<p>“It is interesting that in this long campaign, if there was any discussion of Obama skipping the Supreme Court or a well paying corporate job, I missed it. Yes, passing mentions, but no serious discussion regarding what this tells us about the person. How interesting.”</p>
<p>Au contraire, there has been significant mention (IMO) of the fact that as a grad of Harvard Law, when Obama went to Chicago, he could have had his pick of any number of blue-chip firms and made a fortune, but that he deliberately chose to be a community organizer. Wasn’t he an intern at Sidley & Austin when he was in Chicago (where he met his wife)? I’m not in the legal field but that’s a pretty heavy-hitting firm from what I understand.</p>
