There's no evidence for that.
Obama, on the other hand, was the first ever black editor of the Harvard Law Review which is a prestigious publication.
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
I wouldn't go there Dave. Despite holding such a prestigious post and being a lecturer(not full professor as claimed on his official biography) at University of Chicago, he has never authored even one piece of published legal scholarship.
Basically, he is like an NFL first round pick who got cut because he didn't have what it takes.
How do you feel about his wife having her salary doubled at the University of chicago hopsital after he was elected to the Senate? Any appearance of impropriety there at all?
Quote from bigdavediode:
Editors usually edit. Writers usually write. And as for your irrelevant smear that he wasn't a professor (as if it matters) the U of C released a statement saying that he was, in fact, a professor.

I'll mention that to an editor that I know -- that he's just not "good enough" to be a writer. I'm sure he'll appreciate that.
Not really, actually, considering she was hired before Obama was even elected to the Senate, only received the salary increase as part of her promotion, and her salary is in line with every other vice-president at the hospital.
That's kind of the same type of smear as the Republicans used with "McCain has a black baby." Without context it sounds like something nefarious was going on.
The public is catching on to these evidence-free smears, whether of McCain or the Democrats, out of context infobits, and the Republicans' tactic of guilt by association.
At least I did anyway. [/B]

Are you aware that "the one" has held himself out to have written a book called "the audacity of hope"? Could you confirm that he only edited it? We may have news here.
As far as your insinuation that there was nothing unusual about her promotion and pay increase, I'll quote a post from Pabst.
""She's terrific," added Michael Riordan, who was president of the hospital in March 2005, (the very month her husband was sworn in as Senator) when Michelle Obama was promoted to vice president for external affairs and had her annual salary increased from $121,910 to $316,962."
Pabst did, of course, source this quote. If anyone doesn't smell a rat in that so called coincidental series of events, then they probably also believe that John Kerry "has a hat". And they probably believe everything Kieth Olberman says, too. lol

Ruining what, killing civilian women and children -- collarteral damage so multi national defense contractors can reap billions in contracts.
Quote from Landis82:
You are a complete moron.
McCain single-handedly took away the multi-billion dollar air-tanker contract from Boeing, forcing it into a re-bid process because McCain was concerned over pork-barrel spending/costs by the military contractor. It eventually went to the French (EADS) and NOC.
But of course, you only want to SEE what fits in with your biased view of the world.
Congrats.
