Because I live in Chicago, one of the questions I get asked a lot via email or comments on this site is if I know why the Obamas both lost their licenses to practice law in Illinois (not that a lack of license can really stop a Democrat from practicing law…just ask Elizabeth Warren about that). I think I know why they lost their licenses, but the answer may surprise (or disappoint) you.
According to people I know who worked with Michelle Obama when she was employed by the City of Chicago, Michelle hated being a lawyer. The work was too hard and she was not very good at it. The reason Michelle went to work for the City is because she was hired via a recommendation from Jesse Jackson which then qualified her as a “Jesse Hire”; this is slang here in Chicago for an “untouchable hire”, meaning this is someone on the City payroll who can never be fired or even disciplined in any way because their employment was a political favor to someone. In Michelle’s case, that someone was Jesse Jackson and Michelle was thus one of the many black people working for the City at Jackson’s insistence who were not expected to actually do their jobs and instead could read newspapers, shop in catalogs, play Minesweeper on their computers, or just spin aimlessly around in their swivel chairs all day. Michelle reportedly took two or even three lunch breaks a day, would disappear for hours, went on constant “personal appointments” and treated her work space at the City like it was an airport lounge: a place to go for a while to kill time where she could snack, peruse magazines, gossip, and talk loudly on the phone with girlfriends and laugh and laugh and laugh.
No one could say boo to her and a LOT of resentment developed, of course, but this is how Chicago operates and even Mayor Daley (who ruled the city as a king) was terrified of angering Jesse Jackson because Jesse’s big threat was always to find some excuse to dispatch the Rainbow Push Coalition to the streets to rant, rave, scream, and protest that Daley was…wait for it…bet you can’t guess…RACIST!

Law and Disorder - the Police are there to PRESERVE DISORDER!
"The Police are not there to Create Disorder, the Police are there to PRESERVE Disorder!" - Mayor Richard J. Daley, Aug., 1968.
While the Media had a good laugh at the expense of our Beloved Mayor in the midst of riots and mayhem, Windy City residents just giggled. Chicago has always had our share of characters: from the early days of Hinky Dink and Bathouse John to Big Bill Thompson and Scar Face Al to the happy years when the "Boss" held sway onto the "Reform" of Harold Washinton we always could count on a an interesting personality in our leaders.
The dilemma facing the nation now is not so funny. Saddled with a Leader who is obsessed with his Golf Game and threatened with a real Race War this is barely the time to laugh.
The Enemy Without, ISIS, Al-Qaeada, Hamas, Boko Haram and their ilk are watching carefully and exploiting each opening they find in our defenses.
The Enemy Within, which we have seen in the streets of Missiouri and view nightly on the South and West sides of Chicago threatens all that is worthwhile about America.
While Law is here to Create and Preserve Order we are witness to a plethora of elements that thrive on Disorder.
The Race Hustlers and unwashed mobs we have been deluged with in the last two weeks thrive on Disorder (But they call it "Protestin'"). They threaten more if they do not get their way.
Law by Mob Rule.
ISIS, Al-Queda, Hamas and the other "Islamist" Groups thrive on Disorder that creates Fear which is racheted up to Terror.
Law by Dictator.
All of the forces named supra are the enemies of Law since they are totally opposed to any form of Order, unless it is theirs.
Stand Strong and stand for Law and Order.
