Good Old New Jersey Corruption

Where are you even getting that he requested inactive status? It doesn't say anything like that. You are just repeating Sylow. At least credit him in your posts with citation.

Perhaps you should post your evidence that Obama lied about passing the bar and surrendered his law license. Or, you can keep being completely full of ***.

That psych 98 class you took must work wonders on the mouth-breathers you associate with, but it doesn't work on me. You're wrong, proven by multiple people with multiple sources. K thx bye.

Hard to say with such a secretive man tbh. I supposed when someone inexplicably surrenders their law license, people will supply their own motives. Can you definitively tell me why he did with evidence?

He did surrender his license.

what does "voluntarily retired and unauthorized to practice law" mean to you?

He did surrender his license.

So despite having zero evidence you all have also supplied Obama with his own motive for surrendering his law license. I won't call you out on your hypocrisy. I really won't.

Obama arrived in Chicago in 1993 with a degree from Harvard Law School and was hired as a junior lawyer at the firm then known as Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Gallard. He helped represent clients in civil and voting rights matters and wrongful firings, argued a case before a federal appellate court, and took the lead in writing a suit to expand voter registration.

But the firm also handled routine legal matters and real estate. Obama spent about 70% of his time on voting rights, civil rights and employment, generally as a junior associate. The rest of his time was spent on matters related to real estate transactions, filing incorporation papers and defending clients against minor lawsuits.

In one instance, Obama defended a nonprofit corporation that owns low-income housing projects against a lawsuit in which a man alleged that he slipped and fell because of poor maintenance. Obama got the suit dismissed.

In another case, Obama appeared on behalf of a nonprofit corporation that provided healthcare for poor people. A woman who claimed income of less than $8,000 a year had sued Obama's client to obtain a $336 payment for baby-sitting services; Obama's client paid up, and the case was settled.

In 1994, Obama appeared in Cook County court on behalf of Woodlawn Preservation & Investment Corp., defending it against a suit by the city, which alleged that the company failed to provide heat for low-income tenants on the South Side during the winter.

Those were not the cases Obama highlighted in the self-portrait drawn in his first memoir, "Dreams From My Father."

"In my legal practice," he wrote, "I work mostly with churches and community groups, men and women who quietly build grocery stores and health clinics in the inner city, and housing for the poor."

Obama had made a name for himself at Harvard, where he was the first African American president of the law review. That accomplishment generated press accounts and prompted Judson Miner, head of the firm that bears his name, to recruit Obama. Obama took time to complete "Dreams From My Father," then joined the 13-attorney firm.

"He was doing the work that any first-year or second-year associate would do," Miner said. "In litigation, he was doing basic research and writing memos. . . . In the first couple years he would play a very minor role. He wouldn't know [much], so he would take the lead from whoever was supervising his work."

He did have some noteworthy cases. Among them, Obama filed a major 1995 suit that successfully forced Illinois to enforce the 1993 federal Motor Voter law, which sought to make it easier for people to register to vote.


Obama took what Miner called the "laboring oar" on some cases. He took the lead arguing a 1994 case before the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of a securities trader who had been improperly fired. The court ruled for his client.

so one case? lol

It says all he did was research. It mentions one court appearance. Sounds like a paralegal.

Why not? You have lied about everything else, why not keep lying? Obama did not surrender his license, he did not lie in order to pass the bar. He was a college professor. He is a legally certified lawyer, listed as inactive. You can choose not to believe it, it doesn't mean anything.

Not all or even most of lawyers are litigators.

I said I got it already. He was an unaccomplished lawyer that was left to doing research for the real lawyers. He later surrendered his law license to enter the political machine in Chicago. Everyone that gives a lecture in a classroom is now a Professor thanks to Obama. I said I got it.

I'm pretty sure that was already the case.

So in summary, Obama had a law license but wasn't a lawyer, was granted professor status by an accredited institution but wasn't a professor, was not qualified to be President despite being President for 4 years, and spawned the concept of partisanship even before he was elected. Damn, this guy is bad news.

Or, we can just accept what we already know and move on. Bush Jr. and Obama are both jokes. Case closed.

He's talking about the popularity of false equivalence. One bad thing = another bad thing only if you're mentally lacking. Not all errors are created equal and they shouldn't be viewed as such by default.
