Actually Palin's nomination got me a bit excited about politics, again. I was hoping to find more on BO then I did, and, what I did find just looks like he's the right place, right time, right appearance, suit and hope for affirmitive action dreams. He's handsome, speaks well, as does his wife, and, recognized the opportunity, and, is taking full advantage of it.
He's the world record holder for fund raising, and, he's also chased after by the University of Chicago Law School. Before ever teaching at CLS, he was given fellowship and office, for nothing more then working on his book.
"The publicity from his election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review led to a contract and advance to write a book about race relations.[21] In an effort to recruit him to their faculty, the University of Chicago Law School provided Obama with a fellowship and an office to work on his book.[21"
In other words, he's famous for being the first black president of the Harvard Law Review., and, that got him a paid position to work on his book, so he would publish the book, and, make himself more famous, by having a book out on how I was the first black president of the HLR.
Going to Bali to work on the book makes sense, since you can live like a king on such a fellowship in Bali.
So, in fact, BO was Paid fo CLS, for writing his book, for being the first black president of Harvard Law Review.
Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years, as a Lecturer for four years (1992–1996), and as a Senior Lecturer for eight years (1996–2004).
This appears to differentiate between lecturer, and professor. They appear to have a number of lecturers that aren't even in the Chicago area. Daniel Abebe
Assistant Professor of Law is the only full-time black faculty member. 1 black, 32 full time faculty.
In 1993 Obama joined Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland, a 12-attorney law firm specializing in civil rights litigation and neighborhood economic development, where he was an associate for three years from 1993 to 1996, then of counsel from 1996 to 2004, with his law license becoming inactive in 2002.[12][25]
Obama's campaign raised $58 million during the first half of 2007, of which "small" donations of less than $200 accounted for $16.4 million. The $58 million set the record for fundraising by a presidential campaign in the first six months of the calendar year before the election.[80] The magnitude of the small donation portion was outstanding from both the absolute and relative perspectives.[81] In January 2008, his campaign set another fundraising record with $36.8 million, the most ever raised in one month by a presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries.[82]...
[83] He again broke fundraising records in the first two months of 2008, raising over $90 million for his primary to Clinton's $45 million.[84] ....[86]
So, this guy comes in and DOUBLES the amount of money
Hildabest raises????
