#1 No he did not officially hold the title of professor, and many within the University of Chicago system were not at all happy about his appointment, privilege, and status as a "guest lecturer." The question that should be asked is, precisely how did he get there?

#2 his appointment was not part of an academic search process

#4 NPD Alert:

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) describes narcissism as a personality disorder that revolve around a pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and sense of entitlement. Often individuals feel overly important and will exaggerate achievements and will accept, and often demand, praise and admiration despite worthy achievements.

#6 I think its pretty clear Obama has been groomed for some time by a wealthy benefactor, who will dictate the payback. He has had quite an expensive education at elite schools, given opportunities few dare dream of. Same was said of Bill Clinton, a Rhodes scholar, and unlikely star as a son of a single mother from Arkansas. Rumors of a Rockefeller connection then also make sense now, considering the extensive family connections to Columbia, University of Chicago, etc.

#7 He might have been an undergraduate status professor. He did teach at UC. Tenured status takes over 5 years.

#8 We don't know yet who "the Guy behind the Guy" is, but every sucessful Chicago politician has one, or more. They will get to feed at the trough first, and at a private seating.
It's the Chicago Way, and I will try my best not to say "I told you so" to my non Chicago based friends.

#9 The only difference sometimes between "liar" and "lawyer" is in the spelling.
