If UC wants to consider him a professor, then I guess he was a "professor."

But consider that they put "professor" in the lower case.

They're saying that he taught there -- that he was considered a teacher in the law school.

That's not really anything controversial or enlightening.

A lot of people may have read the UC statement as equating a "Senior Lecturer" with a "Professor" (capital P) and that's just not the case.

Ditto with the rest of "professor of constitutional law." (again, small c, small l).

The president likes to give the impression that he taught Constitutional Law -- checks and balances, federalism, the whole ball of wax.

In fact, he didn't. His course on voting rights dealt with an aspect of constitional law, but a rather small and specialized one.

Obama wasn't a "Professor of Constitutional Law" as some people believe, and as he likes to let them believe.

That's why I said he was "sort of" a professor. I know he wasn't a professor by normal university standards. But one has to be careful when throwing around loosely defined words and titles, because a braindead leftist might throw the U of Chi statement back at one of us with righteous indignation.
