Rebuttals to Obamas and Law Licenses

The latest claim from the Birther crowd (from 2008 but making a comeback) is that Barack and Michelle Obama surrendered their law licenses in the state of Illinois "one step ahead of the law", citing misunderstood (perhaps deliberately) entries in the Illinois State Bar database and misrepresenting what Michelle did prior to becoming First Lady.

Here's an article to give some background on the claim: It Starts: Smear Campaign Makes Bogus Claims About Obamas Notice that the "authority" to the claim is anonymous and we're just supposed to take his word for it.

Snopes rebutted this argument back in 2010. snopes.com: Barack and Michelle's Law Licenses If you have somebody claiming Snopes is "pro-Democrat" or that "Soros owns Snopes" or other nonsense, use the links found here.
