Info Post
Author: Bob Terrill
Bill Smith, Ozark Guru: I received the following list from a reader. I enjoyed it but I wasn't going to pass it on because  the list had made the rounds before. However, after mulling over the disastrous Obama budget and recalling that Omaha was a lawyer and "most members of Congress are lawyers," I change my mind.

President Barack H. Obama surrendered his law license after determining that his association with ACORN NGO, the Chicago political mob, and his local church qualified him to be a Senator and even President. Since the Democrats awarded Bill Clinton the status of the "first black president," Obama decided to be the "first black Lincoln." He proceeded with variations to follow in following Lincoln's footsteps. Of course Barack H. Obama wasn't born in Kentucky, but he allegedly studied by candle light while visiting or living in Indonesia and Africa.

Obama also skipped Lincoln's willingness to practice law as a meaningful form of employment. After all, the law would just get in the way of the facts. And Obama had lots of facts which he wished to avoid on his road to the "big house." As we all know (or check the Wikis), Barack H. Obama surrendered his law license and indeed became president. His prior study of American jurisprudence however has not prevented him from displaying a willful disregard for the US Constitution or the rule of law. He has placed Valarie Jarrett at his side to remind him when he accidentally slips right. As Lincoln had already "freed the slaves," Obama seems to have successfully taken a different track. By practicing federal over spending, taking trips and bowing to foreign leaders, having parties, supporting open borders, taking over of industry, banks, and businesses, weakening our defense, etc., he appears to on the road to achieving the reverse of Lincoln -- the "enslavement" of the entire country to debt and to foreign powers.

Unfortuantely, President Obama is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to elected lawyers. There are multitudes of other lawyers pursing political ambitions. Most scrape by (or even buy) a liberal arts degree and then head for law school. Those with political ambitions might even put Esquire by their name and dabble in "the law" before moving on to the dole of elected office. This career path is well worn by "lawyers." Except for a limited number of patriots, most elected lawyers tend to pursue various levels of elected office until they retire or die. Exceptions are made occasionally for career politicians for major political appointments, gravy jobs as lobbyists, or the deaths of rich relatives. And most of these "elected" lawyers will never "practice" law again or see the inside of a court room unless arrested for deviant or illegal behavior.

Consider the multitudes of lawyers in the U.S. Congress, in the various State legislatures and constitutional offices and even in local county and municipal offices. Most of these elected lawyers prefer having an elected offices far from their constituents, because at the local level, their deeds and job performance is directly observable by the voters.

Back to the lighter side. The following comments were allegedly identified in a book called Disorder in the American Courts and they detail things that people actually said in court, word for word, taken down by court reporters. Since I haven't read the book, credit is vicariously accorded the author Bob Terrill with a link and promotion of the image of his book. Thank you Bob!
