Or, lorelie, you could just check with University of Chicago Law School which released a statement on the matter last week. Obama was a Senior Lecturer:

“Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track,” the university statement said.

Llamas for Obama!

Good one BonoX, that's the same argument the white supremacy crowd uses. "We're not against black people, we're just FOR white people."

It's the fifth story down on the front page along with a lengthy poo poo by Josh that the traditional media is essentially giving Clinton a big pass.

Since we got to stare for four days at headline with McCain calling out Obama on the public funds pledge, it would be nice if this NY Times article got a little play too. Especially since the article predates by two days public funding pledge bs by McCain.

"McCain Signs Up a Bush Fund-Raising Organizer."
And the money quotes, pun intended, from the article:

Mr. McCain’s advisers said that the senator’s campaign would also be bestowing titles on its most prolific fund-raisers under an “incentive system,” with privileges for those who raised the most money.

Mr. McCain’s advisers said that the candidate, despite his signature legislative efforts to restrict the money spent on political campaigns, WOULD NOT ACCEPT PUBLIC FINANCING (emphasis mine) and spending limits for this year’s general campaign.

And

Mr. McCain’s advisers insisted that the senator was not turning his back on a campaign finance system, which bans large “soft-money” donations to the political parties, that he helped put in place. “The senator’s always been an advocate of contributions from individual Americans,” said Wayne Berman, a major McCain fund-raiser. “It’s those contributions that are supporting his presidential campaign.”

Huh.

I see you got the Clinton campaign talking points.

Obama's economic plan was released before Hillery's so the plagiarism charge is just another desperate attempt by the Clinton campaign to ride on Obama's coattails.

Nice try though.
