Thanks for providing the details. Now we know that Obama accepted an offer to associate himself with a law firm 3 years after virtually every other member of his Harvard Law School class. That is the part that is either puzzling or illustrative depending on your point-of-view. And the timeline you've provided makes it even more so, I think. I'm not being critical. There's nothing wrong with writing your autobiography in your 20's. But most of us have to go out and get a job and work.

This scenario tells us something about Obama the man and the unusual life he's led. That's all.
