Michelle Obama and Her Law License: Questions Raised

The Chicago Daily Observer reports on Michelle Obama:

To return to the Obamas, it is worth noting that Michael Sneed omitted to
state one curious fact in her column. Unlike her husband, Barack Hussein Obama
(that reference is not a slur since that is exactly how Obama chose to be
listed on his the Master Roll of Attorneys and on the face of his law license),
who opted to voluntarily assume inactive status as an attorney in 2008,
Michelle Obama has not registered with the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary
Commission since (drum roll for emphasis) 1993. Since she was admitted to the
bar in the Spring of 1989, her entire career as a licensed attorney lasted
less than five full years. As published, the item in the Sun Times would make
one believe that Michelle Obama assumed inactive status within the past few
months, not a decade and a half ago.

What is particularly mystifying about this fifteen year lapse in Michelle
Obama’s registration status in that she is constantly identified as an attorney
in print, notwithstanding her lack of a current law license, and she has held
a series of high level employment positions in the interim. Absent her
ability to practice law what precisely did she bring to the table in her various
positions? What were her other qualifications?
