Barack Obama: Wordsmith extraordinaire
Obama blocked Born Alive Infant Protection Act
A graduate of Harvard Law School, Barack Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago for 10 years. Both schools are listed in the top 10 law schools in the country.
But Obama revealed his constitutional blind spot in his book The Audacity of Hope:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created [emphasis added] equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among those are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
… (T)he essential idea behind the Declaration—that we are born [emphasis added] into this world free, all of us; that each of us arrives with a bundle of rights that can’t be taken away by any person or any state without just cause; that through our own agency we can, and must, make of our lives what we will—is one that every American understands.
Note Obama’s choice of the word “born” over the word “created.” Perhaps that helps explain his support for unrestricted abortion. Also note that our “bundle of rights” can be “taken away” with “just cause.”

Hugh Hewitt has been questioning the ten years teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago. Apparently this claim is a lot of bluster. Obama might have taught occasional classes over that period of time, but was not a full time staffer.
He is as truthful as the bullet-dodging Hillary.
