I Knew The Obamas Both Lost Their Law Licenses But I Didnt Know Why Until I Read This... According to recent reports, the Illinois Attorney Registration And Disciplinary Committee released information that doesnt look good for the Obamas. Both have touted their legal licenses to back up their experience. What is lesser known is that both Obamas surrendered their licenses to avoid legal issues of their own. President Obama surrendered his license back in 2008, in order to escape significant charges that he lied on his bar application. This was not a voluntary surrender as Obama claims. Michelle Obama also supposedly voluntarily surrendered her law license in 1993, after a Federal Judge gave her the choice between surrendering her license. The University of Chicago released a statement in March 2008, claiming Sen. Barack Obama served as a professor in the law school. However, the school confirmed that while Obama taught part-time classes there, he never held the position of professor. He did not hold the title of Professor of Law, Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law, said in a statement. What do you think of this new information?
