsbury St. Favorite Obama family eateries include Pizza Capri, 1501 E. 53rd St., and Calypso Cafe, 5211 S. Harper Ave. The church the Obamas left due to controversial remarks by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright is Trinity United Church of Christ, 400 W. 95th St.

I would love to see 100 lawsuits/ethics violations filed against obozo and watch him handle the distractions. Some Sarah payback is coming in one form or another!

He must have thought he had diplomatic immunity, being a foreign student.
