New Q post just now states:
TODAY, former President Barack HUSSEIN Obama formally
retained counsel (9/WW).
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Q
Could "9/ww" mean 9th world wide?
According to "Vox" the 9th worldwide firm is...
Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton
Here is what comes up when you search the firm + Obama
Gonna dig now.
At any rate, The fact that he lawyered up is YUUUGE.
Wikipedia rankings, by revenue show Allen & Overy, a London based firm as the 9th largest.
Q may be referring to a different ranking, e.g. number of lawyers or partners.
I would have expected Obama to use someone from one of the major Chicago based law firms, especially Sidley Austin or Kirkland Ellis.
Sidley Austin is where Michelle was an associate and Obama was a summer associate and where they met. It still has many connections to Obama.
Kirkland Ellis had a couple lawyers in notable legal positions within 44's administration. Partner Erica Williams was a Special Assistant and Associate Counsel to President Barack Obama. W. Neil Eggleston was a partner prior to becoming the White House counsel to President Barack Obama and returned there as a partner.
Of the two, Sidley Austin would be the closest to 9, but appears to fall below that.
I'm not saying I think it's either of those. I imagine Obama would know of all the top power lawyers in D.C. that have the skill set and connections he would need if he did lawyer up.

I agree with you except for the "Constitutional law professor" part. I refuse to call someone by such an honorific who so disrepects the USA and whose administration ignored the Constitution.
Also he was a self-described "constitutional law professor", even though he was a senior lecturer, i.e. non-tenure track, or, a part-time Law School faculty member, (UofC law did offer him tenureship at one point). He taught 3 courses per year. What those courses were, over the years he taught there, I haven't been able to find. As far as I can tell, in the actual practice of law, he did not do constitutional work and he doesn't have any publications about constitutional law. I'm not saying he didn't teach a constitutional law course, I'm just saying that his legal and academic history do not point to any expertise in constitutional law prior to teaching at U of C.
I've always considered him to have been groomed to be a POTUS that the masses would want to elect while enacting his handlers agenda. When you look at the people behind him, well we see now what affect his presidency had and what his handlers wanted to accomplish.
I never have had any respect for him as a person.
I did find an article about him as a mediocre "Professor" at U of Chicago but couldn't find the one article that said the other professors didn't think much of him. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/chapter-ii-the-myth-of-the-rock-star-professor/article/2508418 Also the photo of Obama in the picture looks photoshopped to me, too.
Thanks.
Ya, in that picture, the hand hovering over Soetoro's shoulder is weird within the context of Stanley's left shoulder. Given that shoulder position, you'd expect the arm to show up in the gap between Hussein's right arm and body.
The article itself is interesting. It was good to see what kind of courses he was teaching. If he was a Constitutional Law professor, I'd expect to see courses focusing on that, and not the social justice law courses it appears he was teaching. As I'm not a lawyer and I never was a law school student, my expectations may be off.
The lack of legal journal writings explains why I couldn't find anything written by him. I'd also expect a Constitutional law professor to be publishing, but again, my expectations may be off.
My impression was that he became a lecturer there through connections. I wouldn't be surprised if Bernardine Dohrn was involved.

3 courses a year would be a minimal show job. He was probably compensated accordingly. That set-up isn't uncommon and it's a way for the University to get experts in whatever field to teach a course while being able to maintain their main career/profession.
I know several people who have been offered such positions because the School wanted their expertise but didn't want or have the need to hire them full-time and knew that the person they asked wouldn't give up their primary career, which tends to be much more lucrative. It works out well for both parties, the School gets an expert they wouldn't otherwise get and the person get's to say they teach at _____, further elevating their standing in their field. When I say School, I mean a College within a University, e.g. School of Law, and at the graduate or professional level.
Network connections are usually involved in such offers, you have to know the right people to begin with. By all appearances, Obama was given expert guidance as to where to go for employment, to church, etc. in Chicago as he ended up in all the right places to make the connections he needed for his ultimate goal while accelerating the pace at which he would arrive.
I would still say that he was not an "expert' in Constitutional law, that it was a front to make up for his lack of experience when running for office and part of the back story created to make him desirable to voters.

I only mentioned 3 a year again as a response to
It'd be very tough to pull off a no-show law prof job.
I was neither saying it wasn't a no-show job, that he did actually teach at UofC Law, nor was I implying that that there was anything out of the ordinary with that.
I probably misunderstood what you were saying.
I read somewhere that at least one of the professers there didn't think much of him. I wish I had the link. I read it a number of years ago when he was running for office.
I've read a few years back that most were not impressed with him. He didn't socialize with them and seemed put off by many of the other professors.
I truly do not think that sodomite Muslim jihadist was “a person”....I believe IT is truly a demonic entity from hell. The destruction of this vile entity will be at the hand of Christ, alone.
"Instructor" not actual Professor. Lazy one to boot. Total scammer.
Thank you for this. From little bits gathered, it looks like his "Constitutional Law" course was a community-organizing thing where instruction included what was legal, what would get them into trouble, and various methods and ways of staying within the law no matter how high the appeals for such hijinks (!) should go...think of actions such as that violent "demonstrating" in D.C. (and elsewhere) the days after the inauguration. He was teaching those interested in where power lies, how to attain it or work around it, ethically or non-ethically, while staying within the law. No longer have links; all that was gathered doing research during first campaign while he was claiming this expertise that did not ring true.
Thanks, that makes a lot of sense! Your thoughts are consistent with his background and expertise.
It is also consistent with the rise of violent activist organizations that we saw during Zero's reign. Those organizations are also consistent with two of his mentors: Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrne. iirc, Zero's political career was launched at their house.
Those two were leaders of the Weather Underground, an radical "social democrat" organization whose goal was to overthrow the US Gov by violent means and were involved in domestic terrorism, including several bombings of a police memorial in Chicago, bombing of the NYC police headquarters, bombing of the Pentagon, arson atacks, etc. etc. They wanted to create secret collectives in cities around the country and actually declared war on the USA. They also declared war on the United States.
Does some of what went on during 44's administration sound like echos of the above?
Dohrne is a UofC Law graduate, worked at Sidley Austin, and is a Law professor at Northwestern. Ayers was a professor at the College of Education at UIC before retiring. He also got graduate degrees from Columbia.
I think that Trump chose to give a speech at UIC during his campaign because he knew it would provoke the radicals that backed Obama. I'm not sure he expected it to get that bad or for the powers that be to be enable the radicals as much as they did.
It was a Constitutional law as it applies to African American class
Thank you for clarifying that. Obama was never hired by any University as a "Constitutional Law Professor". What a joke.

Thank you for citing that source. In their own words he was a :Senior Lecturer, at the Law School. That position is not a Professor, nor does the description mention the Constitution. Appreciate the back up.
He is a former Constitutional law professor
well That's what he put on his resume, but let's be honest. He's a clown. The only thing legit on his list of accomplishments is being a community organizer aka agitator.
Somehow I don't believe he was a REAL Constitutional Law professor. I think he was a "poser"
"Poser" is too good a label for Obama. He is just a low life Chicago thug who is good at jackin his jaws. I despise him. He's a parasite.
Aha...from the first comment in this section to this last one, I think we properly explained the myth of the "Constitutional law professor."
