You may have called them all professors, but they weren't all professors.
I know that colloquially students think anyone who stands in front of them is a professor, but in the ranks of academia, there is in fact a huge difference. It's no big deal when students or outsiders get it mixed up, but someone from academia really shouldn't and wouldn't.
In my experience, no university employee who is not a professor would ever use that title to describe him/herself. They would not use it on their resumes, nor would they sign it that way on a letter of recommendation they were writing for someone else. Barack Obama clearly knows better than to call himself a professor. He would never do so in a faculty meeting. That he keeps doing so out in public is a little odd.
this is so a non starter.
Seriously, noone cares.
You are whistling in the graveyard.
in academia to understand how this is such a big lie, they really value tenure, have to jump through hoops, and write and publish academic stuff, and when he was editor of the Harvard Law Review he didn't publish anything I don't think he has one published paper. But teaching, that's much easier, being an instructor, or even an adjunct professor which is a less humble word for instructor. It's very funny that he puffs up like this, it he was ever hired with that in his vita he'd be fired for fraudulently inflating his experience. So, you see, it's quite amusing. The poor fellow opens himself up to this by calling Hillary names. Guess he never learned why people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Sad, predictable, look to more foolish charges that make him look small and unpleasant.
Academia is very precise as to who is a professor.
It's somewhat like a nurse practitioner calling himself a physician. Getting tenure is a very very tough proposition.
