I told you all of this so that you’d understand the reason that both Michelle and Barack Obama “lost” their law licenses is because they didn’t want or need their law licenses ever again; these two had no intention of ever working as lawyers again, so there was no reason to keep the law licenses or go through the expense and continual education requirements that would entail.
I don’t know what the annual fee is for the licenses, but it’s money wasted if you know you are never going to practice again. The continual education requirements would clearly not appeal to two people who are intellectually incurious and have shown zero interest in hard work…so why would they subject themselves to this if they knew they’d never need to practice law? Obama’s book sold and he made a lot of money off that and more money was promised to him via his political career. Michelle knew she’d never have to work a day in her life again once Obama became a US Senator…and now as a (soon to be former) First Lady of the United States she’ll live like a queen for the rest of her days.
I remember during the Clinton impeachment in 1998 that a big sticking point for Big Dawg was that he kept refusing to surrender his law license even though he knew he’d never practice law again. That’s because he was so proud of earning his law degree and passing the bar. It was a big deal to Bill because he worked so hard for that and no one helped him. Since both Michelle and Barack Obama were handed Ivy League degrees via affirmative action and they didn’t need to work hard for anything they got, those law licenses were as worthless as toilet paper to them and carried no emotional value whatsoever.
Just like a lot of things in the Obamas’ lives…once the law licenses weren’t useful any more, they were thrown away.
I heard this before. I dont blame Clinton for wanting to keep it. I wouldnt want to let go of something that I worked hard to get. I would think, most normal people would feel like that.
Clinton fought not have have is name damaged, being disbarred is humiliating.
The Obama's are just lazy. Or just realize being a lawyer is now beneath them.
I have licenses I no longer use but I do keep them current so I am one of the normal people . You never know when you might want to jump back into the field
