"He was editor of the Harvard law review"

no he wasn't

"and a consitutional law professor for a decade"

not really it was a PC appointment demanded by the admin. of the college. His peers couldn't stand him, said he was lazy and not very bright

"
Obama’s past is shrouded in secrecy, but we do have some hearsay about his law-teaching days, via Doug Ross:

I spent some time with the highest tenured faculty member at Chicago Law a few months back, and he did not have many nice things to say about “Barry.” Obama applied for a position as an adjunct and wasn’t even considered. A few weeks later the law school got a phone call from the Board of Trustees telling them to find him an office, put him on the payroll, and give him a class to teach. The Board told him he didn’t have to be a member of the faculty, but they needed to give him a temporary position. He was never a professor and was hardly an adjunct.

The other professors hated him because he was lazy, unqualified, never attended any of the faculty meetings, and it was clear that the position was nothing more than a political stepping stool. According to my professor friend, he had the lowest intellectual capacity in the building. He also doubted whether he was legitimately an editor on the Harvard Law Review, because if he was, he would be the first and only editor of an Ivy League law review to never be published while in school (publication is or was a requirement).

Apparently the Harvard Law Review position was an Affirmative Action appointment awarded to him to give liberals an opportunity to congratulate themselves, much like the position he holds now."

Please feel free to post to me what his accomplishments were while holding that position at Harvard.

You can list what you believe his top 3 accomplishments, to date, have been as POTUS as well.

I'm assuming you wish to back up your post....

Slight correction...

Elected president of the Law Review, not editor. Part time Lecturer at U Chicago Law School, not constitutional law professor.
