There is enough substantive things on which to criticize Obama, but apparently that's not enough...we have to always strive towards looney land on here. .
Glad to see someone admit this...care to list them for us, since anything listed before by conservatives or Republicans has been dismissed as outlandish. Coming from you, the left would probably allow them to stand.

Interesting that I caught your post before you edited that line out.

Actually Obama did use his law license for a short time. He was part of a law team which forced lenders, via lawsuit, to make sub-prime mortgage loans to minorities who could not afford them (1995).

Historically past Presidents have gone to extoaordiary lengths to attempt to keep their law licenses.
Clue: see Richard Nixon & Bill Clinton.

That is a nice try but he was 4 years into that one at the time so why did he wait so long?

They're not multi-branched individuals like Dick Cheney was.
What part of the Executive Branch does Michelle work for? Is she elected or appointed?

So one leaner reads and tells something out of context and the rest go wild. You didn't read it, though.

Some of it can be found there but not all of the story is in the heavy leaner JackMcCullough quote. Read all of that part and see if he is telling the whole story.

F*ck if I know. But I take it we agree that he probably didn't need to practice law in 2008? Or do you live in a world where US Senators run a lawyer practice on the side?

Roy, you have a magnificent chance to win the argument. Cite the part of the link you feel contradict jackmccullough's citation. Make a case, you know? But please stop the "if you disagree with me, you didn't read the link" schtick. It's getting tired. Particularly as you yourself don't feel obliged to read proffered links and have posted as much.

I would have had to go to school every 5 years for the whole 26 years I have been out of teaching and surely do know what you are saying about letting go because I am no longer employed.

Ok, now that I have admitted to feeling the pain I think it may be time to investigate this thing a bit further. It does seem a bit fishy that Michelle dropped her license and then took a position with that hospital that seemingly called for a lawyer and she wasn't one when she took the job. Preparation in school and owning a license would be necessary to keep the license and she didn't even have one at the time. Yep, there is a smell of fish in that part of the story especially the salary she was drawing there.
