Perhaps you could do the same? I've never heard of a 49 year old academic who has never produced 1 sheet of scholarly work!
And selected should be elected surely.
He must have had amazing grades to get into Harvard, especially after a 5 year gap? What were they?
How was he ever a professor? Professor's by definition have tenure - he was a senior lecturer.
Wow
crackoff, you're worse than I thought.

Did you get that? Not one of those definitions requires writing of academic papers. So, you lose that point.
And selected should be elected surely.
Now, read this carefully: at Harvard, editors are SELECTED. The editors ELECT a President. Did you not look at the reference I provided earlier? No? Too lazy or too stupid or just trying to win a fight by
sounding like you're aware of things you clearly aren't? Look again:
WikiPedia said:
Fourteen editors (two from each 1L section) are selected based on a combination of their first-year grades and their competition scores. Twenty editors are selected based solely on their competition scores. The remaining editors are selected on a discretionary basis.
SELECTED. See that? Read it again
here in its entirety. You lose. Again.
He must have had amazing grades to get into Harvard, especially after a 5 year gap? What were they?
Non-sequitur. He must have had an undergraduate degree with reasonable grades. Why does he need amazing grades? Did he claim to have amazing grades? I think not. Further, only race-baiters, Obama-haters and Glenn Beck want to make the President's pre-Harvard years into something that they aren't.
In fact, why are his grades relevant to the FACTS I presented in my first post? This is a rhetorical question because anybody who read that post knows the answer: they are not. He attended Harvard. Good enough for me. Who cares what his grades were before that? Does it matter (with the obvious exception of mattering to race-baiters, Obama-haters and Glenn Beck)?
You lose on a technicality. I didn't make a claim about his grades, the President didn't make a claim about his grades, and his pre-Harvard education wasn't a point of the post.
How was he ever a professor? Professor's by definition have tenure - he was a senior lecturer.
Wrong again. He was a senior lecturer for his last eight years there... again, if you read my source you knew that:
WikiPedia said:
In 1991, Obama accepted a two-year position as Visiting Law and Government Fellow at the University of Chicago Law School to work on his first book. He then served as a professor at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve yearsas a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996, and as a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004teaching constitutional law.
What's the problem with being a senior lecturer? Here's a good explanation I found (and you probably could have also found, but you'd rather
assume you're a smart guy):
Answers.com said:
Lecturer is an academic rank. In the United Kingdom, lecturer is a position at a university or similar institution, often held by academics in their early career stages, who lead research groups and supervise research students, as well as teach. However, in the United States, Canada, and other countries influenced by their educational systems, the term is used differently but generally denotes academics without tenure who teach introductory undergraduate courses and have few or no research responsibilities.
You will note that a professor doesn't denote tenure, as you wrongly assert. The most common definition is:
Answers.com - definition of "professor" said:
- A college or university teacher who ranks above an associate professor.
- A teacher or instructor.
- One who professes.
Some other notable University of Chicago "senior lecturers" include:
- Richard Posner - judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago and a Senior Lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School.
- Kenneth W. Dam - a senior fellow of the Brookings Institution and a professor emeritus and senior lecturer at the University of Chicago.
- James A. Davis - a distinguished American sociologist and until recently, a Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Chicago.
Nice try
attempting to make "senior lecturer" one rung above janitor, but you lose.
Again. In fact, you've lost every one of your points. I don't know if you
feel stupid, but you certainly
look stupid.
Overall
crackoff, I'd say you're just a
big loser. Next time you want to
try to make me sound like I'm not aware of what I'm talking about, you had better do some research. Otherwise, you'll just look worse than you do already.
