“Then there are the two affairs in which Barack Hussein Obama II and Michelle Obama were compelled by the Illinois Supreme Court to surrender their Illinois licenses to practice law only a few years after receiving and using them.”
Untrue.

As for the credibility of the denials, it is virtually impossible to get the State of Illinois and the Illinois State Supreme court to outright disbar any attorney-at-law, no matter how heinous their crimes. Instead, they order the attorney to give up their license under threat of actually doing something more forceful, if tghe attorney is too dense to take the hint. When we looked at the Illinois State Supreme court Website in 2007-2008, you could see where the court ordered Michelle to in effect surrender her law license. While the details are complicated and intentionally vague and secretive to avoid embarassing the attorney being punished, it is in effect a form of disbarment, because the attorney cannot practice law. The rules also provide for an application for reinstatement, but the reality is the court will not approve any such requests for certain applicants punished for serious crimes. Thusly, appearances and plausible deniability are used to hide the ugly fact that the attorney committed serious crimes.
Anyone interested in the truth can find the truth independently by using the Internet search engines to look for Illinois attorneys accused of felonies and/or forced to stop practicing law. Some examples to be found are attorneys who committed murder, rape, and pedophilia. When you look up their Illinois State Supreme Court records for the status of their law licenses, you find the same types of carefully vague references to their law licenses being “voluntarily” surrendered. So, Snopes is actually putting the Obamas into the same category of attorneys who lost their law licenses as child rapists and murderers or attorneys who embezzled their clients’ damage awards.
