Discussion of Obama’s work as a law prof at Chicago is making the rounds lately and the conclusion is much the same as it was at the Harvard Law Review…he assiduously avoids taking a stand in print and/or leaving a paper trail.

Teaching Law, Testing Ideas, Obama Stood Apart

Published: July 30, 2008

The young law professor stood apart in too many ways to count. At a school where economic analysis was all the rage, he taught rights, race and gender. Other faculty members dreamed of tenured positions; he turned them down. While most colleagues published by the pound, he never completed a single work of legal scholarship.

Daniel Halper of Commentary Magazine provides an insightful analysis of Ms Kantor’s article here…“Anecdotes from Professor Obama”

Obama might have been more active as a Senator than we thought.

Let’s see if this story gains traction. Excerpt and link…

Obama tied to Iraqi government fraud?

JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama’s office engaged in six months of negotiations with a company controlled by convicted criminal Tony Rezko to lobby the U.S. government to push through a nixed $50 million contact to train Iraqi security personnel at a site in Chicago.

The contract was awarded to Rezko’s company while Aiham Alsammarae, a long-time, close Rezko friend and a contributor to Obama’s campaign, served as Iraq’s U.S.-appointed electricity minister.

Rezko was a major Obama fundraiser and associate for two decades.

Alsammarae also awarded another Rezko-controlled operation as part of a $150 million contract to construct a 250-megawatt electricity plant in Iraq.

Alsammarae later was arrested by Iraqi authorities for bilking the coalition government out of some $650 million. He was sprung from prison under questionable circumstances in 2006 and escaped from Iraq, where he is still wanted for questioning with regard to major financial crimes.

The information raises questions into the nature of Obama’s relationship with multiple deals made by Iraq’s Electricity Ministry while Alsammarae was in charge. Obama has ties to Alsammarae and to the recipients of several of the massive contracts Alsammarae handed out.

Not sure which is the bigger story here–that Edgar Mitchell has (again) told his story of alien contact or that it was headlined on Fox News.

As some of you may remember, Mitchell (who for all intents and purposes seems quite believable) told this story as far back as 1994 (and maybe earlier).

But, for what it’s worth, here it is (again)…

Former NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr. Edgar Mitchell — a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission — claims aliens exist.

He says extraterrestrials have visited Earth on several occasions — but the alien contact has been repeatedly covered up by governments for six decades.

Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview in Birmingham, England, that sources in the federal government who had had contact with aliens described the beings as “little people who look strange to us.”

He said supposedly real-life ET’s were similar to the traditional image of a “small gray” — short, slight frame, large eyes and large head.

Document forensics expert: Obama “birth certificate” a “horrible forgery”

Maybe–maybe not–but here’s the latest scoop from “Israel Insider”!

Barack Obama may be on a world tour surrounded by a fawning media, but Sunday an expert in electronic document forensics released a detailed report on the purported birth certificate — actually a “Certification of Live Birth” or COLB — claimed as genuine by his campaign. The expert concludes with 100% certainty that it is a crudely forged fake: “a horribly forgery,” according to the analysis published on the popular right-wing Atlas Shrugs blog…

UPDATE LINK: Georgia congressman warns of Obama dictatorship

Do chickens really come home to roost?

Two AM

There I am working on the last blog post of the day when there’s a ham-fisted pounding on the front door.

I push back from the keyboard, straighten up my pajamas, and lumber off in the direction of the foyer.

As I realize what’s about to happen, adrenalin spurts in my veins and my body tightens– I reach for the loaded .357 in the drawer of the foyer lamp stand.

“Yeah…who is it?”

Over the sound of scuffling boots just outside my door rises a not unfamiliar voice, “It’s the Obama Secret–I mean–it’s the Obama Civilian Police. We’re rounding up dissident bloggers and we’ve got a warrant for your arrest…please open the door!”

The mysterious disappearance of the “Civilian National Security Force” from Obama’s speech has done nothing but draw even more attention to his frightening idea. WND covers this matter today in (related video embed)…

Obama’s ‘Big Brother’ vanishes from speech
‘Civilian security force’ excised from ‘call to service’ transcript

By Bob Unruh

The stunning comments from Democrat Sen. Barack Obama that the United States needs a “civilian national security force” that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar United States Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force have mysteriously disappeared from published transcripts of the speech.

In the comments, Obama confirmed the U.S. “cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set.”

Jeffrey Lord drives home a very solid point (that the Dem’s are sabotaging themselves) in his article today in The American Spectator, “Obama Lies.”

Here is an excerpt and link…

“You arrogant ass! You’ve killed US!”

The line comes from an enraged Soviet Navy officer to his superior, Captain Tupolev, in the film version of Tom Clancy’s thriller The Hunt for Red October. Clancy fans will remember Tupolev as the Soviet submariner tasked with destroying the Russian super-sub Red October, captained by Tupolev’s old teacher, the defecting Marko Ramius (Sean Connery). Egotistical, obsessed with getting Ramius, in the heat of battle the not very bright Tupolev impulsively launches a torpedo against the advice of his senior officer. Too late he realizes the torpedo has been led back to a target other than the Red October. At the very last moment he understands the horrible truth as his senior officer screams the line above seconds before Tupolev’s sub is destroyed — by the torpedo launched with Tupolev’s own hand.

Barack Obama is now in the process of being Tupoleved by the American Left. More amusingly, the American Left is in the process of being Tupoleved by the American Left. The torpedo? Two simple words repeated ad nauseam now for years. The words?

Bush lied.
