According to a widely forwarded text, both Barack and Michelle Obama surrendered their Illinois law licenses to avoid disciplinary action and/or criminal prosecution. One version (see viral graphic above) even goes so far as to claim that the First Lady was "disbarred for extortion" in 1993. It's a lie.

The quoted email is about the lamest thing I have ever read. The author is really quite hung up on some minor and uninteresting points.
He seems to think that it is virtually a requirement that a President is an attorney. There is no such requirement.
Perhaps he is also confused about “professor” vs “Professor”. To be called “professor” simply one is/was a teacher. To be called “Professor” should mean one has the actual title of Professor.
At any rate, big woops.
Why bother showing the truth to people who would rather believe a lie because it’s more comfortable. Haters gonna hate.
This may or may not be the truth, but Obama does himself no good in trying to hide his past, be it good or bad.
He should be held to the same standard he wants to hold others to: how did he put it? Something like the only ones who want to hide something are those who have something to hide.
I hear him saying that everytime I hear about him hiding something, or of his Friday night document drops or of the millions of dollars he has spent fighting to keep his past a secret.
These two Phantom jack asses are spending their way through the Kingdom, without any cares of the little people of the worlds… “let em eat cake?”…time for the Guillotine
If it is a true statement, it would speak to the character of the person. It really doesn’t matter if they have a law degree. It only matters how they lost them when it comes to integrity. Do you want a liar and a cheat representing you at the worlds table?
Just the mere fact that we all know we could never just ask this question of either of them and get a straight, honest answer – or an answer at all – is disturbing. At a time when everyone is so gung ho about a movie like Lincoln where the nations leader is righteous, honest and forthcoming should give everyone pause about the Obama’s.
they are not requires to be lawyers to be in the white house… but he is required to be a “Natural Born Citizen” to be president, this is a MAJOR shortfall of the requirements to lead the U.S.A., not only was he born in Kenya Africa, he was raised, & holds citizenship in Indonesia! to further his Disqualifications, he holds a chair in the U.N. which by constitutional law is illegal. The President has defrauded, demilitarized,& disrespected the very core of our nation!!!
We have two blow hearts in the White House when they both should be in the Big House!
In all my years in this country, I have never heard so many crummy things about two people in Givernment any two … The even make Nixon look like a school boy, and they even make George Bush look honest and brainy!
It should be against the law for a lawyer to be anything but a lawyer – after all who else has a license to steal? So who’s idea was it to put them in charge of our country? I’m sure there are some honest lawyers out there [somewhere] but not the ones in the White House.
One point where the founding fathers failed was to make a fundamental requirement for public office be common sense – but maybe they were operating under the misguided impression that voters would always vote for somebody that could find their way home at night.
It all goes back to us the voter – too many of us are voting for what the government will give us and not what is best for the country.
This is fact. The Illinois Supreme Court in 1993 had here up on real state extortion charges surrounding a investigation in Chicago. Barack Obama was also up on similar charges.
“according to the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission (ARDC) of the Supreme Court of Illinois, Mrs. Obama ‘is on court ordered inactive status’. We don’t know why the court ordered her to inactive status.
Yes, essentially Michelle Obama was disbarred. The Supreme Court of Illinois stated that she is ineligible to practice law. Due to her being unable to practice law in the State of Illinois, she is ineligible to pass the bar in any other state or to get reciprocity. She is effectively disbarred. Otherwise she would be sanctioned and allowed to return to practice.”
Your “It’s a lie” link has logical holes. Refer to the text: “never the subject of any public disciplinary proceedings.”. That is a qualified explanation. We have no disposition of the existence or not, of a PRIVATE disciplinary proceedings.
And besides, who voluntarily surrenders their license, unless they are compelled to? What would compell the Obama’s to voluntarily surrender such a license that they worked so hard and so long to obtain?
The excuses don’t pass the smell test.
the main thing is that BOTH gave up their licence to practice law. It takes YEARS to become an attorney. WHY would TWO people in the same family GIVE UP the career they both supposedly strove to attain? MINUTES before they were to be disbarred? something really stinks there. you have to make a really big blunder for the bar to take your license. Of course, he also claimed he was a constitutional “professor: at Harvard, then Harvard finally comes out and confess’s that he was NEVER a professor of ANYTHING at harvard so there was ANOTHER lie from MR Sotereo. Is Barry simply nothing but a cronic liar and that’s what the bar found out about him? Could be he perjured himself on his bar exam app? Well we all know his personal motto “the only person who doesn’t tell the truth is a person with something to hide” SO, Barry, WHAT is it that you have to hide?
Hey geezer nerd. Now we have 2013. We really don’t care if they were or weren’t attorneys. We do care that our USA has been on the road to hell since obama is in the White House. We do care that students can’t have a tour of the White House. Security is not responsible for this latest act of the King. The obama children spend millions on vacations and Secret Service and so does michelle. He IS on the road to becoming a dictator. Taking all the steps that Hitler did to bring Germany under his control. What a fool you are Sir Geezer.
I am afraid he is setting himself up in the WH to not leave. I don’t think we will ever get rid of him.If & when he leaves it is no telling what condition our house will be in. It is my opinion there will not be a 2016 election.
