How about known opinions for the editor of the Harvard Review and a constitutional professor.

I like 'oh yeah, I met Ayers, bumbed into him when I took a walk one day'

Obama stated that he served on one or two committees with Ayers, including a committee with Republicans and conservatives on it. He was not responsible for the selection of the other committee members. Pete, you usually do better than innuendo. Next thing you know, you'll be suggesting that he was palling around with terrorists.

On the issue of Obama's presidency at the Harvard Law Review, he did not author any articles. He was the editor and reviewed, and with a committee, selected articles, including articles from conservative thinkers. One can hardly attribute the opinions of the authors to him, especially considering the variety of views that come from such publications.

What other things are in this conspiracy to erase Obama's past?

Damn lawyers, always stickin' together.

Ain't like us fellers in the "trades". We cut one another's throats before breakfast.

Ever try to get a hard bid from a lawyer???

Just kidding. Three of my best customers are lawyers. Even if they hit me up for a bid, it's only because they want an idea of how much it's going to cost. They don't go shopping on me. And they're always happy with what I do.

Funny thing is, I've only got one doctor in my stable. And one banker as well. Apparently I don't exhibit enough "snob appeal" for that crowd.

Kinda like you barristers, even if you do have to screw your socks on every morning!!!

Not just lawyers sticking together, it's editors too. My note was published my first year on the law review, but the Oklahoma Law Review didn't have quite the level or quality of outside submissions that the Harvard Law Review had. (That doesn't mean that I think my school wasn't exceptional. After all, we won the national championship in football while I was there. When is the last time Harvard did that?)

Obama could have written an outstanding student note, but not made the final cut for publication. When I was one of the editors I had no time to think about writing anything for publication - I had to try to whip the student notes into shape. From my experience, I can say that it is entirely credible that Obama's student note was not published, and that he didn't write any articles during his time as president.

Regards,

D-Ray

Believe it or not, Oklahoma and Harvard both have 7 college football championships. However, Harvard's last came in 1919.

Ain't a problem fer an Okie!!!

BTW, I catch your drift. And congratulations on being published in your 1st year.

1 vs the entire mainstream? Is this an admission of mainstream liberal bias?

Pete

I don't buy it. To Faux and its wingnut viewers, anyone who holds positions one slight whisker less crazy than the Limbaugh/Hannity/Beck orthodoxy (probably 80% of America, depending on the issue) is liberally biased. To them, McCain and Lindsey Graham are unabashed liberals (as is Dubya now that he's in the past).

What you see depends on where you stand.

Ten minutes ago I couldn't even spell "wingnut", and now I are one!!!

But I like to think of myself as a "fair and balanced" wingnut.

Gotta go...Beck's on!!!
