It’s common knowledge that President-elect Barack Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for over a decade. We’ve also read quite about about the career of Jill Biden, the wife of the future V-P, who teaches community college English in Delaware. But this almost certainly the first time that the President, his Vice-President, and their spouses all have direct experience working in education. Michelle Obama works for University of Chicago Hospitals, while Joe Biden has also taught constitutional law for many years as an adjunct professor at Widener University School of Law.

How is it relevant that Michelle Obama worked for a hospital?
A hospital run by a university. Time will tell if it’s relevant. But it’s an interesting little historical quirk.
i do not know if i speak for many but my impression of the american society is very snobbish,while they expect their president to be flawless,he his projected as the perfect embelm of an american, successful,loving and loyal anything over and above that is almost near not accepted, he or she can forget to have any aspirations but on the there is forthright blatent relationships language the less said the better
the scene in india is like the politians are axpected to practice bigamy but gog forbid if a common does it , he would be ostrasied from society. a very callous ,double standards which are now a bane which no one even grumbles about .is this the 21st century ?
