BEAT THIS Westy with your moron trump
Obama’s Early Days at Harvard:
Obama first began class at Harvard University in 1988. Within his first year at the college, he was selected to be an editor for the
Harvard Law Review, based on his academic achievement and an impressive writing submission. The very next year, he made headlines as the first black president of the publication. His close peers at the time stated that he won the election because he was able to convince a crucial group of conservatives that if they voted for him, he would protect their interests. And these same communication skills would later be used to build up trust with communities in the South Side of Chicago.
As the first black president, the event was highly publicized and Obama received a lot of attention in the media. It was this attention that led him to land a job out of college.
Barack proudly ended his Harvard schooling with a J.D.
magna cum laude, when he moved to live in Chicago.
Obama’s Teaching Experience:
One reason folks are convinced he may go back to lecturing is that he already possesses extensive classroom experience. He was hired to teach at
University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. In 2004, he was elected to the United States Senate. The president has referenced this period of his life before in speeches and debates.
In fact, on the campaign trail, Obama referred to himself as a “constitutional law professor” and proclaimed that he knew more about the constitution than your average presidential candidate. This comment stirred up quite a bit of controversy as
Hillary Clinton pointed out that he never held that title. The controversy grew so large that the university officially released a
statement on the matter:
“The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as “Senior Lecturer.” From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School’s Senior Lecturers has high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.”
