I wasn't an editor, but I still wrote, and I assisted the editor on articles the editor wrote. It was expected. In fact, if you didn't write, you weren't on law review. Obama is the only Law Review editor or staff that I have heard of that didn't write anything. And I expect that the standards at Harvard were at least as high as the standards of my law school. At least for most of us.

[CuteOldGuy]

Well, we know you can cut and paste, CBJ7. But I suspect you were never on law review, and many times expectations exceed the minimum responsibilities put forth in a bylaw. By the way, neither Obama nor I ever attended the University of Indiana.

Also, since Obama has not deemed it necessary to release his school records, we have no idea if he completed any of the other requirements you detail. In fact, he may have not even shown up, for all we know. But we do know one thing. He didn't write anything. And he was on Law Review.

At my school, the Editor was a third year, and selected based on the quality of writing performed for the law review as a 2nd year. So the bylaw you cut and paste, would only have taken effect AFTER someone's writing was evaluated and published in the Law Review. However, our editors still wrote as third years, and our Editor in Chief was expected to publish in the third year.

Try to know what you're talking about before you post, CBJ7. You are sounding stupider than usual.

lol


nope I wasnt a lawyer ... howd you guess.

yes I c/p'd the responsibilities of the editors (top to bottom) from Indiana school of law .. another guess?

apparently (from your statement) your school and Indiana is different so is it possible your school and Obies school is different too? Can you prove they arent different?

[BigBaldBlk]

During the campaign in 2008, Obama called this the Silly Season. This and every other post have just been that...silly. Do I like the job that Obama is doing? eh, some good, some not so good. Do I think Romney will do a better job at fixing the economy than Obama? Probably. Will he be a good President? He wasn't a good Governor, so I don't think he'd be a good President.

Besides, if Romney does with the Presidency, I guarantee during the 2016 Silly Season, the Dem's will get Americans to focus on what Romney hasn't done well. Again, Silly Season!

No. I don't see the need, and I don't want to. I think I'm done with this.

At the very least, Obama had the chance to be published in what may well be the most prestigious Law Review in the country. He chose not to. I still wonder why.

But this issue has had more attention than it deserves. Onward.

of course theres no need to do that, just like theres no need for any Lawyer/President to afford the public with his college publishings ...

Personally, Id like to see publishings from ANY Legal Review Editor from ANY school in the country that were made available to the public ... just show me ONE.

[CuteOldGuy]

CBJ7, I hesitate to respond, because it is obvious you are too ignorant to be discussing this topic. However, I will address this as calmly as I can.

LAW REVIEWS ARE PUBLISHED FOR THE PUBLIC AND ARE IN EVERY LAW LIBRARY AND MANY PUBLIC LIBRARIES. ANYONE CAN GO IN AND READ THEM! IF YOUR LIBRARY DOESN'T HAVE THE ONE YOU WANT, CHANCES ARE THEY CAN GET IT.

LAW REVIEWS ARE NOT SECRET.

There, CBJ7. They are ALL made public. That is how we know Obama didn't write anything.

Here. Read the Harvard Law Review, current and past issues.

http://www.harvardlawreview.org/index.php

Now please. There must be something you know about. Please post about that, and leave the rest of these to those who know things.

[CJ7]

sheesh ...

didnt you read where I specifically said LEGAL REVIEW EDITOR?

apparently Indiana LS editors are different from your school, remember?

if no published work exists how can it be made public ?

do you know that?

[CuteOldGuy]

If a tree falls in a forest, and no one is around, does it make a sound?

Here's the thing. If a Law Review editor writes something, and it doesn't get published, it's because the writing was not good enough, or the article did not complement the rest of issue. They are not "hidden" so people don't see them, although I've read a few that should have been.

When my article got published, I sent it to everyone! I still have copies of the issue it came out in. I also wrote stuff that didn't get published. I didn't save that, and I doubt the law school did, either. If that's Obama's case, just say so. "My writing didn't fit with the issue, so it was shelved. I don't know where it is." Ok. Case closed. No big deal. (I wouldn't expect him to say "My writing was crap".)

Obama could deflect so many of the Romney attacks, but he always acts like he has something to hide. That is why people think he is hiding something. And even if he is hiding something, he could still deflect most of them effectively, like I described above. He's beginning to act more like Nixon than Nixon did.

MHO?? I think they both ought to just put their ideas on the table (not pander to "group of the day") and let "the people" decide what ideology will be best for this country and run from there. Capitalism and the free market or socialism/fascism and government control. Personally, I am for the former, leaning more toward Libertarianism. Just my humble opinion. Have an AWESOME day

I'll second that. But you'll never get a lib to admit he is a socialist. Well maybe you will here, but not in a crowd of Americans. Sadly, most are too ignorant to even realize they are a socialist. The Repubs are much more open and honest about favoring capitalism. Libertarian tendencies here as well.

[CuteOldGuy]

Actually, CBJ7, that was a pretty good article. I hadn't come across that before. It does answer some of my questions. Thanks.

It doesn't sound like he had a remarkable tenure, but it does look like he did something while there. Interesting.

Still not going to vote for him.
