WestVirginiaRebel Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Daily Caller: Not every Harvard Law School alumnus has a class devoted to him — but then, President Barack Obama is not just any alumnus. According to the Harvard Law School course catalog, professor Charles Ogletree will be teaching a reading group called “Understanding Obama” for one classroom credit during the 2013 spring term. “This reading group will focus on the way in which race, religion, and politics have impacted the development of President Obama as a leader,” the Harvard Law School Course Catalog explains. “We will explore his views as a biracial child, his time as a student at Harvard Law School, the successes and failures of his political campaigns, and the way religion and his views on faith nearly derailed his campaign. Finally, time will be spent analyzing the challenges he faces as president of the United States in establishing both his domestic and global policies.” Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991. He was elected the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review in 1990. Ogletree was a mentor to both President Obama and Michelle Obama while they were Harvard law students. In an interview, Ogletree explained to The Daily Caller that the reading group will deal with both the positive and negative issues surrounding Obama and his presidency. “They’ll be reading both critical and positive issues about Obama — of what’s happened in terms of the way the race and religion have been viewed during his candidacy, his presidency, and how it affects the larger country; and some other classic reading on issues of law and justice,” Ogletree said of the curriculum. According to Ogletree, his personal experience with the president, as Obama’s mentor, will not be a part of the reading group, though he made no bones about his admiration for Obama. “I’m an Obama fan, I love the president — love him and his wife,” he explained. “They were wonderful people to serve as a mentor when they were here in the law school at separate times in the 1980s. There’s a lot to learn.” ________ He's just sharing the lessons of love... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evad Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 "Understanding Obama" Should more accurately read "Finding Obama". I don't see any proof that he was ever there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they will examine his grades and interview classmates in depth. /s (If they can find any.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
