[QUOTE=Guest;539469]I have to control myself from:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: when I hear some of you talk about what jobs Ryan did not have before being elected to congress. Let's just say, to be polite (I am working at it) that he certainly is no worse in that regard than Obama was. Nobody could ever state what "real job" Obama ever has."

From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School’s Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.

[quote=buggyone;539822]First your cut and paste job is not credited and that is required per US law.

Second, he served in the ILL senate from 1997 until 2004 thus whereever you copied it from is really bogus !

PS....see you modified it to add the credit but it is still inaccurate !

OK so he won elections in politics and intellectual positions...still waiting to hear about Obama's real job...

btk

[quote=Bucco;539829] Thank you for the reminder to cite the work. I put it in the post at your suggestion. If you re-read the statement from the University of Chicago, it clears up your second point. I will re-copy it for you and it has the same citation as above.

"Like Obama, each of the Law School’s Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching."

[quote=buggyone;539837]I believe his career in the senate in ILL is important and should be cited as often as possible

You do not call a Professor of Law at University of Chicago from 1992 until 2004 a real job? What did you do for those same 12 years?

He was a ILL senator and if you read his autobiography or anything about him at all, you would find he was an extremely active politician in those years.

Very busy man and extremely competent as well.

If you do not believe FactCheck.org, that is up to you.

Never been to that site and do not intend to visit ! I prefer my own research....did they mention all his ABSENT votes ? Did they mention how and where he launched his campaign ?

What rubbish you poste !!!!!!!!!! Why waste bandwidth?

Obama is President of the United States - he signed ACA into law. It is on his watch that we got Bin Laden. He has already accomplished more in 3.5 years that the guy before him did in eight. Signing ACA and getting Bin Laden already makes him a far more successful POTUS that the guy before him.

He is running for reelection and every poll (including Fox) shows he has a commanding lead.

There is nothing in the Constitution that says he must have a previous job that meets Bucco's satisfaction.

I am sorry....I was correcting the biography that was submitted incorrectly and I have no idea whatsoever what your post has to do with what was being discussed.

BUGGYONE brought up his biography and qualifications, not me....perhaps you should talk to him !!

And yes signing the ACA into law puts us into a new era of spending !!

President Obama's work experience could never hold a candle to Congressman Paul Ryan's experience driving the 'Weinermobile'.

BRILLIANT...NOW lets talk about Jobs, the economy, leadership required.....the character assassination is getting pretty old, at least for me !

Oh, I hope the conservatives get used to the character attacks on Paul Ryan. This is only the 4th day of him being the VP nominee. Lots more days and lots more character attacks will be coming.

Thinking Americans will see that Rep. Ryan was not the best choice for Romney to pick.

WOW...you folks are so hung up on attacking people....okay..will play for a bit....I assume you read what Clinton's chief of staff said about him, and I aslo suppose you noticed the dramatic change in this mornings polls !

You folks do so enjoy going after people instead of discussing issues...must be some kind of fun in that I suppose...like People Magazine or something..........

You specifically say CHARACTER attacks....I find that very interesting and shallow ! Other words can be subbed for shallow !
