I said courtroom experience, experience with an agency, etc. - meaning various types of practical experience. Being as you are such a big advocate of reading comprehension, you might want to pay attention to relevant details yourself. And of course, as an attorney, you obviously know that most lawyers are not litigators.

As far as what Obama brought to the classroom, this is an interesting read about it.

Did you know he was President?

Yeah, you said courtroom experience. That's why I asked you what courtroom experience he had. But all right, do tell: what other practical, non-courtroom experience did he have?

You could always fact check his education background if you don't believe Wikipedia, but it is accurate.

Really? As a Mechanical Engineer in the Aerospace field I am far more conservative than not, and take nothing on Faith and everthing on Science. As do most all of my colleagues.
