Chicago Law Prof on Obama: "The Professors Hated Him because he was Lazy, Unqualified & Never Attended any of the Faculty Meetings"
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 10:13 PM
The highest tenured faculty member at Chicago Law spoke out on Barack Obama saying, “Professors hated him because he was lazy, unqualified, never attended any of the faculty meetings.”
Doug Ross reported this and more:
I spent some time with the highest tenured faculty member at Chicago Law a few months back, and he did not have many nice things to say about “Barry.” Obama applied for a position as an adjunct and wasn’t even considered. A few weeks later the law school got a phone call from the Board of Trustees telling them to find him an office, put him on the payroll, and give him a class to teach. The Board told him he didn’t have to be a member of the faculty, but they needed to give him a temporary position. He was never a professor and was hardly an adjunct.
The other professors hated him because he was lazy, unqualified, never attended any of the faculty meetings, and it was clear that the position was nothing more than a political stepping stool. According to my professor friend, he had the lowest intellectual capacity in the building. He also doubted whether he was legitimately an editor on the Harvard Law Review, because if he was, he would be the first and only editor of an Ivy League law review to never be published while in school (publication is or was a requirement).
This photo of Barack Obama teaching in Chicago was posted in February 2008 at PrestoPundit. In this class Barack Obama was teaching his students the principles of Saul Alinsky. Notice the flow chart indicating the flow of money and power out of productive businesses (“CORP”) and into the political class (“MAYOR”):
The heading at the top reads “POWER ANALYSIS”. The sub-heading reads “RELATIONSHIPS BUILD ON SELF INTEREST”. The symbol on the arrow between “CORP” and “MAYOR” is the “$” sign.
Saul Alinsky came up with the idea of power analysis, which looks at relationships built on self-interest between corporations, banks and utilities. Barack Obama was teaching students in Chicago the Alinsky Principles.
Of course, this is not a surprise. After watching the bribes, kickbacks, lies and threats this past year as Democrats fought to take over the health care industry, it’s obvious that the only subject Obama excels at is Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals.
More… Isn’t it a bit odd that the only photo we’ve seen of Obama teaching, he’s explaining the Alinsky principles?

Well now we know that
1) He was not the editor of the Harvard Law Review.
2) He is lazy and has no intellect. HHmmmm Where have we heard that before?

Can’t Obama just use the US Presidency as a stepping stone to another job, like Secretary General of the UN? Or King of Europe?I don’t really care, just as long as we don’t have to deal with him any more

It sounds like a good description of Obama. All he does is read on his teleprompter.

Actually Obama WAS an editor for the Harvard Review.
He just isn’t remembered for actually DOING ANYTHING other than being an editor of color.
Which, in liberal circles, was really all that was required.

Ok, so where were these guys during the election? Why didn’t they come forward to let everyone know about the deficeincies of the annointed one?
If this were to have come out during the election, we may not have Barry in the White House right now!!!!
People like this really tick me off! They could have spared us this type of misery!

(I recall, before the election, reading fellow Law Review students complain that all he’d do was show up every now and then, shoot the breeze and then take off. They did all the work.)

Glockfixer has a valid point.However, Iam inclined no one from the “fourth estate” bothered to interview these profs and/or the students who worked with Obama on the Harvard Educational Review.Moreover, by omission Obama would be saved the microscope of his abilities and industry to teaching and editorial obligations.
Voting present so many times as a junior senator and not prepared for his duties was clearly his forte.

So what is new? We have the same thing now, just a continual campaign……..for all those intellectuals that voted for him, how is that working for you? I think you all should apologize to your children and their furture children……it was all about you, never the future generation. For the first time in my 63 years, I am having trouble being “proud” of my country, and before you all get in a snit and call me racist, I am a very smart black woman, and I voted for McCain, or actually Palin.
Bob White commented:
Yeah this doesn’t seem very credible. Doug Ross really spoke to “highest tenured faculty member at Chicago Law” then why not just use the persons name? Seems like it would be easy enough to figure out who that is. Also have you done any follow up to call the school, find out who this person is and ask them directly if they actually said these things? It’s not as if you or Doug don’t have a motive for discrediting the President, and it contradicts everything everyone who knew him and spoken about him liberal or conservative has said about him on the record. He’s obviously an exceptionally smart guy, it seems that because of your political beef with him you can’t even give him that. Seems very childish to me. Why not just stick to the merits of your argument on the issues?

[The University of Chicago released a statement on Thursday saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) “served as a professor” in the law school—but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed on Friday.
“He did not hold the title of professor of law,” said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in

One lesson I learned from working the streets for years was that nothing in life happens by accident. Especially in politics.
I guarantee somewhere in the process the somebody was asked to look after “Barry” because of the kid’s friendship and raw talent.

Corelli commented:
What Alinsky did was to use Hitler’s takeover of Germany as a blueprint. The attack on the Catholics fits right into this scenario. See “The Wages of Destruction-the Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy” by Adam Tooze, published by Viking. Remember, George Soros, who worked with the Nazis in Hungary from the ages of 14 -17, I believe, says that is when he learned his most important lessons. Soros said recently he was upset with the fact that Obama had not nationalized the banks.
The Obama situation at the Harvard Law Review was posted online during the campaign, as was some background on him at Chicago.

I searched, and discovered at Wiki: “The Board of Trustees oversees the long-term development and plans of the University and manages fundraising efforts, and is composed of 50 members including the University President.” Evidently the current chairman is a banker, Albert Alber, but I couldn’t find out other Board of Trustees’ members. (Wouldn’t you think it would be public information??)

You know, I once worked out an alien species for a role playing game. And they have this meritocratic system that everyone, who wants to become a politician, has to serve at least 50 years in the military (they tend to get 300 years old.)
I like that idea by now.
You know, China, back in the imperial days, had a meritocratic government. Anyone could be a civil servant. Anyone. As long as he’d pass the necessary tests. The positions were not inherited, but rather achieved by working hard.
China then had ~20,000 civil servants. Impressive, because China, even back then, was HUGE and they had no computers and phones. In comparison: Austria today has ~200,000 civil servants, despite computers and phones.
I’m becoming more and more supportive of a meritocratic society. You want something? You work for it. Period.

Bob White (#22): “It’s not as if you or Doug don’t have a motive for discrediting the President, and it contradicts everything everyone who knew him and spoken about him liberal or conservative has said about him on the record. He’s obviously an exceptionally smart guy.”
Really, Bob? “Contradicts everything everyone who knew him and spoken about him liberal or conservative has said about him on the record”? You overcompensated since you and others that support this guy simply ignore anything that contradicts your idolatry for him, like this piece from Doug Ross. The conservatives that have praised him for his supposed intellect come across to me as overcompensating, too, as they don’t want to be portrayed as haters or racists by his supporters or the media.
“He’s obviously an exceptionally smart guy”? Is he? Is it more that you want that to be true and it fits the narrative put forth by his supporters as a reaction to George W. Bush, whom those same Obama supporters pounded on each and every day as being stupid? I don’t see this magnificent intellect like many of the Obama sycophants do. All I see is an individual that is in way over his head and has little leadership abilities. We don’t even know what kind of student he was, which would at least provide some indication of his intellectual heft, since he has never released his college transcripts. In my opinion, his only notable skill is his ability to get in with the “right” group of people, which have helped him advance his career and himself.
I serve as an instructor at a well-known four-year university and I interact with “exceptionally smart” people each and every day (i.e., college faculty with PhDs), so I know the world of academia fairly well. Obama undoubtedly received evaluations from students and/or other faculty regarding his teaching effectiveness. Not surprisingly, he hasn’t released those either. For someone like me, who would release all of his transcripts and his teaching evaluation results the day that I announced my candidacy for any political office, it’s difficult not to see the guy as trying to hide something. His performance in office so far obviously illustrates that he lacks the requisite background (e.g., executive-level positions, private sector experience, etc.) and that he’s in way over his head. He then compensates for this fact by outsourcing his leadership responsibilities to the House and Senate or by acting aloof and arrogant while steamrolling the opposition instead of building consensus and persuading the opposition to support his preferred policies. Of course, he spends most of his time doing the thing he does best – i.e., public speaking with an overreliance on a teleprompter. The result has usually been that support among the public for the policy that he’s touting actually ends up dropping or not moving one way or another. But you and the rest of the Obama supporters keep believing this guy is “exceptionally smart” and that he actually belongs in that office, if it assuages some of your guilt for putting this guy in power.
Slappy commented:

Dbags fall for anything, too, which explains why you and a bunch of other mental midgets voted for Obama. As for “impossible to fact check,” not really for a reporter who wanted to find out the truth. Or are you accusing Doug Ross of simply making up the source? Well, even if the source is not credible, that still doesn’t explain why Obama’s academic background and teaching background are still hidden from public scrutiny, does it?
Why don’t you tell us what Obama’s grades were in college? How about his teaching evaluations? Good luck since he’s hiding them, yet you and the rest of morons think he’s brilliant because you want him to be. Talk about “falling for anything.”

Not really considering the expected extreme negative reaction from those that regularly defend Obama, including likely other faculty members at Chicago Law. Nonetheless, as I wrote earlier, let’s assume the source (i.e., “The highest tenured faculty member at Chicago Law”) is completely made up. Where are Obama’s college transcripts, teaching evaluations, scores on standardized tests (e.g., SATs), etc.? What is he scared of? If he’s so brilliant and “an exceptionally smart guy,” why won’t he release all of this info about his academic performance? Also, where are all the positive comments from students and faculty members about his performance as an instructor? I’ve only seen a few of these over the years provided in a puff piece by the New York Times during the 2008 campaign. With the number of students and faculty members with whom he interacted over that period of time, there should be many of these individuals that could share their views on him. Why do many choose not to? Could it be that Obama was so uninvolved or nondescript as an instructor instead of a brilliant educator that there really is nothing to say? Or that their observations are primarily negative? These are the questions that should be asked because I despise charlatans pretending they’re something they are not, which basically diminishes the efforts and accomplishments of real scholars.

With Obama as “President (?)” I would not enlist and if he had been elected during my time in service I would have taken the first opportunity to leave the service because I fail to see a leader of the American people in this person.

Who cares? So he used them as a stepping stone. All of you would do the same to achieve a particular goal. He’s now POTUS. What have you achieved? And, look, I defended Bush against the same attacks. It takes a heck of a lot of work and talent to become POTUS. [Of course the Supreme Court helped Bush get there - but nonetheless].

Who was the political “genius” who dragged the election into the courts in the first place?
It’s just sour grapes that Gore’s little strategy backfired on him.
wanumba commented:
And it seems it was the irate Clinton who boxed Gore’s ears for conceding, so Gore was dragged back to the phones to un-concede.

You know, I once worked out an alien species for a role playing game. And they have this meritocratic system that everyone, who wants to become a politician, has to serve at least 50 years in the military (they tend to get 300 years old.)
I like that idea by now.

Frank Marshall Davis- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Marshall_Davis
That is the key to this whole thing. Davis made is name in Chicago, created a core group of friends and supporters. He makes friends with Obama’s granddaddy and then Obama. Either he recognized Obama’s raw talent, or was just looking out for the kid. How else to you explain his movements? Kansas, Hawaii, Indonesia, then to New York, Harvard and then Chicago? Why Chicago? Why not stay in New York or go to California where the nuts in the trees are only exceeded by the nuts running around.
Then there was his first election-
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/29/obamas.first.campaign/index.html
where he used trickery to defeat a well known and well liked female democrat.
He isn’t that smart and had to have someone’s blessing to do it.

Politics and elections are fueled by perception, not facts. Even if this story is shaky, plenty of people will believe it if they keep having to deal with a stumbling economy and an arrogant, tone-deaf Congress. The bogus birther nonsense is fueled by Obama acting as if he didn’t particularly like his own country while at the same time presiding over a shambles of a government.
As Jimmy Carter once said, “Life is unfair.”
Michel commented:
The only people who will believe it are people who would never vote from him anyway because he’s a Kenyan Muslim working for the Trilateral Commission.
Iconoclast commented:
I’ve always contended that the lack of any sort of written record of 0bozo’s tenure at the Harvard Law Review was a sure indicator of him being naught but the affirmative action symbol Harvard put in place for some unknown reason. From that, subsequent employment as an ACORN “community organizer” is far below the prestigious positions of clerking for a prominent court or serving as a prosecutor in some major jurisdiction clearly demonstrates he was purely an non-entity token.
Nevertheless, I would not accept these charges absent someone with the credentials and spine to make these allegations on the record. Just too pat and too easily discredited.
This buffoon is 99% fraud and 1% packaging, but the legacy media still controls what most of the public hears about the charlatan.
RickS commented:
I’m just shocked that someone from the NY Times or CBS didn’t break this story back in early 2008. I mean surely some intrepid reporter would be interested in breaking the story that the Obama is actually a lazy incompetent with no experience really doing anything and is completely unqualified to be president. Isn’t ferreting out that kind of important information the job of professional journalists? …..OK, I’m just kidding. Had you going there didn’t I?

Well, then, it’s a damned good thing we didn’t elect Doug Ross to POTUS, isn’t it? It’s too bad you morons didn’t ask those same questions, or at least the first one, before electing Obamao to be your prezdint.

Doug Ross reported this and more…
I must be the only one here who clicked on the link and read the whole story as Doug Ross wrote it because I seem to be the only one who knows why the faculty member(s) aren’t named, why the faculty members’ accounts weren’t reported by the lamestream media before the 2008 elections, why Doug Ross didn’t break the story before, etc. Especially aggravating are those who immediately discredit the story, using the questions I list here, without checking the source for the answers.
In short, there are over 120 comments here posted mainly by people who didn’t read the story and therefore have no clue about that which they’re commenting. Brilliant.
Liberty commented:
This site is frequented by white trash, redneck degenerates. I just revel in the pain and frustration that all you inbred, uneducated cretins are experiencing by having a black Democrat as President. Your archaic, and in some cases, racist views reveal the depth of your stupidity and absurdity of your obsolete mentality. The days of the angry white man are over. The South will never rise again and with its demise, so falls the republican party. It has become the party of racists, white trash and fascists. Stew in your own venom, you swine are finished. HAHAHA.
Michel commented:
“Especially aggravating are those who immediately discredit the story, using the questions I list here, without checking the source for the answers.”
There is no source, just a vague claim of it being a faculty member.
AuntieMadder commented:
Yes, Michel, and why is that? Did you actually go read it? Or are you just hanging on to that like a dog with a bone?

Liberty, you’re an idiot. It’s apparent in your stereotyping of the readers here. You don’t have a clue who the readers of the blog are. Hell, for that matter, neither do I as only a small portion of Gateway Pundit’s readership post comments. Idiot.
Michel commented:

Nope, just exercising due diligence when something looks fabricated.
DCRINAZ commented:
What is very disturbing about this report is that they say the source is a “highest tenured faculty member at Chicago Law” yet does not name this official. What is more disturbing is that many narrow-minded, ignorant Americans who are biased against the president will take this unsubstantiated rumor and proffer it as proof. Who is this faculty member? What test did he take of Mr. Obama so that he could verify that Mr. Obama was “the lowest intellectual capacity in the building,” which besides being expressed in very poorly worded English, not worthy of a Law professor, would be troublesome if true, because if President Obama is not very intelligent, his recent meetings with Republicans have definitely shown them to be far less capable than he.
All this report tells me is that the writers are unreliable, rumor-mongering slandering liars. This article says more about authors’ lack of ethics and lowness than it does about the President. We can see he is intelligent, far more than most people. And it must stick in the white-boy craw of these writers that any black man is far more intelligent than they are and President of the United States to boot.

re: “The Professors Hated Him because he was Lazy,
Unqualified & Never Attended any of the Faculty Meetings”
i believe it’s true..
however brilliant he may be at executing orders, i believe Obama believes work revolves around him.. same holds true today: Obama is a “do as i say, not as i do organizer”.. the only thing he seems to know how to lead are his sheep dogs orders..
Obama wasn’t a professor either..

Michel commented:

You people just keep repeating each other’s nonsense … whose orders is he executing so brilliantly? Al Kaida? The International Marxist Muslim Council?
Bill z commented:
You have to read everything said about Obama very closely. He was not “editor” of the Harvard Law Review he was “president”.
Not sure what the President of HLR does but my guess is it is an elected position perhaps one created for BO.
Michel commented:

Why do you need to guess? As soon as people like you find something that reinforces their prejudices they don’t even bother to check anything.
Sheeple anybody?
“BOSTON, Feb. 5— The Harvard Law Review, generally considered the most prestigious in the country, elected the first black president in its 104-year history today. The job is considered the highest student position at Harvard Law School.”

on obama
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

Douglas commented:
To everyone wants to know how we could have been so mislead into thinking Mr. Obama was a good choice to lead our country. Who were you expecting to tell you the truth? In fact, it is hard to believe Mr. Obama has not been taken to task by the MSM following the scrutiny and criticism they leveled at George W. Bush. The MSM is certainly not giving us the information. Back in 2003 Bernard Goldberg wrote about the bias in media and illustrated how we are being mislead and misinformed and there are myriad other sources making the same claim.
We Americans are too absorbed in our own little worlds to care about what is going on in our own government let alone in the rest of the world. It is critical that each of us scrutinize popular opinion and do our own evaluation of the facts instead of just following the flow. Too many Americans have insufficient knowledge of our constitution and are subsequently unaware of the threats to the liberty it was constructed to protect.
There seems to be a plot taking shape to discredit, smear and demonize any thought or idea which is not in agreement with popular opinion. This tactic is a way to overcome resistance to unpopular ideas. The answer is to become more aware of the reality and invest some energy in becoming informed. Be on the look out for attempts to control or restrict unpopular thoughts and ideas. If we loose the freedom of speech and ideas, it will mean a rapid death to our republic and the freedoms our country was founded on.
Too much of our financial sector, business sector and now our health care system have been taken over by our government. Cap and trade will extend governmental control into every aspect of our lives. The constitution doesn’t give our government the authority to take control of the means to generate wealth, dictate the redistribution of wealth and mandate how a private citizen should handle their income. It is happening because we don’t really see how these policies are in contradiction to our constitution and jeopardize our liberty. Read the constitution and look for any power given to our government to control business, industry, health care, the environment or the financial sector.

I agree this is so sad what our world is coming to i was just recently reviewing the health care bill that just came out, and well basically it was all a big bluff it contains so many discriminates that i don’t even know were to start. For instance he specifically singled out certain states for certain benefits due to something completely unrelated. God help America. but is encouraging to see i am not the only person with a perspective.
