He's lied about his time as a "law professor".
Time magazine gushed in 2008 about Barack Obama's 12-year tenure as a law lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, saying, "Within a few years, he had become a rock-star professor with hordes of devoted students."
That may have been true during his first two years, when he ranked first among the law school's 40 instructors, with students giving him a rating of 9.7 out of a possible 10.
But law student evaluations made available to The Washington Examiner by the university showed that his popularity then fell steadily.
OMG - Obama has got to be the most corrupt President we've ever elected
Political and Christian activism
-Often identified as "Christian billionaire Phil Anschutz",[36] he is a Republican donor who supported George W. Bush's administration. He has been an active patron of a number of religious and conservative causes:
-Helped fund Colorado's 1992 Amendment 2, a ballot initiative designed to overturn local and state laws that prohibit discrimination against individuals on the basis of sexual orientation but was invalidated by Romer v. Evans after it passed.[23]
-Contributed $70,000 in 2003 to the Discovery Institute, to specifically support the work of telecom guru George Gilder but not matters related to intelligent design. That fact was validated by Discovery President Bruce Chapman in a letter-to-the-editor to the Rocky Mounatain News, "Anschutz never gave that program a nickel,"[37]
-The Discovery Institute is a think tank based in Seattle, Washington that also promotes intelligent design and criticizes evolution.[38]
-Supported the Parents Television Council, a group that protests against television indecency.[38]
-Financed and distributed films with Christian themes, such as Amazing Grace and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, for mass audiences through his two film production companies and ownership of much of the Regal, Edwards and United Artists theater chains.
-Financed The Foundation for a Better Life.
-In 2009 Anschutz purchased the conservative American oinion magazine The Weekly Standard from Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.[29]
-Philip Anschutz and fellow board members of the American Petroleum Institute in Washington arecredited by Bush's energy secretary for theOval Office decision to kill the Kyoto Protocol in 2001.[citation needed]
-Financed the 2010 pro-charter school film, Waiting for Supeman.[39]
-Financed the 2012 pro-parent trigger film, Won't Back Down.[40]

Can you explain how you came to the conclusion that he lied about his time being a law professor. The very article you are drawing your conclusion from is refuting what time magazine said not what he said. So how exactly is this Obama lying?
Your own article agrees with Time and says but his popularity fell after two years.
It seems like the OP is lying here.
I am sorry your candidate sucks and has a snowballs chance in hell of being elected but if you are going to start a thread try to be truthful.
At least you can keep your credibility then.
These new bash threads on Obama just show how desperate the right is.edit on 21-9-2012 by Grimpachi because: add and spellcheck

He states he was a "constitutional law professor". No he wasn't. THAT's what he lied about. I'm sorry your candidate is a tremendous liar who has fabricated his childhood, his pre-political career, and political activities, but you don't really have to resort to attacking those who are pointing it out. Or the other candidate. Romney didn't make him lie.
UC Law School statement: The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as "Senior Lecturer." From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School’s Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.
Twenty-two of 40 faculty members ranked higher than Obama.

I'm replying to a comment from a now closed thread on the same topic:
From an article quoted in the aforementioned thread:
Twenty-two of 40 faculty members ranked higher than Obama.
OMF'nG! Obama, as a fairly new and inexperienced law professor only ranked slightly below half the other law professors as lecturers! And how did the Texas Rangers rank under Bush II's ownership?
I'm no defender of Obama, but citing these ridiculous reasons for thinking him a bad president are just plain mega-ridiculous. If these are your best arguments against Obama, then clearly you got nothing on him, and it says more about your candidate and your warped reality than anything else. But, hey, keep on grasping at straws.

The Obama you don't know....I'm speechless.
Here's some nuggets to chew on:
He's lied about his childhood. He's lied about his time as a "law professor". He's lied about his time as a "civil rights lawyer" (he was actually negotiating deals with real estate investment firms that left a major portion of the poor black community in South Chicago homeless). His 1997 speech on Valentine's Day shows that his entire strategy in to enslave the poor to buy their votes. He's worked with and accepted donations from about a half dozen people who have either ended up in prison for corruption/bribery or are attached to terrorism. He raped the pension plans in Illinois for the benefit of cronyism and getting donations/power. And lastly he continued all this corruption into office with the UAW bail-out for GM and padding his donators/connections with the energy funds.
Can't someone arrest this man and prosecute him?
