Sweet: Obama did NOT "hold the title" of a University of Chicago law school professor. | |
2008-11-10 | |
"He did not hold the title of professor of law," said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the school, on East 60th St. in Chicago The U of C statement was posted on the school's website two days after the Clinton campaign issued a memo headlined "Just Embellished Words: Senator Obama's Record of Exaggerations & Misstatements." The memo was generated by the Clinton campaign as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) was put on the defensive for claiming incorrectly that she dodged sniper fire while First Lady when her plane landed in Bosnia. | |

#9 The only difference sometimes between "liar" and "lawyer" is in the spelling. |

#8 We don't know yet who "the Guy behind the Guy" is, but every sucessful Chicago politician has one, or more. They will get to feed at the trough first, and at a private seating. It's the Chicago Way, and I will try my best not to say "I told you so" to my non Chicago based friends. |

#7 He might have been an undergraduate status professor. He did teach at UC. Tenured status takes over 5 years. |

#6 I think its pretty clear Obama has been groomed for some time by a wealthy benefactor, who will dictate the payback. He has had quite an expensive education at elite schools, given opportunities few dare dream of. Same was said of Bill Clinton, a Rhodes scholar, and unlikely star as a son of a single mother from Arkansas. Rumors of a Rockefeller connection then also make sense now, considering the extensive family connections to Columbia, University of Chicago, etc. |

#1 No he did not officially hold the title of professor, and many within the University of Chicago system were not at all happy about his appointment, privilege, and status as a "guest lecturer." The question that should be asked is, precisely how did he get there? |
