Constitution Should Make you Giddy

Barack Obama mentions in passing that he was once a constitutional lawyer. I am one of his supporters and I think I have done much more then the average folks to get details about his past. I have actually hunted out the storyline on this guy and I still know very little about his time as a professor of Constitutional law. How long was this, when was this? Was it a couple years and he was an actual teacher or was he the TA in a Constitutional law class that some one assigned him to for law school credits.

I am guessing none of the answers to these questions is all that impressive or else there'd be a commercial about it paid by the Obama campaign, but I still wish I knew what they were. At the very least I should be able to spout out what college it was at, right? I mean shouldn't I have gotten a test or something before they let me wear the Obama t-shirt to work.

This country has a hunger for Obama, whether he wins the nomination or not thats undeniable. I think one of the reasons for this is that sense that he is an idealist and pragmatist on the same frosted mini wheat. The fact that he was once a constitutional lawyer makes me so happy. The Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights are the most important words that our President should go gah gah over. Every elected official should live and die by words like inalienable and of, by, for the people. He or She should get teary when they thinks about the freedom of the press and the genius of our founding fathers, of illegal search and seizure, and most of all that amendment that made it legal to drink booze again.

I can only assume that there is very little substance to the time Barack spent as a constitutional lawyer because a couple well placed sentiments about how much he loves the constitution would make me giddy and I am sure that, if there is going to be a second act to the Barack Obama story, this period in his history would have been turned into a digestible narrative by now. I am really hoping there is a second act instead of "Hillary somehow beat him" or "He won and then lost to McCain". Maybe someone out there knows what this narrative is, if you find 'em lemme know.
