The Obamas’ Law Professor Thinks Michelle Should’ve Been President
New York Magazine ^ | February 13, 2017 | Claire Landsbaum

Posted on 02/13/2017 9:34:59 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

This election cycle, Michelle Obama proved she could give a speech as well as — and maybe even better than — her husband. But according to her law professor, Michelle’s skills rivaled Barack’s in other areas, too. TMZ caught up with Charles Ogletree Jr., a constitutional law professor at Harvard who taught both the Obamas when they attended the university. And according to him, Michelle was the better student — and would’ve been the better president.

First, Ogletree confirmed that Barack was totally that guy in law school: “He was speaking too much,’” he said. “He wanted everything. He said, ‘I can answer that question, professor.’ I said, ‘Barack, I want to call on Mary.’”

Barack might’ve been talkative, but Michelle is the one who impressed Ogletree. “You know, his wife should’ve been president,” he told TMZ. Barack “was great too, but she was better.”

So … Michelle 2020? Not quite. “She could easily be president, but I don’t think she will,” Ogletree said. Judging by the number of times the Obamas have said exactly the same thing, that’s a pretty safe bet.

“My mother thinks this is the plan.”

I think your mother is right. The Dems don’t have anyone else out front as the conspicuous next candidate. That is probably because their puppet masters have already chosen Mooch. They will have to put her through intense training on how to be likable, though, just like Hillary.

If Michelle “affirmative action hire at a big law firm that she was unqualified for but for the business/influence of her rising hubby-politico” Obama was a better student, more capable, etc. than Zero ... well, it kind of confirms everything we’ve long suspected about Barry “Golden Liberal Child” Obama, who was carried on the backs of smarter leftists every step of the way, because, well, being so “clean cut and well spoken” (as his future Vice President commented), he would be their chosen “vessel” for turning America into a Marxist Socialist paradise....

...you got to wonder about the blindness of morons like this professor, because he can’e even see that he is actually CONFIRMING the worst criticisms of his idols with such crap.

Kind of like the black author who called Bill Clinton “The First Black President”. As I said at the time on these same FR pages, if I were an African American I would have been OUTRAGED at this SLANDER of African Americans, because by saying so she was in fact (unintentionally, of course) slandering American black men with the worst traditional racist slanders one could come up with ...

Still not sure what I mean by that? Think about all of the behaviors that SLick Willy was quite and very CREDIBLY accused of over the years:

1. Oversexed;
2. Cocaine sniffing;
3. Sexual criminal (Rapist)
4. Liar;
5. Thief and bribe-receiver;
6. Out-of-control appetites and impulses

Every single characteristic above can be pulled from the most racist KKK literature of the late 1890s about American black men, and here was Toni Morisson (albeit unwittingly) throwing the same stereotypical canards and generalizations abotu black men by associating them with a white man (Slick) who had a PROVEN history of such actions!

The stupidity, navel gazing and obliviousness of liberals will never cease to amaze me, if I live to be 100 years old!

It seems anyone acting like the dumbest of leftist could become supported for presidency. O’Keef should try spoof a fake senatorial run spewing out dumb sht and see if it gets him the accolades

Ogletree, one of the fathers of “Black Reparations” and is a hardcore leftist, racist to boot. One of Obama’s teachers according to books.

Barak and Michelle Obama are the only Ivy League husband and wife team to have both had their Bar license to practice law revoked for separate infractions.

For an Ivy League grad, you really have to do something really bad to be forced to surrender your law license

If you are a minority Ivy League Law grad it's almost impossible to be forced to surrender you license.

BOTH Obama’s were forced to surrender their bar license.

Charles Ogltree has Alzheimer’s. Shame on TMZ for using him.

Obama was the clean, articulate, cool black guy.

Michelle was the ugly, angry, black fullback with no playing experience.

These liberals live in la-la-land and are unrealistic. And those are just the professors.

To quote Joe Biden on why Barack Obama should be president: “he’s a clean articulate black guy”. The same could be said about Michelle.

If there is anyone unsuitable to make judgment about anything, it is any law professor.

If Michelle “affirmative action hire at a big law firm that she was unqualified for but for the business/influence of her rising hubby-politico” Obama

She got the UChicago job because Obama was in Illinois politics and expected to rise.

She got the law firm job earlier -- before she met Obama.

Affirmative action was likely a factor, but not political influence.

____

It sounds like the professor is a little ambivalent about Obama.

If Barack was an academic highflyer at Harvard Law, the professor -- who wants to praise Obama -- might have found him to be kind of a pain, so he puts in a good word for Michelle who was at least quieter and not as pushy.

He doesn't necessarily mean that she was a genius, just that she didn't get on his nerves.
