I can see that they are clearly just trying to start an uproar b/c anyone can easily simply call the lawschool and ask. He taught at the lawschool for a number of years - while also being a full-time IL senator. He taught two classes a quarter...just like most other professors. In fact, many other professors only taught one class a quarter. I bet that all of the students who loved him and were trying to overload into his classes would think that it was very funny that the Clinton group is now positing that he wasn't actually a professor or that he was just visiting. That's an interesting idea.
When will it end? I was so excited about this election but the Clintons are just taking all of the excitement out of it. Not even McCain is playing dirty like the Clintons.
She does not do women justice in this campaign at all.

And wouldn't the students still call him Professor Obama no matter if he was visiting or not? I've even called grad student TAs professor. It's just a matter of respect.
When will the madness end?

Ten/Four,
Huh? I think that I may have not understood your point. Are you thinking that he really wasn't a professor or saying what difference does it make? Not sure that I followed you.

Sorry maybe I didn't word that correctly. I was trying to say it didn't matter what his rank was (ie. adjutant, visiting, lecturer, tenured). He would still be considered a professor.

You went to UD? I went to West Chester. I have been up to your school for a greek party or two (back in the 90's) and I still go up there to buy nalia from Greek Impressions. I love that store!

I am at UD now for my MBA program. I don't get out much...
My cousin was president of the Zeta chapter here back in 89 or 90, I think it was.

oh okay and I think the name of the store is Unique Impressions. If you haven't been there (which I'm sure you probably have), you have to go. They have some really unique nalia for greeks.

Wow. She is doing a bang up job at running her campaign team. I wonder if she'll do the same great job at running the country.

^^Wow, really? Such a problem. They really think that it is that easy hunh? Get a black face on the ticket and get the African American vote, as though it is not about policy.
The Republican party sent Alan Keyes to Illinois to run for senator against Obama in 2004. They really did think that it was about Obama's race and not his policy.

Hmm. That's interesting. I guess the Rep. party is not aware that Ms. Rice is not the most popular on the AA side ... and I don't think that huge numbers of traditional Republicans would turn out for her on the majority side. Just me.
I'd like her as an Ambassador - even in Obama's presidency. I think that foreign relations is her thing (even though I didn't agree with the policy that she was promoting for her boss all these years).
I think that she has had one of the toughest jobs of anyone this past 4-8 years...seriously. Talk about stress levels.
