    Have you ever worked with a serious non profit before? If long hours for ty pay is being lazy, then yeah I guess you're right. If a real job is only one where you work in an office and clock out at 5, then yeah maybe you're right.

    I'm sure you think highly of your profession, but your post is fairly stupid.
    Dude. You were the one who was acting like Obama "donated to charity" because he chose not to work in a big law firm. I was only making the point that Obama probably would not have been very good at a big law firm. At this point in his career, the only way he would have been making tons of money is if he were a partner in a big law firm.

    I guess you'll just have to take my word for it, but it's highly unusual--in a bad way--for someone to be successful at Harvard Law School and not do a prestigious clerkship or work at a prestigious law firm. It just doesn't make any sense, unless that person knows he doesn't want to be a lawyer.

    Obama clearly did not have a taste for practicing law. Just like Bill Clinton. Obama wanted to be a politician. Just like Bill Clinton. And Obama's decision not to work at a big law firm does NOT represent his donation to charity. It represents him doing what he wanted to do. Obama did not sacrifice.

    I actually think Obama's fairly lazy. I don't think he would have cut it as a lawyer in a big firm.
    You are one dumb mother er. ^ That's sig. worthy stupidity right there.

    No no no, you think he's lazy. Don't try to come back and make an entirely different point now. You said it plain and clear above. Its pretty hard to misinterpret someone saying "He's lazy". Its clear he didn't take your line of work therefor he's obviously lazy even if the route he took meant just as hard if not harder work.

    Lazy!

    so is this sentiment held for ministers only?
    What sentiment? Is my sentiment about ministers directed only to ministers? Yes, I'd say so. Do you see why?

    No one who campaigns for two years straight can be called lazy.

    I'm amazed McCain made it through.

    They can if they've never had a clerkship.

    Lazy!
    You know what I was responding to. You were acting like his time was worth something, and therefore he was contributing to charity. I guess I could clarify for you: as a lawyer, Obama is lazy. That's relevant, because you were talking about him making a lot of money as a lawyer. Given the strange professional choices he made coming out of law school, I'm quite confident that he wouldn't have made a lot of money as a lawyer. I really believe that.

    He was born to be a politician, so that's what he did. He may work hard at that, I don't know. And, by the way, you shouldn't try to change it around by spouting nonsense about selfless community organizing and how "hard" it is.

    well i'm frankly not interested in the blathering you and whoever were going back and forth about. i was just focusing on that sentence i quoted from you. so you have no resentment for, or whatever it is you have against ministers, towards other people that live in mansions?

    So you have no interest in the context of my statments yet you're asking me for the context of my statements? You should read what already posted because your answer is there.

    Something doesn't have to be "hard" in order for it to take hard work to be accomplished. Hard work that many don't want to do. Its quite obvious and is made more so by each one of your posts how highly you hold your profession in regard, but that doesn't mean it holds some kind of nobility that other professions fail to achieve.

    You can think whatever you want of Obama as a lawyer or prospective lawyer but to think that the road wasn't paved for Obama to make a good deal of money considering his resume is just flat out stupid. Then again, is calling him lazy.

    I’m sorry if my level of evidence is more than yours.
    I see I missed proofreading that sentence. Let me clarify. I meant to say the level of evidence I require to form opinions and facts seems to be at a higher requirement.
