Oral Roberts U grad Bachmann says Harvard grad Obama ‘isn’t well-schooled’

August 28, 2008
Michele Bachmann recently told the Hometown Source, an online extension of ABC Newspapers in the northern suburbs, that Barack Obama “isn’t well-schooled and prepared to be President of the United States.”

That’s an interesting observation, coming from a graduate of a law school that once lost its American Bar Association accreditation.


Bachmann got her undergraduate degree from Winona State University in 1978. She graduated from O.W. Coburn School of Law at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Okla., in 1986.


The ABA yanked Coburn’s accreditation in 1981 over its Christian litmus tests for students and faculty but later reinstated it. However, the law school closed in 1986 and donated its library to Pat Robertson’s Regent University in Virginia. Regent then started its own law school but didn’t receive ABA accreditation until 1996.


Bachmann also has a post-graduate degree in tax law from William and Mary Law School.


After she graduated from law school, Bachmann went to work as a tax collection lawyer for the IRS.


Obama, on the other hand, received an undergraduate degree from Columbia University in 1983. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1991 and became the first African-American president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review. After he graduated, Obama became a civil rights lawyer and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School.


Incidentally, Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle Obama, also is a graduate of Harvard Law School. Marcus Bachmann, Michele Bachmann’s husband, has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Union Graduate Institute, a mail-order school in Cincinnati.

Seriously?

You can't really believe that Bachmann was talking about the school he graduated from when she used the term "well schooled", can you? Anyone not looking at this through a leftist blinders should see that she was talkiing about his experience to lead our country on a global basis. At least you, the writer, don't purport to be an actual journalist, or do you?

actual journalist...

So, may I ask what constitutes being an "actual" journalist?

What is a journalist

A journalist is anyone who can snap a photo, write or tell a story, teach or inform others: we can all be journalists. The beauty of citizen journalism is that if you're doing it without pay there can be no possibility of monied bias. Someone working for a large network and pulling in a 6-7 figure salary isn't exactly free to speak his mind.

The voters of the 6th

The voters of the 6th Congressional District must be very proud that they chose to send Michelle Bachmann to Washington over Patty Wetterling. Bachmann's mouth and actions have resulted in one embarrassment after another for Minnesota on the national stage. She has shown over and over that she is immature, impulsive, and lacks basic common sense. The sad thing is that she probably will be re-elected and will continue her damage.
