17 years late

[Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama got more than an education when he attended Harvard Law School in the late 1980s. He also got a healthy stack of parking tickets, most of which he never paid.

The Illinois Senator shelled out $375 in January - two weeks before he officially launched his presidential campaign - to finally pay for 15 outstanding parking tickets and their associated late fees.

The story was first reported Wednesday by The Somerville News.]

Did he only pay because he was running for president?

Easy to be cynical on stories like this.

Of course.

Otherwise, he is another liberal who views the law as applying to everyone else except themselves.

Presidential material?
