Mr. Obama arrived at the law school in 1991 thanks to Michael W. McConnell, a conservative scholar who is now a federal appellate judge. As president of The Harvard Law Review, Mr. Obama had impressed Mr. McConnell with editing suggestions on an article; on little more than that, the law school gave him a fellowship, which amounted to an office and a computer, which he used to write his memoir, “Dreams From My Father.”
The school had almost no black faculty members, a special embarrassment given its location on the South Side. Its sleek halls bordered a neighborhood crumbling with poverty and neglect. In his 2000 Congressional primary race, Representative Bobby L. Rush, a former Black Panther running for re-election, used Mr. Obama’s ties to the school to label him an egghead and an elitist.
At the school, Mr. Obama taught three courses, ascending to senior lecturer, a title otherwise carried only by a few federal judges. His most traditional course was in the due process and equal protection areas of constitutional law. His voting rights class traced the evolution of election law, from the disenfranchisement of blacks to contemporary debates over districting and campaign finance. Mr. Obama was so interested in the subject that he helped Richard Pildes, a professor at New York University, develop a leading casebook in the field.
So we have a very strong background in Constitutional Law...sharpened at the University of Chicago. I call it the Chicago School of Economic Genocide due to its spawning and popularity of Milton Friedman's ideas. While taking a senior level course in Macroeconomics, I was handed an article penned by Milton Friedman. The name of the article was "
Only Money Matters".
Obama is probably a nice guy and certainly a bright bulb. He doesn't stand a chance against the tsunami that the power elite are going to throw at him. However he will succeed at what they really want. A new global Constitution...of sorts. Giving the banksters absolute dominion over the planet and its peoples.
Just my theories and predictions of course.
Rockefellers influence at the University of Chicago should be noted.
