How do you explain the following excerpt from Wikipedia?
Obama entered Harvard Law School in the Fall of 1988. He was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review at the end of his first year, president of the journal in his second year, and research assistant to the constitutional scholar Laurence Tribe while at Harvard for two years. During his summers, he returned to Chicago, where he worked as an associate at the law firms of Sidley Austin in 1989 and Hopkins & Sutter in 1990. After graduating with a J.D. magna cum laude from Harvard in 1991, he returned to Chicago. Obama's election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review gained national media attention and led to a publishing contract and advance for a book about race relations, which evolved into a personal memoir. The manuscript was published in mid-1995 as Dreams from My Father.
University of Chicago Law School and civil rights attorney
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 taught at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years—as a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996, and as a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004—teaching constitutional law.
From April to October 1992, Obama directed Illinois's Project Vote, a voter registration campaign with ten staffers and seven hundred volunteer registrars; it achieved its goal of registering 150,000 of 400,000 unregistered African Americans in the state, leading Crain's Chicago Business to name Obama to its 1993 list of "40 under Forty" powers to be.
He joined Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland, a 13-attorney law firm specializing in civil rights litigation and neighborhood economic development, where he was an associate for three years from 1993 to 1996, then of counsel from 1996 to 2004. His law license became inactive in 2007.
From 1994 to 2002, Obama served on the boards of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago, which in 1985 had been the first foundation to fund the Developing Communities Project; and of the Joyce Foundation. He served on the board of directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from 1995 to 2002, as founding president and chairman of the board of directors from 1995 to 1999.
No, the nuts who have made the Rep party a collection of Thumpers who really would feel more at home with Islamic law than they admit. And who lost (twice) to a very marginally qualified Obama.
Not as funny of a "sumbitch" as you! You made a very specific allegation that Obama "had never had a job prior to moving in the White House." (Those were your exact words, not mine)
When confronted with the facts, you deflect to name calling without acknowledging the fact that you actually LIED.
Welcome to TrendingIdiot's world! Next thing we know, you will probably be saying that "MLK opposed illegal immigration." Although it would not be surprising for us to find out that you might have helped perpetuate that lie, as well.
I don't think Old-T is a Republican, wordsmith, so NO he couldn't support any candidate as a Republican.
You a Registered Republican Old-T?
Perhaps not, but he is bringing up the point about who is running for the Republicans, and seems to have hinted around that he would vote for a reasonable candidate regardless of party.
Old-T, is there a conservative candidate you could support as a Republican, and vote for him?

Thanks for inquiring. I have been a registered independent since the early 70s. I have voted Republican more often than Democrat. I would support whoever I thought was the best candidate regardless of party--and I have worked in the election campaigns of both Dems, Reps, and Inds.
In general I am slightly conservative of center. More conservative of defense issues and fiscal issues, but unwilling to "correct" decades of bad decisions in simplistic ways that don't share the burden.
I am for gun registration, not banning/confiscation. I support a well thought out, balanced reform of social security, TANIF, food stamps, etc. Likewise I am in favor of major tax reform, but it too needs to be well thought out,--which many proposals I have seen are not.
I think obamacare is a bad solution, but I don't want to go back to a system that left millions uncovered--I DON'T trust the healthcare big companies to "do the right thing" on their own. I was vehemently against bank bailouts, I think both sides are pushing ill conceived immigration plans (any plan that does not differentiate between the Tohono O'odham's situation and illegal immigrants from Asia or Africa is a flawed plan in my mind).
So give me a candidate I can trust, surrounded by people I can trust, and who addresses more of the above and that's who I will vote far.

Hope this helps clarify a bit.
You have NOT voted "FOR" a president since Bush1... You admitted you have only voted "AGAINST" presidents since Bush1... WTF Old-Trotsky???

Poor pathetic IIFFy, you are spending too much time with IB and his brain regression is rubbing off on you.
The question is, would I vote for the right Republican. My answer was I would. As you point out, I have indeed voted for Republicans in the past. What part of that are you incapable of following?
