Oral Roberts U grad Bachmann says Harvard grad Obama 'isn’t well-schooled'

[meegbear]

Michele Bachmann recently told the Hometown Source, an online extension of ABC Newspapers in the northern suburbs, that Barack Obama “isn’t well-schooled and prepared to be President of the United States.”

That’s an interesting observation, coming from a graduate of a law school that once lost its American Bar Association accreditation.

Bachmann got her undergraduate degree from Winona State University in 1978. She graduated from O.W. Coburn School of Law at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Okla., in 1986.

The ABA yanked Coburn’s accreditation in 1981 over its Christian litmus tests for students and faculty but later reinstated it. However, the law school closed in 1986 and donated its library to Pat Robertson’s Regent University in Virginia. Regent then started its own law school but didn’t receive ABA accreditation until 1996.

Bachmann also has a post-graduate degree in tax law from William and Mary Law School.

After she graduated from law school, Bachmann went to work as a tax collection lawyer for the IRS.

Obama, on the other hand, received an undergraduate degree from Columbia University in 1983. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1991 and became the first African-American president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review. After he graduated, Obama became a civil rights lawyer and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School.

Incidentally, Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle Obama, also is a graduate of Harvard Law School. Marcus Bachmann, Michele Bachmann’s husband, has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Union Graduate Institute, a mail-order school in Cincinnati.

3. Bat girl is as batty as she looks, I expect.

Oral should have laid the hands on her noggin.

Edit...she did Oral Who On Oral What?

[Uben]

4. This from a woman who doesn't know what state.......

....the revolution began in? That fucking butt-ugly bitch is as ignorant as a fucking door knob and she has the audacity to criticize a man who is ten times more intelligent than she is? That just shows how truly ignorant she is.

[tanyev]

5. Good heavens, I am so sick and tired of this ignorant woman.

6. "Well-schooled" sounds like it has a slightly racist undertone to it.

But it's probably just me being overly sensitive. Then again, these Teabaggers love blowing their pig whistles.

[VWolf]

8. Actually, that was my first impression too n/t

[Pacifist Patriot]

10. You're not the only one.

But I could be sensitive to it because of the area of the country I've lived in the most.

[Sienna86]

7. Something's not right

How did she earn the masters degree in tax law from William and Mary?

[Pacifist Patriot]

9. I want proof.

[DURHAM D]

13. I would like to know if she took (or passed) the bar.

No mention of it.

Back in the 70s I knew several conservative Republican women who graduated from law school but never took the bar. They never planned to practice law. They just wanted to bring more credence to their verbal diarrhea.

11. The article is from August 27, 2008 a little in the past

2 elections ago

[jillan]

12. Surely she was referring to the last President, not this one. We all know how easily Bachmann

becomes confuzzled.

[hifiguy]

14. If Batshit Bachmann's stupidity were gold

she could buy the moon ten times over. If it were petroleum, gas would be $0.28/gallon.

[masmdu]

15. Oral U ? Ok...but is this 'tit for tat' ?

[Ilsa]

16. Her Tea Party buddies are cool with her having been a tax collections lawyer for the IRS?

Say it isn't so! She worked for the IRS. Brilliant.

I also think she's jealous of Obama's education.

[ehrnst]

17. Her husband has a MAIL ORDER Ph.D.:

"Michele Bachmann’s husband, has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Union Graduate Institute, a mail-order school in Cincinnati."
