Obama's Speech

[djnemo65]

Jsarno, that stuff is not true. I'm not going to go line by line and I hope no one else does, but here's an example. Obama is called a liar for referring to himself as a professor as opposed to a lecturer, which your author claims he actually was. However, according to the University of Chicago: 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 have 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. (FactCheck.org: Was Barack Obama really a constitutional law professor?)

Straight from the horse's mouth, but you are dealing with people who don't check facts that might get in the way of their arguments.

I just want to say that this is an important election between two distinct candidates with differing views for America, and it's a shame to see it once again digressing to the level of character assassination, and that goes for people on both sides (in fact, the previous accusation against Obama was first advanced by the Clinton camp). Instead of debating the issues we have to argue over whether or not Obama is secretly a Muslim. Still, doesn't say much for our people that these types of exaggerations and fabrications continue to be so successful.
