Beginning in 1991, Barack Obama was a law professor at the University of Chicago Law School. He spent 12 years there, carefully honing his skills in preparation for his political career. The New York Times has written an interesting article regarding Obama's tenure at the school. He's described as being very jovial with his students and enigmatic when dealing with his fellow faculty members. Below is a quote attributed to Obama concerning bipartisanship:
“On the national level, bipartisanship usually means Democrats ignore the needs of the poor and abandon the idea that government can play a role in issues of poverty, race discrimination, sex discrimination or environmental protection.”
An interesting read regarding Obama's thought processes at the time (he once turned down an offer of tenure at the law school). It's amazing where a vision can lead, with preparation.
