Hopefully he will keep his job if he is good at it. No sense wasting that education when lawyers can learn good practice from him, even if his politics suck.

As much as I sometimes differ with Obama's policies, you do not seem to understand what Marxism is at all and would do well to read up on it before trying to say who is or isn't a Marxist.

Not exactly something Obama is pushing for, among many, many other differences between his policies and Marxism.

Not so different from the general public that believes owning a home, having three or four kids, and driving new cars is a right.
