For goodness’s sakes, of course Obama got into Harvard Law School based on AA and with the support of the Sutton family sponsoring him. He only has a basic degree with no honors, right??? How to get into Harvard Law like that???? Unless you have a powerful backer sponsoring you???

Come on, wake up.

Whether he is talented??? How to see if we can’t see his articles or transcripts??? From what I see his main talent is in conning people to support him with smooth lies and false promises. He can sense what you want, and will promise it to you in a way you are most gullible for. He is able to sense where our weaknesses and needs are and is able to exploit them for his own benefit.

There is no moral courage, integrity or truthfulness in this man. Just a lowdown cunning, a good ability to exploit others for his own gain. He is the ultimate conman.

And people who can’t sense this are just dumb, and will pay the price in due time.

11B40… “greetings back”, earthling… LOL

Per your own link:

Illinois Registration Status: Voluntarily inactive and not authorized to practice law – Last Registered Year: 1993

All this holds with what I said above.

So again, I ask… what’s your point?

“Rather, prior to 2000, attorneys who wanted to become inactive had to seek the permission of the IL Supreme Court, and that’s the court order being referred to. Since 2000, no such court order is necessary, but prior to 2000 it was. Further, I’m informed that if there were any sort of disciplinary action taken against her it would be listed on that page.”

My information is that Mrs. Obama’s license was “court revoked”. Here’s the link to what I found on the web: https://www.iardc.org/ldetail.asp?id=836764693

Missy, Bradford Berenson said that Obama’s election as PRESIDENT of the Harvard Law Review had nothing to do with affirmative action. This is exactly how I quoted him.

What Obama wrote was that his appointment to the law review itself (as opposed to the PRESIDENCY of the law review) “may have” been aided by affirmative action. Do you understand the distinction? First, you get appointed as a Law Review editor. Then, among all the editors, you are elected President. I urge everyone to read Berenson’s entire account of Obama’s law review days and compare them with the account of Carol Platt Liebau (the latter a very hard core conservative, in the Flopping Aces mold). Both conservatives are effusive in their praise.

Also, getting “affirmative action” at Harvard is nothing in the world like getting affirmative action at most state schools. It’s in a different orbit.

Are you suggesting that Harvard made a mistake in appointing Obama to the Law Review or that the students on the law review who elected him President made a mistake? Looks to me as if both knew what they were doing, by any objective standard.

Someone else called Barack Obama “thin skinned.” Where is the evidence for that? Berenson said that he was always cool and unflappable under pressure, and that’s certainly the way he’s come off, since entering into the public eye. Perhaps you were thinking of John McCain, whom everyone agrees is certifiably “thin skinned” in temperament.

What was interesting is that two different conservatives who knew Obama from his law review days were virtually identical in their praise of the man and his intellect and his leadership.

@openid.aol.com/runnswim:

Larry said; It wasn’t I who said there was “no affirmative action.”

It was Bradford Berenson, conservative Republican, serving as a Bush administration White House lawyer between 2001 and 2003, and also serving, with Barack Obama, on the Harvard Law Review, during Obama’s tenure.

So you didn’t say it but you keep posting the OPINION of Berenson as if that refutes the question of whether Obama was aided by AA in this appointment.

Even Obama claims he doesn’t know but Berenson does?

Looks like Obama made the papers the day after, interesting excerpt:

Until the 1970′s the editors were picked on the basis of grades, and the president of the Law Review was the student with the highest academic rank. Among these were Elliot L. Richardson, the former Attorney General, and Irwin Griswold, a dean of the Harvard Law School and Solicitor General under Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon.

That system came under attack in the 1970′s and was replaced by a program in which about half the editors are chosen for their grades and the other half are chosen by fellow students after a special writing competition. The new system, disputed when it began, was meant to help insure that minority students became editors of The Law Review.

I agree with Missy both Obama’s are thin skinned, neither can take even a hint of criticism and that will compound their downfall, the world will see two very psst off sore losers blaming everyone except themselves.

As I understand, it 11B40, Michelle Obama voluntarily surrendered her license in 1993 (about three years after passing the bar on her second attempt). Obama went inactive in 1997… conveniently, that did let him off of the hook for some traffic infractions left unaddressed.

But I fail to get why you think Michelle O’s fitness (or unfitness) to practice law has to do with anything? She wasn’t on the ballot, no one voted for her. She’s just baggage, or as we say in the biking world… “pack”.

If you’re suggesting she did something unethical, why would that surprise any of us? In fact, that *any* lawyer does something unethical would surprise no one.

But, still no interest in why the State of Illinois revoked Mrs. Obama’s license to practice law.
