Just one more thing to add to the “Great List of Deceit.....
Big Surprise
Consider this:
1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a “lawyer”. He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order to escape charges he lied on his bar application. NOTE: Click on "lawyer" to see the actual documents.
2. Michelle Obama “voluntarily surrendered” her law license in 1993.
3. So, we have the first black President and First Lady — who don’t actually have licenses to practice law. Facts. Source: http://jdlong.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/pres-barack-obama-editor-of-the-Harvard-law-review-has-no-law-license/
4. A senior lecturer is one thing... A fully ranked law professor is another. Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law professor at the University of Chicago .
5. The University of Chicago released a statement in March, 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) “served as a professor” in the law school—but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008.
6. “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 University of Chicago School of Law . Source: http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/03/sweet_obama_did_hold_the_title.html
7. The former Constitutional senior lecturer cited the US Constitution the other night during his State of the Union Address. Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of Independence … not the Constitution.
8. The B-Cast posted the video: http://www.breitbart.tv/did-obama-confuse-the-constitution-with-the-declaration-of-independence/
9. Free Republic: In the State of the Union Address, President Obama said: “We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal….
10. Um, wrong citing, wrong founding document there Champ, I mean Mr. President. By the way, the promises are not a notion, our founders named them unalienable rights. The document is our Declaration of Independence and it reads:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
11. And this is the same guy who lectured the Supreme Court moments later in the same speech???
When you are a phoney it's hard to keep facts straight.
Pres. Barack Obama – Editor of the Harvard Law Review– Has No Law License???May 15, 2009 by Johnny Alamo
I saw a note slide across the #TCOT feed on Twitter last night that mentioned Michelle Obama had no law license. This struck me as odd, since (a) she went to school to be a lawyer, and (b) she just recently held a position with the University of Chicago Hospitals as legal counsel — and that’s a pretty hard job to qualify for without a law license.
But being a licensed professional myself, I knew that every state not only requires licensure, they make it possible to check online the status of any licensed professional. So I did, and here’s the results from the ARDC Website:
She “voluntarily surrendered” her license in 1993. Let me explain what that means. A “Voluntary Surrender” is not something where you decide “Gee, a license is not really something I need anymore, is it?” and forget to renew your license. No, a “Voluntary Surrender” is something you do when you’ve been accused of something, and you ‘voluntarily surrender” you license five seconds before the state suspends you.
Here’s an illustration: I’m a nurse. At various times in my 28 years of nursing I’ve done other things when I got burned out; most notably a few years as a limousine driver; even an Amway salesman at one point. I always, always renewed my nursing license — simply becuase it’s easier to send the state $49.00 a month than to pay the $200, take a test, wait six weeks, etc., etc. . . I’ve worked (recently) in a Nursing Home where there was an 88 year old lawyer and a 95 year old physician. Both of them still had current licensures as well. They would never DREAM of letting their licenses lapse.
I happen to know there is currently in the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City Indiana an inmate who is a licensed physician, convicted of murder when he chased the two burlars who entered his home and terrorized his family into the street and killed them. (And I can’t say I blame him for that, either.) This physican still has an active medical license and still sees patients, writes prescriptions, etc all from inside the prison. And he renews his medical license every two years, too. I tried looking up why she would “Voluntarily surrender” her licese, but Illinois does not have it’s 1993 records online.
But when I searched for “Obama”, I found this:
“Voluntarily retired” — what does that mean? Bill Clinton hung onto his law license until he was convicted of making a false statement in the Lewinsky case and had to “Voluntarily Surrender” his license too.
This is the former editor of the Harvard Law Review who doesn’t seem to give a crap about his law license.
Something else odd; while the Search feature brings up the names, any searches for the Disciplinary actions ends quickly.As in, Too Quickly. Less than a half-second quickly on a Search Engine that can take five seconds to Search for anything.As in, “there’s a block on that information” kind of thing.
So we have the first Lawyer President and First Lady —who don’t actually have licenses to practice law. There’s more to this story, I’m sure. I’ll let you know when I find it.
Clealy the person who typed on the teleprompter made the mistake. Obama simply read what was typed. We can't expect him to correct the script as he reads it in front of the entire Nation! Come on. He is only 50% human - and part deity. He is not 100% deity for crying out loud.
ReplyDeleteI don't defend him very much however, he did not directly quote the Declaration of Independence.He is correct in saying that the Constitution does guarantee equality and/or "equal protection". It is in the 14th amendment often referred to as the "Equal Protection Clause"
ReplyDeleteWhat does our President being a lawyer or not being a lawyer have to do with ANYTHING. This is what we call "grasping at straws"
ReplyDeletelisten folks: this just goes along with everything else about this guy. He is a fraud. He probably received financial aid as a foreign national which is why he has not released his college transcripts. THe other day after that pathetic first pitch he was asked as a white sox fans who is your favorite white sox..He could not answer one, not even one player. Ozzie guillen the manager,someone. He is an absolute fraud. Some of you give him a pass because the speech writer or teleprompter made the error but that is exactly the point, everything this man does or says is focus group tested and scripted. When he gets off script, he is a gaff amchine almost as bad as Biden. Joe the plumber and the beer summit with the "stupid" cop were off script moments. The curtain has been pulled back on the wizard.
ReplyDelete11:33 -- I don't believe anyone is 'grasping at straws'. Lying is lying and He does it so well!!
ReplyDeleteIn Maryland, when you stop practicing medicine or dentistry you are required to "give up" your license. How do I know this: first hand!

ReplyDeleteNot being a lawyer isn't the issue , the fact that he lies ,
makes false statements and is just a pure idiot is the issue. The cotton gin screwed up his career.
More curious is who funded his Law School and early career. Follow the turban.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are as dumb as a bag of doorknobs.
ReplyDeleteRe the ins and out of professional licensing. There is a cost (sometimes a significant cost) to maintaining an active professional license AND memberships (often multiple memberships) in associated professional organizations that go hand in hand with the license. This can easily run from hundreds to thousands of dollars in total.
If you are just teaching or lecturing occasionally, and are not actively PRACTICING LAW BEFORE THE COURT the necessity to maintain that license (and absorb the substantial costs involved) are open to question.

ReplyDeleteGrasping at straws?
Tell us what you know about Barack Obama's or Barry Soetoro or whatever aliases he's had in the past?
What was his GPA in college?
Who paid the tuition?
Where's his birth certificate?
But being a licensed professional myself". Is this a copied story or original? Just wasn't sure what professional license you currently hold.
ReplyDeleteNot grasping at straws!!! Just shows what a fake and liar he is.

ReplyDeleteNo, this is just another example of Obama lying. He wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and slapped him in the face.
Get a life.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't cast a vote for Obama to be the town dog catcher but this is a non-story. The chances of either Obama ever practicing law again are nil. To maintain the professional licensing is a headache, likely requires yearly continuing education, and in the Obamas' case, exposes them to nuisance liability with respect to whatever activities they undertake not directly related to the practice of law. I would go inactive or surrender my license too in their situation.
ReplyDeleteBill Clinton, Richard Nixon, John Kennedy, just to name a few didn't give up their law license. Obama has many secrets in his past and lives a life of lies.
ReplyDeleteHe has been elected President, but could not qualify for any job in government or the private sector that would require a full security background check for a secret clearance. Kind of scary, for he is in charge of the security of our Nation.
ReplyDeleteAnd his decisions on National security in the last couple of days may end up hurting our Country.
So he's not practicing law anymore? Is that really a news story? He's the Pres of the US not the mayor of Salisbury, he doesn't have time for a 2nd job. And is being a lawyer a prereq to be president? Reagan was an actor first, and he wasn't making flicks after moving into the white house. If you wanna criticize Obama for something legit by all means I can understand it, but this is just silly.
