Obama Got “Discount” on Home Loan
by Jeff Davis
Slowly, hesitantly, tentatively, a few of the mainstream news media outlets are beginning to do their job and investigate Barack Obama. Initial indications are he’s just another corrupt, self-promoting politician. Unfortunately the media are still wearing their “kid gloves” whenever his name comes up.
Obama worked for a law firm that did civil rights litigation and neighborhood economic development. I guess that means using our taxpayer dollars to build more ghetto high rises and suing any employer, that an uppity Negro had a complaint about.
One source notes “The publicity from his election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review led to a contract and advance to write a book about race relations.[19] In an effort to recruit him to their faculty, the University of Chicago Law School provided Obama with a fellowship and an office to work on his book.[19] He originally planned to finish the book in one year, but it took much longer as the book evolved into a personal memoir. In order to work without interruptions, Obama and his wife, Michelle, traveled to Bali where he wrote for several months. The manuscript was finally published as Dreams from My Father in mid-1995.”
So, just because a bunch of liberals at Harvard voted Obama to be the first Black president of the Harvard Law Review (essentially winning a popularity contest), Obama apparently got a lucrative contract to write a book.
