I researched for you, to save you the trouble....
In 1991, Obama graduated from Harvard Law School where he was the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review. The following is an explanation of the school and of its Law Review selectees.
I’m a law school nerd and watched Obama speech with a friend who asked me what it really means to be Editor-in-Chief of Harvard Law School, one of the credentials that I find most indicative of Obama’s intellectual horsepower.
Every year around 7,500 people apply to Harvard Law School. Roughly 560 students matriculate with, on average, a 3.8 undergrad GPA and a 99th percentile LSAT score. After 1L year studying legal theory, around 40 of the best students are appointed to Harvard Law Review based on their first year grades and writing. Law Reviews are highly competitive student run scholarly journals considered mandatory by many for high-end legal careers. For the 7% that make it on to Law Review, 2L year is more legal theory plus highly detailed editing of emerging legal scholarship pending publication in the journal. At the end of 2L year, one member of Law Review is elected to be the next year’s Editor-in-Chief by the existing members. The Editor-in-Chief then runs the process of producing the next year’s editions of the journal. Since 1887, 121 people have been appointed Editor-in-Chief of Harvard Law Review. There were more than 7,000 Rhodes Scholarships granted during the same period.
Ne’r do wells claim that he was an affirmative action appointee, not so, they don't do that there, my brother the lawyer told me so. We KNOW that John McCain graduated at the very bottom of his class, as you bragged about in your post. Brain comparison, I know which brain I want choosing things for my nation, the one that has been exercised and kept shiney and new and smoothly functioning.
McCain has a record of 1,800 pages of medical problems (your words) and Obama IS just fine and so, that explains the difference in medical records, you cantackerous writer, you.
Annenberg Challenge: What the challenge was and who got the money for Chicago and how Obama helped to direct its spending and further fundraising.
In the 1990s, billionaire former ambassador Walter Annenberg was the United States' most generous living philanthropist. By 1998, Annenberg had given away more than $2 billion and the assets of the Annenberg Foundation he had established in June 1989 with $1 billion had grown to $3 billion and ranked as the 12th largest in the U.S. Every weekday from May through November, Annenberg was driven from his home in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania to his Annenberg Foundation headquarters in St. Davids, Pennsylvania, where as its sole director, he reserved virtually every decision for himself when making grants.
In June 1993, Annenberg announced he was making the largest individual gift to private education in history—$365 million to four schools: $120 million each to the communication programs at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Southern California, $25 million to Harvard College, and $100 million to his alma mater, the Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey.
In October 1993, Annenberg announced an unrestricted $25 million gift to Northwestern University bringing his total donations to Northwestern to $55 million, his last major gift to higher education for five years as he shifted the focus of his philanthropy to public K–12 education.
Annenberg told Newton Minow, senior counsel of Sidley & Austin, chairman of the Carnegie Corporation (1993–1997), Annenberg Professor of Communications Law and Policy at Northwestern University (1987–2003) and director of its Annenberg Washington Program (1987–1996): "Everybody around the world wants to send their kids to our universities. South America, Asia, Europe, all of them. But nobody wants to send their kids here to public school. Who would, especially in a big city? Nobody. So we've got to do something. If we don't, our civilization will collapse."
This was right up Obama’s alley, his kids were to study and learn in Chicago and so were other people’s children and he wanted them to get the best education available. It is this kind of thing that he will bring to America as President, a concern for inner cities, for minorities citizens who everyone else seems placidly happy to just let aimlessly unemployed and unemployable, roam the streets and then imprison. He wants something better for all Americans. Me, too.
The three co-authors of Chicago's winning Annenberg Challenge $49.2 million grant proposal were: Corbin’s favorite terrorist and other people’s now favorite community minded citizen and reformed idiot college radical,
- William Ayers, associate professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago; co-director of the Small Schools Workshop; co-director of the Chicago Forum for School Change—an affiliate of the Coalition of Essential Schools;[20] chairman of the Alliance for Better Chicago Schools (ABCs) coalition;[21][22] former Chicago assistant deputy mayor for education (1989–1990);[22] brother of John Ayers, executive director (1994–2004) of Leadership for Quality Education (an affiliate of the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club of Chicago) and former associate director (1987–1994) of the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club of Chicago; son of Thomas Ayers, former president (1964–1980), chairman and CEO (1973–1980) of Commonwealth Edison and former vice president (1980) of the Chicago School Board
- Anne Hallett, executive director and founder of the Cross-City Campaign for Urban School Reform; former executive director of the Wieboldt Foundation (1986–1993); former executive director of the Citizens Education Center in Seattle (1983–1986)
- Warren Chapman, senior program officer for education at the Joyce Foundation;
Board of Directors
The founding Board of Directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge as announced in 1995 were:
- Patricia Albjerg Graham
- Barack Obama, civil rights attorney at Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland; lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School; member of the board of directors of the Joyce Foundation and the Woods Fund of Chicago; winner, Crain's Chicago Business 40 Under 40 award, 1993; former president of the Harvard Law Review (1990–1991); former executive director of the Developing Communities Project (June 1985–May 1988)
I’ll only paste that much to save space….
The JOYCE Foundation
And if Obama was such a terrible worker there and at the Annenberg Challenge then, why wasn’t he dismissed, fired, let go, or handed a Golden Parachute as so many of your heroes were handed, I wonder?
At least, he wasn’t charged with accepting illegal gratuities nor listening to and supporting legislation for lobbyists nor playing with lobbyists nor anything else that other people, heretofore unnamed, were cavorting with in their bio.
Wonderfully, finally in this election, the truth is setting us free and the best man is now movin’ on up, as Sarah would say.
May the best man win and may he be my best man.
I am so happy to have been able to do this research for you. I would research more about his actual law career, but I am so busy, that I cannot do that this week, maybe next week?
Sincerest regards, Benzinha Hussein bin Obama
We Democrats are now all adopting Hussein as our middle name,
Just for you and your friends to have so much
more fun when referring to us.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again; so what, if I repeat myself: the guy's an empty suit!
