Line 271: − − __NOTOC__ − {| − |-valign="top" − |<center><big><big>A comparison between the accomplishments of Barack Obama and Andrew Schlafly</big></big></center> − While superficially there appear to be no two people more different than [[Barack Obama]] and [[Andrew Schlafly]], they have led strangely parallel lives. They both attended Harvard Law School at the same time, and both graduated with honours. They both had aspirations for an academic career lecturing on law, before turning their respective attentions to a run for elected office. But somehow now, in October 2008, one is running for President of the United States, while the other is in a church basement teaching homeschooled students that Vikings having a settlement in North America is a myth created by liberals to denigrate Christians. − |} − − <table width=100% cellspacing=5> − <tr> − <td width=45% valign=top> − − <h2 style="margin:0;background-color:#c0c0c0;font-size:135%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #000000;text-align:center;color:#000000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;">Barack Hussein Obama II</h2> − </td><td width=45% valign=top> − <h2 style="margin:0;background-color:#c0c0c0;font-size:135%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #000000;text-align:center;color:#000000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;">Andrew Layton Schlafly</h2> − </td></tr></table> − − ===Early Life=== − <table width=100% cellspacing=5> − <tr> − <td width=45% valign=top> − *Father: Barack Hussein Obama − :Immigrant from Kenya − </td><td width=45% valign=top> − *Father: John Fred Schlafly − :Came from a well-to-do St. Louis family. − :John Schlafly's father August Schlafly married Catharine Hubert whose father was a wealthy businessman, the source of the family's wealth − </td></tr> − <tr><td width=45% valign=top> − *Mother: Ann Dunham − </td><td width=45% valign=top> − *Mother: [[Phyllis Schlafly]] (née Phyllis McAlpin Stewart), conservative writer and activist − </td></tr></table> − − ===Academic Record=== − <table width=100% cellspacing=5> − <tr> − <td width=45% valign=top> − *B.A., Columbia University, 1983 − *J.D., Harvard, 1991, ''magna cum laude'' − *Lecturer of Law, University of Chicago, 1992-1996 − *Senior Lecturer of Law, University of Chicago, 1996-2004 − </td> − <td width=45% valign=top> − *BSE (Electrical Engineering), Princeton, 1981 − *J.D., Harvard, 1991, ''magna cum laude'' − *Adjunct Professor, Seton Hall Law School, 2 semesters − </td> − </tr> − <tr><td width=45% valign=top> − *President of ''Harvard Law Review''<ref>A full-time volunteer position functioning as editor-in-chief and supervising the ''Law Review'''s staff of eighty editors.</ref>, Editor in Chief − </td><td width=45% valign=top> − *Editor of ''Harvard Law Review''<ref>Yes that is right, Obama was Andy's supervisor!</ref> − </td></tr></table> − − ===Work Career=== − <table width=100% cellspacing=5> − <tr><td width=45% valign=top> − *Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland − :A twelve-attorney law firm specializing in civil rights litigation and neighborhood economic development − ::Associate 1993 to 1996 − ::Counsel 1996 to 2004 − </td><td width=45% valign=top> − *Legal Counsel for the [[Association of American Physicians and Surgeons]] − :The AAPS is listed as a [[quack]] organization − </td></tr> − <tr> − <td width=45% valign=top> − *Head of community organization initiative encompassing 8 parishes, 13 staff, and a budget of $400,000 − </td><td width=45% valign=top> − *Teacher of a couple dozen underachieving homeschoolers with the spurious claim of being "the world's largest pre-college class on American History"<ref>Without any evidence besides the fact that he couldn't imagine a larger one, Schlafly called his American History course [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Template:Mainpageright&oldid=502612 "The world's largest pre-college class on American History"], claiming it had 48 students.

Obama website Fight The Smears has confirmed that Obama was once a Kenyan citizen until 1982. Attorney Philips Berg's lawsuit is being challenged by the Obama Campaign. Instead of producing the original birth certificate in court and put the matter to rest, they seek to have the lawsuit dismissed. <ref>[http://newsbusters.org/blogs/p-j-gladnick/2008/09/29/fight-smears-website-admits-obama-was-kenyan-citizen-wheres-msm 'Fight the Smears' Website Admits Obama was Kenyan Citizen: Where's the MSM?] NewsBusters.org, September 29, 2008</ref>
