Why so professorial?

(Newser) – When Sarah Palin told Tea Party activists last week that President Obama was "a professor of law standing at the lectern," she wasn't just tapping into populist anti-intellectualism—she was also making a not-so-subtle attack on the president's race. So says Harvard professor and longtime Obama pal Charles Ogletree, who tells Inside Higher Ed that calling Obama "the professor" is close to labeling him 'uppity.'"
Other slurs against Obama—left wing, socialist, palling around with terrorists—"were buzzwords. But the reality was they were looking at this president as an African American who was out of place,”

Sifting through every criticism of Obama and always finding it 'racist' is also a non-starter for most Americans. Obama's sycophants are only dividing their idol and the loony left that still supports him and the majority of Americans, which, as Obama's falling approval numbers show, is toxic. Definitely idiots...but they can't help themselves, this is who they are.
Yawn! Play variation number 98327 of the Race card. That is all they have.
Why so professorial?
calling him ‘President’ to me is code for uppity. He may have the title but he doesn’t have my respect
Correct. OTOH, his students rated him an excellent teacher and even a lecturer position at Chicago is extraordinarily prestigious.
Like most things in Zero's life, however, this was just about sticking around long enough to gain a resume point and then get bored and move on before his shallowness could become apparent.
Palin is right on target. Obama was never a “professor” and of course, could never be - and her derisive use of the term fits to a T. He simply is not very smart. Read any REAL law prof blog (easily findable at Instapundit) and find out what intelligent law types write.
As a retired educator, I’ve know many educated ‘idjits’ within the hallowed halls of the university system.
He's not an Afro-American. Let's start dispensing with that. Afro-Americans have been here since the beginning of the country and grew, and experienced good and bad along with everyone else.
0bama is something from someplace else, who-knows-where, who suddenly showed up with mysterious piviledges. He doesn't look especially pale, and that's all there is.
Here is why I am mystified..
Years ago, an Arab* friend of mine was shooting pool in a college rec room with a bunch of Black kids. One asked him if he was attending some Black cultural event later that day. He answered, "No..I am an Arab...Why would I?"
One of the kids broke his pool cue in half, said, "I'm not playing with a Honkie."
Why does Obama get a pass?
* He was very dark; His name began with "Ibn-", which I was told meant "Grandson of a slave".
You have to go to college to learn how to be that stupid.
I have officially heard it all now. Professor = uppity; what next? President = the “n” word?
Now that is a stretch. I guess saying anything at all is a racist comment.
More mind-reading from the fringe that Palin drives mad.
“Yep! I heard the same...someone factoided that along the way ...scratch’in head where that was published..hummm”

By his own definition.
"..Charles J. Ogletree (born December 31, 1952 in Merced, California) is Jesse Climenko Professor at Harvard Law School, the founder of the school's Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice, and the author of numerous books on legal topics..."
I see the author is a "distinguished" Race Pimp.
The way I see it is no matter what label/title given this man He and his administration have no clue whatsoever how to be effective as the top leaders of our country...the evidence is astounding in the US and moreso with International leaders who have zero respect for this Pres.....well, except for the thugocracies and even they are mocking him now.
This community organizer is sorely lacking in Presidential skills for the highest office in our land, and campaign organizers do not have skills to advise him rightly who at best can and do continue to market Bo only.
Things simply cannot get better as these lame brains attempt to “change” the face of our country while ignoring the public and their opinions...they have zero ears to hear and don’t want to...we are not their priority...they are and this plays out every day.
Actually, Obama never was a college professor. He was just a lecturer.

They can't admit that all she was saying that his experience is having been a college professor.
Which is a stretch in it's self, all he ever really was is a community organizer.
Then the Chicago/Crime/Mob/Machine tapped him for Present of The United States.
Now their guy is there doing their bidding.
Well, along with Marx/Alinsky/Emmanuel/Chavez/Etc bidding.
