Former Univ of Chicago Interim Dean: Obama Was Never Offered Tenure The University of Chicago released a statement in March, 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "served as a professor" in the law school, but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008. "He did not hold the title of professor of law," said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2483075/posts His resume showed up and he wasn't hired and then a month later the head dean brought it back and said you MUST hire him. Then he showed up and never interacted with the rest of the staff. Total dud. It's obvious that the Manchurian was working on building a fake resume. http://www.theodoresworld.net/archives/2010/04/professors_hated_obama_accordi.html
