Editors of Law Reviews write articles for publication in their Review. Did Obama? Law professors, sometimes even law instructors, write articles for publication. Did Obama?

"Obama's challenge never has been to show people he is smart enough to serve as president; few would deny that he is. His HLS degree confirms his intelligence..."

p>Sorry, but I don't think he's very smart. He won't release his grades at Columbia, yet didn't graduate Honor roll in a relatively easy major, Political Science (makes him between 2.0-3.3, more than likely like the 2.6 I got as an Engineering student). He was President of the Law Review, yet had no published articles. He was never considered for any prestigious law firms, and even the NAACP didn't want him. He only gives soaring speeches when he has a trusty teleprompter. When he's on his own, he sounds like a stammering idiot, hence the nickname "Stuttering Barry." br> -- Lawrence D. Cannon, P.E. br> Terry, Mississippi /p>

If Obama wins the presidency, he might further lower America's opinion of lawyers. I have long felt they should never be allowed to serve in top positions in government. Any profession which can willfully ignore right and wrong (arguing that it gets in the way of advocacy) has to be populated with a majority which lacks any true sense of morality.

Shakespeare was right. I have lawyer friends who freely admit the country would be better off if we were to shoot six out of every seven lawyers (if they weren't among those shot!).
