Thankfully, Obama turned down the Univ. of Chicago full-time law professor offer

Would have been rather difficult to run for office if he would have said yes to the U of C teaching job!....

"Like Obama, each of the Law School's Senior Lecturers has high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined".
